We don’t need to reiterate how much we loved Stagecoach. Providing so many great memories over the years, there’s still a tinge of sadness that they called it a day last year. At least they left on a high, with ‘Say Hi to the Band’ being pretty much the perfect indie-pop album and one you…
A long-time favourite of Spectral Nights, Fatherson’s emotion-packed Scottish indie will leave an impression on even the most unlikely of music fans. Already BBC Introducing regulars and well loved north of the border, they hit the ground running when they supported on Lonely the Brave’s nationwide tour at the turn of the year. In what,…
Here’s another great video from one of our favourites – Spring Offensive. ‘Bodylifting’ finds the band in fighting-fit form, both in sound and in the video, conceived and directed by band members Matt Cooper and Lucas Whitworth. Opening with a swirling and rhythmic chant of ‘I feel your body lifting, I feel a shape is…
To mark our 100th post, we have a very special video from our friends Our Lost Infantry. It’s safe to say this site probably wouldn’t exist without the recently expanded Surrey five piece, who have always been fully supportive and provided us with so many band suggestions and pictures of their constantly smiling bass player,…
Yellow Bird Project has been teaming up with a number of brilliant bands since 2006 to create exclusive T-shirts that have raised funds for a number of charities. Among these bands have been Bon Iver, The National and The Shins – quite a lineup, we’re sure you’d agree. Now they have turned their attention to…
A band originally from the Isle of Wight, but now based in London, Victory Kicks are set to release their new album The Decibel Age later in the year. The first single from the album, ‘Junior Code Course’ is available via Bandcamp now and perfectly encaptures the band’s breezy take on fine indie-pop. The home-produced…
Three brothers from Farnham, Surrey, The Venus Lyx have already played The Summer Westival and various shows around the local area and on the South Coast, as well as with Spectral Nights favourites Sister Leona. Now they’ve released the first track from what could be a new EP, called ‘Saint Mary Waking Home’. Recorded live…
After the success of Parachute for Gordo’s EP launch at the West End Centre on Friday 28 March, the next night saw a marked difference in volume as former And So I Watch You From Afar man Tony Wright brought his VerseChorusVerse project to the hallowed venue. Armed with just an acoustic guitar and a…
When The Muppets made their big-screen return in 2011, it was a triumph for family-friendly comedy. The film was a heartfelt and very funny tribute to what it meant to be part of the Muppet family and also had all the belly laughs you’d expect from Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and co.…
An ode to anyone who has listened to, recommended or shared a Dad Rocks! song, ‘Peers’ is the first song to be released from the eagerly awaited second album ‘Year of the Flesh’. For those unfamiliar with Dad Rocks!, it is Mimas man Snævar Njáll Albertsson’s solo project. 2011’s ‘Mount Modern’ stands out as one…
