Orchards – ‘Darling‘ Brighton’s Orchards are fresh off a UK and EU tour supporting PWR BTTM and their emimently danceable math rock is showcased perfectly on ‘Darling’. Combining elements of latter-day Paramore with some of Dutch Uncles’ clever sensibilities, it even has a gloriously powerful singalong chorus that ends with the statement ‘I can be…
Sl0tface – ‘Magazine‘ We’ve been huge fans of Sl0tface ever since we heard the anthemic ‘Kill em with Kindness’ and every subsequent release has shown they’re a band that are not afraid to make their feelings known on a wide spectrum of hugely important subjects – all while never forgetting the importance of a good…
Fizzy Blood – ‘Pawn‘ Unveiled ahead of support tour to While She Sleeps, Fizzy Blood’s ‘Pawn’ is a high-octane blast of fun-filled rock with riffs, hooks and even ‘la, la, la’ singalongs. While Heck and Refused could both be touchpoints, there’s also something altogether more grungey as the band sing about how: ‘It’s time to face the music,…
Agnes Obel – ‘It’s Happening Again’ If you’ve listened to 6Music over the past few weeks, you’re bound to have heard this deeply affecting song from Agnes Obel. Beautiful and with whimsical lyrics and a melody that you can’t help but wrap yourself all up in, it’s a bittersweet song from the Danish singer-songwriter that…
Minus the Bear – ‘Invisible‘ It’s been far too long since we heard from Minus the Bear and ‘Invisible’ marks their welcome return. The first track to be aired from their new album ‘VOIDS’ (out in March via Suicide Squeeze Records), it’s an addictive slice of pop hooks and mathy riffs as the band sing…
Bruising – ‘What It Feels Like’ Released via Too Pure Singles Club ahead of a tour with Menace Beach, Bruising’s ‘What It Feels Like’ is a song that couldn’t be more of a contrast to their aggressive name. Short and sweet with gliding vocals and guitar hooks that bring to mind some of the early…

Fizzy Blood – ‘Animals’ Opening with Reuben-style riffs and vocals that nod to Future of the Left, Fizzy Blood’s ‘Animals’ wastes no time in telling you how ‘we’re all just animals’. Heavy and dark but with plenty of melody, there are also slightly twisted lyrics stating: ‘Nothing left to lose, a neck tie for a…
Sl0tface – ‘Empire Records’ Sl0tface show just what great taste they have with a song named after the film that brought ‘Rex Manning Day’ to the world’s attention and manages to reference High Fidelity. Two of the greatest films about record shops ever made, you’ll want to join Haley Shea as she lays bare her…
Living Body – ‘Choose’ A Leeds supergroup formed by members of Sky Larkin, Vessels and Juffage, Living Body’s new track is a Life Without Buildings-style anthem that is full of melodic angst. The words ‘Get out while you can’ are repeated over and over again, while there is also something excitingly orchestral in the sound.…
