Just Listen: High Tyde – Dark Love
High Tyde Do you like your guitars to sound angry and to be played fast? Do you like to hear lyrics spat out passionately, drums hit at a ferocious pace and to be wrapped up in a whirlwind of visceral sound? Like all of that but still with a dose of indie pop stitched into … Continue reading
Just Listen: Girl Friend – Waste My Time
Girl Friend There’s most definitely a group of emerging bands right now who are hitting it right on the head with their 80s electro-pop vibes and Girl Friend are one of those bands. Stylishly synth heavy and pounding, with glorious layered vocals their new single, Waste My Time, basically makes it almost impossible for me … Continue reading

Just Watch: Clean Cut Kid – Pick Me Up
Clean Cut Kid It’s been a fun ride watching Clean Cut Kid smashing it left right and centre.

They follow up their last single, Runaway, with a new … Continue reading
Just Watch: Dazes – The Family
Dazes It’s been over a year since I last wrote about North London band Dazes and it’s no wonder I found something about their brand new video for The Family, so familiar. The band have been keeping a low profile by all accounts but now seemed poised to pounce with their powerfully psychedelic infused sound. … Continue reading

Just Watch: Seafret – Wildfire
Seafret When a video and song come together and basically make you feel like your world stopped moving you know you have to share it. I’m fairly sure I was holding my breath through watching some Seafret’s video for recent single Wildfire. Fabulous idea to replicate the 1997 study “The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness”. … Continue reading
Just Watch: Hayley Cannon – Who Are You

Just Watch: Tom Speight – Little Love
Tom Speight Watch the video for Little Love here: My first proper introduction to Tom Speight was when I saw him play a very intimate set for Sofar Sounds in 2014 and since then he’s kind of passed me by. Until today someone tweeted me the link to the video for Little Love and as … Continue reading
Just Watch: Paperwhite: Get Away
Paperwhite Watch the video for Get Away here: With a decidedly 80s electronica vibe running through it, Get Away is the new single from Paperwhite.

Just Watch: Katie And I – Wolves (Live)
Katie And I With the simplicity of two voices and one piano Katie And I manage to create one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in such a long time. With the most delicate graceful movement the track builds in passion through the outpouring of emotion that is carried in the vocal. The … Continue reading

The Bohicas + Sugarmen + Sankofa 8th October, Loft Art’s Club, Liverpool Words: Gary Lambert Opening up the night of three real up-and-comers was Liverpool’s Sankofa.

Just Watch: Blossoms – Charlemange
Blossoms Watch the video for Charlemange here: Blossoms follow up their massive track Blown Rose with new single Charlemange. This time they’re kicking things back up a little. It’s more like their earlier tracks; more hints at rock n roll without actually being rock n roll and this is how I prefer them to be. … Continue reading
