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: Eliza Shaddad – Wars
Eliza Shaddad Oh Eliza Eliza Eliza, one of my favourite tracks of 2015 now has a video meaning we get to share the song all over again. Eliza Shaddad’s magnificent track Wars made an instant and very big impact on me upon first listen last year, you can read how I felt back then here … Continue reading
Just Listen: John Joseph Brill – False Names
John Joseph Brill I’ve had the absolute pleasure of 5 minutes in this man’s company as well as seeing him live and hearing his debut track way ahead of ever getting it in my inbox from a PR company. John Joseph Brill has a voice that more than matches his stature and appearance: manly and … Continue reading
Just Listen: Catholic Action – L.U.V
Catholic Action Words: Gary Feeney It seems like Catholic Action have been playing in and around their native Glasgow for ages now, garnering a reputation as a must-see live act in a local scene that is as high in standard as it is in variety and depth. As such, it feels a little strange that … Continue reading
Just Listen: Marsicans – Arms Of Another
Marsicans I have come to the conclusion that people who are banging on about a lack of guitar music have no idea what they are saying. I say this because there’s loads of it and some of it is fabulous. Some of it is scuzzy rock n roll influenced, some of it is shoegaze psychedelia … Continue reading
Just Listen: Fatherson – Lost Little Boys
Fatherson Fatherson are back with their first new track of 2016. And they bring with them their full arsenal of musical weapons. Lost Little Boys is an indie rock track which is destined to put them on the map. One of our ones to watch this year, besides us banging on about them for years, … Continue reading
Video Premiere: Robbie Cavanagh – Which Way To New York
Robbie Cavanagh I have already had the pleasure of watching Robbie Cavanagh perform live and I did so enjoy it so when he got in touch to offer the premiere of his newest video for single, Which Way To New York, I jumped at the chance. Which Way To New York sees Robbie pulling at … Continue reading
Just Listen: Skies – Drone
Skies Skies have produced an electro-pop track that just sings to me. Drone has everything I love in this kind of a track – it has an epic-ness to it; the build, the drop, the soothing to the powerful, the fractiousness between the fun in parts of the electronic track versus the deepness of emotion … Continue reading
Album Review: Night Beats – Who Sold My Generation
Who Sold My Generation Released 29th January 2016 Words: Sion Ford Perhaps they’re not one of the most prominent bands of the garage rock scene, but Night Beats are definitely a band that should be on people’s radars, especially with the release of their third album, Who Stole My Generation. Keeping themselves in that slightly … Continue reading
Just Listen: Viola Beach – Boys That Sing
Viola Beach Now seems like a new era of the indie band and one of the best around is Warrington’s Viola Beach. With much loved jingly jangly guitars and catchy melodies that can, well quite frankly, be sung along by anyone they give us their latest single Boys That Sing. I reckon this will be … Continue reading
Live Review: Cairobi, Shiners, Dead Ceremony
Hopscotch @ The Social, Little Portland Street, London, 19th January 2016 Words: Nick Jacques The Social is the setting for this relatively new gig night up in central London. According to the curator Jack Saunders, he wants to etch a hopscotch game onto the floor of the venue so punters can have a bit of … Continue reading
Interview: Black Honey
Black Honey Words: Gary Lambert Photos: Gaz Jones In the British music blogging world there was one winner of 2015. Brighton’s female-fronted indie rock band Black Honey have had blog-bouquets and review-riches thrown at them from before the release of their single Madonna. Popped Music have had the fortune to watch Black Honey on several … Continue reading
Just Listen: Ovvls – Pain Is Beauty
Ovvls The debut single, Pain Is Beauty, from new duo Ovvls is quite frankly a masterpiece of Gothic proportions. It creates such imagery in my mind – tall skeletal figures creeping jauntily around in the shadows before finally making a run for it across a moonlit hill before meeting their untimely demise. It’s a track … Continue reading
Just Listen: Haarm – Foxglove
Haarm Formed almost entirely in secret it would seem, Haarm is Liverpool’s newest three piece electro-pop outfit. Their debut track, Foxlove, gives hints at an exciting project which features vocals from Popped’s favourite Electro-Pop queen Jennifer Davies. Foxlove provides layers of shimmering electronica with a solid driving beat and hushed male/female vocals. It’s overriding effect … Continue reading
Just Listen: Wild Nothing: Reichpop
Wild Nothing Words: Elena Katrina I’m not in the habit of comparing bands to other bands, I find it a bit lazy. That being said, if you are missing Bombay Bicycle Club and particularly enjoyed their most recent album, So Long See You Tomorrow, then I don’t think you’d be too disappointed with Bella Union … Continue reading
