Just Listen: Pillars – You Got This
Pillars Listen to You Got This here: You Got This is the new single from Pillars and it’s a track that breathes.

Just Listen: Peter Lyons – Envy
Peter Lyons Listen to Envy here: Peter Lyons more or less manages to get that “tv take over” effect you so often see when a movie baddy forcefully steals a TV channel. First it goes fuzzy, blurrs in and out until you see the bigger picture. By chopping up disjointed electronica with a more classical … Continue reading

Just Listen: HAUS – Haze
HAUS Listen to Haze here: HAUS are hitting the scene hard and fast with their extremely damn catchy debut single Haze.

Just Listen: Grass House – Unknown In The Scene
Grass House Listen to Unknown In The Scene here: There’s something about Unknown In The Scene that reminds me of The Libertines. It’s the melodic almost melancholy structure of the vocals more than anything, they don’t sound like Pete or Carl really. The track feels a tiny bit cleaner in production too but Grass House … Continue reading
