Just Listen: Pip Hall – Fire
Pip Hall Words: Nick Bewes When Editor Elena emailed about this track, she said ‘Pip Hall is amazing’. And you know what, she is. I’m ashamed to say that she’s a new name to me, but one that I’ll be keeping an eye out for especially as her debut album is due this summer. Described … Continue reading

Ider They give little away on their own social media accounts but a little digging can find you a bit more about the London based female duo Ider.

SXSW With: Our Girl
Our Girl Words & Photos: Elena Katrina It’s OK to see a band you like more than once in a few weeks, it’s OK to see them 4 times in less than 3 weeks, I know this, because I’ve done it. I did it with Our Girl, though it wasn’t necessarily intentionally but if they’re … Continue reading
SXSW With: Only Girl
Only Girl Words & Photos: Elena Katrina I discovered Only Girl a few years back and I don’t really recall where or how, I just know that her vocal was mesmerising. Not long after I managed to see her play to a very small group of people at a very small and very wonderful independent … Continue reading
SXSW With: Tijuana Bibles
Tijuana Bibles Words & Photos: Elena Katrina Sometimes bands can fall off your radar and throw themselves right back in when you least expect it.

SXSW With: Pale Waves
Pale Waves Words & Photos: Elena Katrina Do you want to do something with Pale Waves at SXSW was the e-mail I had a few weeks ago. YES! Was my answer… then nothing, zip, nada.

SXSW With: Flyte
Flyte Words & Photos: Elena Katrina I’ve never interviewed a band at 11pm before, that I can recall, because that usually means they’ve already been on stage to play. Not this time though, with a hefty 12.20 set time 11pm seemed a reasonable time to meet up in Downtown Austin with Flyte ahead of their … Continue reading

Just Watch: Marsicans – Throw Ourselves In
Marsicans Words: Elena Katrina Sometimes there are no words, sometimes there is only laughter and smiles and that’s the case with the new video for Throw Ourselves In by one of our faves… Marsicans!

Just Watch: The Wild Things – Loaded Gun
The Wild Things Words: Elena Katrina The Wild Things are coming for you and they’re latest track Loaded Gun is loaded with with 60s vibes and a hell of an infectious melody.

Just Listen: Cape Cub – Searchlight
Cape Cub Words: Elena Katrina Cape Cub has a wonderful way with words, something he just doesn’t ever seem to fall short on. What he also has, in new track Searchlight, is something quite dark and haunting in his vocal. This track feels more laid bare than some of his other singles such as All … Continue reading
