Today being Sunday, the day of rest, I thought it'd be fitting to write up Birmingham's Liamosino. Psych and 60's hippie vibes absolutely drip from this track, I think it'll be a definite hit with the counter-culture crowd. Interesting side note, I read that Liamosino is 'one of the only people to successfully pull off... Continue Reading →
Hoodooleen is Robert James Hudulin (pretty smart way to come up with a band name, very cool) coming to you from Australia via Croatia. He creates calming but incredibly dramatic, larger than life show tune-esque indie pop. That is what makes Hoodooleen different from pretty much everything else I have heard this year, it's so...

Massive guitar fuzz with a pounding bassline, just what you need for a Friday night right? Edge of Desire hail from Guildford and create huge atmospheric sounds, they bring to mind newer Muse, Radiohead and in vocal style a bit of Wild Beasts - so all round a really tight mix of well thought out...

Laid back, sleezy, bluesey, jazz is utterly incredible. I can't help but get the feeling of being in a black and white movie and feeling effortlessly cool while listening to Year of the Dog, which is a real achievement. I have previously reviewed Red Rum Club and there are a lot of similarities but also... Continue Reading →

Proper rock that with a sense of angst that is a strangely missing from indie recently. There are some real standouts on the new album Liverpool, the titular track being a slow ballad, that is showcasing... Continue Reading →
To anyone thats been in a band that's gigging and trying to make a name for themselves (I guess that's quite a lot of us) this song really will speak to you. A tale of 'driving a car that's worth less than your guitar'. Snacks at Midnight are just entirely fun, they just have a... Continue Reading →
As a massive fan of Camera Obscura, Raye Zaragoza is like coming home. The lazy dreamy quality of horns and steel string with a brilliantly powerful and honest vocal style is a perfect match. Enthralling Indie Folk that has an honesty and innocent happiness that everyone will love. It's over all too soon but I... Continue Reading →

Now, if you are in the mood for some really off the wall Tame Impala meets The Cramps meets The Pixies type of lo-fi indie, you have found your band. Probably one of the strangest layered tracks I have heard in a while. The chantlike lyrics enter into a swirling unrelenting chorus and a massive... Continue Reading →
It's Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK and I think that if any song was one that could properly convey the message that everything will be alright, then this is it. Also, this song will instantly get stuck on your head, you have been warned. It is incredibly catchy. The Mowgli's have played literally... Continue Reading →
