I'm getting a Bastille, Wombats or Two Door Cinema Club vibe from Apex, there is a Indie Pop perfection here. There is no holding back when it comes to experimentation, there's a strange little effect in the mid section that adds to the atmosphere - the newest single City Girls alludes to this as well,...

Wanna Know is the newest release from Lock-In hailing from London, it's got a twang of Catfish and the Bottlemen and Pavement, with vocals that are setting into the style of Cloud Nothings. Give it a listen below, it will get trapped in your head in a good way. So to commemorate the release of... Continue Reading →
First thing is first, WHAT THE HELL? The first Surfer Blood album was 10 YEARS AGO?! I feel so old. Anywho, Karen is their latest release and it is surprisingly chill compared to their first outing (yes, there have been 4 albums and 2 re-releases since but i'm still reeling from this realisation) and their...

Every so often you hear something that takes you by surprise, takes you back to another time. Think Bombay Bicycle Club and Maximo Park. This is an amazing new track from The Motive, Rush is a great Indie Pop tune that will get you moving. Cannot wait to see these guys live. Check them out,... Continue Reading →
It seems that any track called 'Crocodile' is destined to be amazing. It's intense, the frenzied beat, the horns, the chant-like vocals. Fresh I think would be the best way to sum it up. I can definitely see this one being played at indie nights and getting people either up and moving or intensely confused.... Continue Reading →
It sounds terrible to say but I really thought this was the Walkmen, then I realised that I had a new favourite song. For the time-being anyway. Energy and Strokes-esque lo-fi, what more do you need to know? https://open.spotify.com/track/187b3jE1ZkGpcJwWrLzvDs?si=H5rd05vsRSiG_PT-bs1_rw
Folk, Pop, Indie, relatable, sarcastic and a multi instrumentalist, needless to say, Caroline Rose is 100% going to be huge. Her debut is pretty much spot on and her latest is a bit more poppy IMHO but you need them in your life. She will be appearing at The Great Escape in Brighton this year... Continue Reading →
Outrageously happy toe tapper. It'll get stuck in your head like all good indie pop should. Think back to OK Go and The Vines and you are in the right ballpark. Only criticism, it's so short! Badabada, badabada https://open.spotify.com/track/7pUgW7vYykmDysPZItFQXK?si=ajNNN3FiTyyNrySFA46_yw
Awesome earworm work form the brilliantly named 'Vinyl Staircase'. This track really should be solely played in dark little clubs to tap your foot to and people watch. https://open.spotify.com/track/34n1LZmHUCpsYvFd6wSFZd?si=ZQstuQPbRu22DEJyBCvTYw
I was shocked to discover that this wasn't Los Campesinos! IT'S SO HAPPY and at the same time kind of a downer. Dancey without being electro, a bit of a frenzy of xylophonic goodness. https://open.spotify.com/track/2oolh94qlIbmH28hVvYUBV?si=_oZ6W45PSzKS3D1YDg-M1w
