Where to start. I love the name, very X-Files, love the artwork, very Bryan Lee O'Malley but most importantly the music is spot on. From the jaunty piano intro to the shamelessly sing-a-long chorus what isn't to like?? They are like what Panic at the Disco could have been if they were good. You can... Continue Reading →
So after giving 'Vultures' by Chemtrails a listen I was under the impression that the band were a bouncy Indie Pop outfit, listening to the newer material they seemed to have had a slight shift of focus into a more abrasive niche. Give it a listen and tell me your thoughts. https://open.spotify.com/track/0lVLQ3jLvkLUPCb3dTbyFm?si=AYblS6zeRB27JU4pt1mmCw

Their previous album, Con Todo El Mundo has pretty much been on my playlist since the day it came out and this new album... Continue Reading →
Think 70s, think Marc Bolan, think Arcade Fire circa 'Funeral' and throw in some odd one liners and you'll have 'Johnny Raincloud'. I think that's pretty spot on. https://open.spotify.com/track/6y1yoSPlLh8aFdx2WhoWXF?si=O4AKdGfTTBuYZYEJZuxnTw

Also, any song including the Mario coin noise is a massive thumbs up. https://open.spotify.com/track/0AoJYnxqd7vPYJN3qMxRMh?si=QD-pSlhRTru9wwCFVJ1uMw
Seemingly ultra obscure SideKickNick from NZ has quite a way with lo-fi, slightly off kilter noise. It takes a second to get your head around it but it's a definite grower. Also, I have no idea what is going on with the artwork but I hope thats a bellybutton. https://open.spotify.com/track/1mIi10mtrsp0FVjVRy5ZSM?si=uBoPz4m1QkuHGGRqKs2A1g
