I can't believe that I haven't added this band earlier, I have been listening to them for ages. King Nun's album Mass is one of those albums that you think you have always had in your life. It's got a weird familiarity to it, it's not like anything else but you just feel it's been... Continue Reading →
Time to listen to a huge dirty bass riff. Now, I don't know if this has anything to do with 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' but I really think that this sums up the feeling of being downtrodden and left alone. Absolutely great powerful slice of Indie Rock that evokes thoughts of (and I... Continue Reading →
For a band that have been around since 2017, there isn't a lot recorded. But the tracks they have recorded make you want MORE. The punk fuelled, energy rock that Gallus put out has made them a bit of a cult in Scotland and from what I have seen/heard, it makes you want to buy... Continue Reading →
It's Sunday, we are all stuck indoors, let's have a bit of noise to shake up the day. Starting slow and building fast, Backseat Vinyl get into things fast with downtrodden lyrics and loud music. I get a Michael Stipe vibe from this track, mixed with a pop-punk musical style, what do you think? https://open.spotify.com/track/2DGgBH4x8Fn1IG63vtJf2o?si=PcY0-exXR8WmQJp6BFtvZA
LIFE give off a 'I Don't Care' vibe, which works for them. This is very reminiscent of Bearsuit or Milburn. The fast burning injection of disinterested cool is over far too quickly. They were/are on tour currently with a new album in the works by the looks of things... https://open.spotify.com/track/0l7rYFOfRnzZt0fGWWxVdH?si=rzwHP16AQ1K1vt9JYQHsdg
First things first, love the John Lydon cover. Secondly, a criminally chantable chorus. Thirdly, listen to it, you won't regret it. https://open.spotify.com/track/3BMbzIpU29b9ZfkVYyAXrn?si=kgLwnuEISdWURpELmfMKOQ
Rocking and a'rolling. Last year (or maybe the one before) I really liked 'Starcrawler'. I have immediately been sent back to the first time I heard 'I love LA'. Blisteringly angsty rock ideal for being trapped at home and confused with the world. https://open.spotify.com/track/3h2AdsxzsoEKeQMEbSUPUr?si=248mfJfGQV2V6C_x5uALkw
Time for a bit of good ol' noisy rock I think. Forget about the news and just nod appreciatively to the wall of sound offered up by HAVVK. The pumping track backing up the thin angsty vocals harking back to beyourownPET is a great way to start yet another working week. https://open.spotify.com/track/1rkO4dglHLhhKag4L2pIfs?si=O3jLtqnqTZOPfwoMIoHFZA
So for the first 'Band of the Week' we have the enigmatic Kills Birds - kind of reminds me of Warpaint before they got a bit too poppy... I'm not going to drone on about their roots in LA or that they started out as a 'secret band', just give them a listen and spread... Continue Reading →
Anger is an energy, if John Lydon is anyone to believe. This song has energy. Kills Birds are one of my new favourite bands, as transient as that statement is. The non-sensical lyrics just add to the overall feeling of hyperactivity. https://open.spotify.com/track/7n4ftOcvES1iE0VzrI71F3?si=iAIeCkdzST-rKguqgY4MwQ
