• Wake up to Great Deeds

    Buzzzzz! That’s the sound of Great Deeds chopping down the joshua tree. Woop woop is the sound of the (da!) police, chasing them away for cutting down a U2 sanctioned landmark. While they are on the run from the fuzz, here’s their brand new video, ‘Bulb’. The band will be releasing their new EP Disastrochimp soon,…

  • The Jonathan Arellano Project – El Viajero

  • Singles Review : Firesuite, Cats:For:Peru, Niña, Ellen and the Escapades, Death Rays of Ardilla, City Reign, Guards

    Greetings, readers! You still there? I’m watching a documentary on Metal and when they got to the interview with Ronnie James Dio, I lost it. Fuck, he was a legend. From the moment he saved Black Sabbath from the Ozzy-shaped hole to his cameo in The Pick of Destiny, he was always rad! This week’s…

  • Wake up to Iliketrains

    We were warned. Since last May, I Like Trains predicted this rainageddon 2012 (TM) and the clues have been everywhere in their water-related music and their dapper attire and personality. This lovely track is called ‘Mnemosyne’ and their new EP Beacons is released October 15th, with a tour attached to spread the good gospel. Tour Dates Sat 13th, City Museum,…

  • Singles reviewed: Soundgarden, Mega Aquarians, Mark Eitzel, Chris Helme, Watchers, Silver, Autumn Owls

    Greetings, readers! I’ve got reflux. It isn’t fun. It’s like using hydrochloric acid for mouthwash. Do you know how painful that is? It’s like that time I was in Tijuana with my Uncle Joe and we met a couple of delincuentes malandros who sold us this high quality mezcal (it had three worms instead of one). Turns…

  • Wake up to Death Rays of Ardilla

    Death Rays of Ardilla is a band we have been waiting to release something for far too long, their new 10″ is out soon (you can preorder from Rough Records) and without further ado, here’s the psychedelic track ‘Diamonds’. While you wait for your order, you can always check an interview we did ages ago…

  • Stream: The White Album

    Those Danish folksters, The White Album, are playing today at The Lexington. If you wanna know how the new songs from Conquistador go, check this here handy stream: However, if you are not going to the gig ‘cuz you’re in another city (or stuck in a puddle in a hill in Sheffield like me), you can visit the band at…

  • Botín MP3 – 1

    Hey up! Here’s a few MP3s we’ve received for you, lovely people, feel free to nick away! DJ Shadow & Irn Mnky – ‘I Gotta Rokk’ – Kudos if you recognise the samples! I’m pretty sure ‘Voodoo people’ and ‘Robot rock’ are there. Check out the scratch skill! Heart of Hearts – ‘Unbound’ – The breezy folk…

  • Wake up to Wickerbird

    Wow. This is just brilliant. Dark, gloomy folk for these uncertain times (rainy, uncertain times). Wickerbird have been garnering some rather excellent comments from everyone and their aunts (or uncles if they don’t have aunts…). Here’s the stunning track ‘The Fold’. Wickerbird Bandcamp. Facebook.
