  • Wake up to … Renegade Brass Band

    Another band that’s brilliant live, Renegade Brass Band are a collection of horn players, well guarded by drums, percussion, scratches and a DJ, all being trusty wingmen to the funkadelic sounds peddled by this collective.

Screaming Maldini, a band wearing all pink (allegedly) and making quite a racket both on record and live (cheapo plug) have just released (a couple of months ago) their…

    The Loud – Harris Shutter Stream – ‘Avida Dollars’

  • Wake up to… Writer

    Writer! A simple name for a not so simple band, these dudes go for the fuzzy, lo-fi side of the musical spectrum. Like a polaroid fading (’cause you left it in a bowl of Dr. Pepper, just for the lols), their sound is very retro but with a positive vibe (and loads of energy). Currently…
