See: Everything Everything launches Low Four
Low Four is a new online music platform, studio, streaming live performance, and event space at Manchester’s fabled Old Granada studios. The acoustically impressive space, first built in 1956, had only been renovated once before in 1979. The studios hosted the historic television debuts of artists as wide ranging as the Beatles, Gene Vincent, and the …
See: Wesley Fuller releases new video for Runaway Renee
If you liked Melvista, Wesley Fuller’s singalong, clap along indie rock belter, then it’s not going to take much for you to fall for follow up Runaway Renee, taken from his forthcoming debut EP, due out on the 1965 imprint. Fuller himself explains the ideas behind the song as “The song came about one hot, …
Not Forgotten: Fuzzy Duck
Sometimes curiosity can get the best of most of us. From the gloriously weird cover art, to the band’s name being a spoonerism, there’s enough here to indicate that there’s something just a bit offbeat going on with Fuzzy Duck’s debut album. Add to this the fact that a bit of research reveals that it …
See: DBFC release video for Autonomic
New from the Anglo-French electro-pop “club” DBFC (“DBFC is not a band, it’s a club” is part of their manifesto), is the video for new single “Autonomic”. Library footage of vintage electronics, sports, and medical instructional videos timed to a driving beat. Think 808 State soundtracking Fantastic Voyage, 2001 and Open University all at the …
INTERVIEW: Reckless Love @ Camden Rocks Festival
With over 200 bands playing Camden Rocks, it was quite the task to grab interviews in all the madness. We managed to pin down Reckless Love in the yard behind the venue they were playing in, the Electric Ballroom, to have a quick chat about living life as though we’re still in the 80s! BM: …
Track: The Orange Kyte – Inside Out n’ Upside Down
Vancouver’s Stevie Moonboots is on a freak-out mission, via his project The Orange Kyte.

Meet: Outblinker Interview
Outblinker make this rather fantastic heavy synth, motorik style krautRock, as evidenced by their recent, and rather brilliant Remains of Arthur Peck EP, which has shades of Fuck Buttons, along with a little splash of Godspeed! In there for good measure. We spoke to Chris and Luigi from the band to find out a little …
Album Review: William Tyler : Modern Country
William Tyler doesn’t make music as much as he paints aural landscapes. There’s a vast space within his records as a solo musician. The former Lambchop guitarist -over the course of three studio LPs- has created a musical world of dusty fields, endless horizons, and open roads that seem to never end. On his newest …
See: God Damn release video for new track, Ghost
Black Country rockers God Damn are back following their rollocking Vultures album from last year, and no prizes for guessing they’re as noisy and pulsating as they ever were. Ghost veers between the singalong and a (very heavy) punk record, at least in attitude. It ebbs and flows, either totally deep or completely franetic, but …
