New Music: CuT – Let’s Go
Doing it yourself has always been an ethos worth following by Punk bands, and certainly London space-punk quartet CuT have immersed themselves in it. Out on July 28th is their new single, Lets Go, and its certainly an intoxicating blend of Ramones style DIY adrenelin fuelled punk rock, heavy fuzz, and immediately singable pop melodies. …
New Music: Depeche Mode – Little Universe (Boys Noize Remix)
Alex Ridha, aka Boys Noize, has taken the original stripped back production of ‘Little Universe’ (that concentrated more on Dave Gahan’s vocal and simple electronic beats) and turned it into a full on acid house rave. There’s more urgency in the vocal delivery and production, a nice electronic snare drum that all gets whipped up …
New Music: Dressmaker – Glass
Emerging from the London fog in 2013, Dressmaker have built up quite a reputation as a must see live act. Fearsomely loud, unashamedly menacing, their mix of rough cut, raw nerve guitars over waves of delicious feedback is a heady cocktail that will have you wrestling your comparisons between Joy Division, Jesus & Mary Chain, …
Track: Lyke Giants – Let Up
Tasmanian indie-shoegazers Lyke Gia return following the release of their debut album, with a new single, Let Up, out on August 4th. The band has been on an upward curve, gaining blog love from around the world whilst back home performing at The Falls Festival and supporting bands such as British India and Faker. The …
New Music: Boz Boorer “Girl From Atlanta” (featuring Eddie Argos)
Out of a long tradition of slightly tongue-in-cheek, somewhat naive, cockney-geezer ditties that I associate with ‘classics’ like Bill Wyman’s “Je Suis Un Rock Star”, Wreckless Eric’s “Whole Wide World” and even Blur’s “Parklife” comes Morrissey’s current favourite guitarist and co-songwriter Boz Boorman with “Girl from Atlanta”. The major difference is, of course, is that …
Track: Moiré – No Gravity
Out on August 11th via Werkdiscs is the debut album from London based producer Moiré. Describing the title Shelter as ‘the listeners perception and subsequent emotional response to a collection of sounds and motifs, its fair to say that Moiré produces thoughtful and emotive house music, as demonstrated by a first glance at the album …
Track: Screaming Maldini release new single, ‘Solar System’
As June draws to a close Screaming Maldini return once more to bring another offering to our ears and to our hearts. After knowing this band for so long I’m rarely surprised by their endeavours but I’m always impressed; Screaming Maldini strive to create unique and brilliant pop music that everyone can enjoy and it’s …

Track: Titeknots – All Talk / So Natural
The ever-busy Titeknots is back with a new single, All Talk / So Natural, which drops on August 4th via Tru Thoughts. It follows two other singles this year alone, which have drawn admiring glances from the likes of Tensnake to DJ Zinc, and radio support from the likes of Lauren Laverne. All Talk is …
Track: Menace Beach – Tennis Court
It took what on the face of it seemed like a rash move to Leeds made by Ryan Needham and Liza Violet, that kicked things off for Menace Beach. They teamed up with MJ from Hookworms (doesn’t everyone in Leeds these days) a cast of friends including Nestor Matthews (drums) and Natt Spalding on Bass. …
