Track: Morly – And Sooner Than We Know It…
On August 14th, In Defence of My Muse the debut EP from Morly (aka Katy Morley) drops via Cascine.

Track: Fever the ghost- Vervain dreams of an old wooden cage
It’s usually the 3rd or 4th album where a band decides to expand their sound and throw the kitchen sink at a record, but LA’s Fever The Ghost are choosing to up their game early on. Trying to prove that you can never have too many instruments in a 4 minute pop song is Varvain …
Track: Department M – Bleak Technique
Initially the project of Leeds’ Owen Brinley, Department M has developed into a growing concern, a full live band in fact that includes Tommy Davidson from Pulled Apart By Horses.

Track: AFX – Serge fenix Rendered 2, plus new EP details

Called Orphaned Deejay Selek (2006-2008). Its out via …

New Music: La Priest – Lorry Park and album news
Riding high on the Nu-rave wave were Late of the pier. Their chaotic ‘Zarcop demo’ and debut long player ‘Fantasy Black Channel’ showcased some of the quirkiest and chaotic music heard in years. A second album looked imminent with the release of a further two singles. Fans waited, but nothing ever materialised. Frontman Sam Dust …
Track: Stalgia – Rust
Its difficult to impart information on a band that there is so little information abut as Stalgia. At the same time, it means you come at it from a completely open perspective, because there’s no prejudices because of place, time, history or anything else. Even on the press release that floated into Backseat Mafia towers, …
Track: Coldabank releases debut single, ‘Heart Strings’
