IT’S the latest brilliantly wonky full-covers project from Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd and the boys, whose new heady fwend is budding Canada-via-Yorkshire songsmith Nell, in the company of whom they’ve taken on the catalogue of no lesser a god of the darker side than Nick Cave himself.

Video: Bambara – Stay Cruel
We absolutely love Bambara‘s new album ‘Stray’ – calling it the most satisfying pulse-quickening pure rock’n’roll you could wish for, and said of the song ‘Stay Cruel’ that its alluring siren song backing served to highlight the darkness below the surface. Melodic and foreboding. Bambara have released a new video to the song following sell …

Track: Jack Ladder and the Dreamlanders – White Flag plus album and tour news
For the uninitiated, Jack Ladder (real name Tim Rogers) could be described as Sydney’s answer to Melbourne cool, epitomised by Nick Cave and Rowland S. Howard. Along with his band the Dreamlanders (consisting of various moonlighting indie rock luminaries) he has performed internationally, making appearances in London, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles and shared …
