See: Sundrones release video for Kill me Baby
Rock’n’roll has some great stories to accompany the people behind the music. Sundrones are about to add to that list with the tale of Joshua Moran who spent his childhood years as a troubled youth growing up in a children’s shelter. Where, he picked up a guitar and learned to play. Upon leaving the shelter he …
See: Terminal Gods release video for Road of the law
Under the cover of darkness, Terminal Gods make their escape. Leaving behind their usual, familiar haunts – the sleazy back alleys and late night rum joints of the London underground – the Gods hit the road in a stolen Viva, high tail it outta town and bring us the video for ‘Road Of The Law’… Now …
See: PVRIS Release Video For Holy
Boston based alt-rock trio have reunited with Raul Gonzo, who directed their recent video for White Noise, to put together this solely black and white and eerily artistic video for Holy. “‘Holy is one of the most personal and honest songs on the record,” PVRIS lead singer Lynn Gunn told Billboard.com “Lyrically, it’s pretty self-explanatory once you listen.” This video is both fantastically …
New music: First Aid Kit “Master Pretender”
First Aid Kit make music which sounds like it belongs in the latest cool indie film of the moment. All bouncy backing, soaring strings and vocals which are both endearingly plaintive and beautifully whimsical. Against the somewhat overpopulated marketplace of pop folk, First Aid Kit manage to stand out for a number of reasons: firstly, they …
See: The Wave Pictures announce UK Tour / Pea Green Boat Video
Here’s an apology. We tried and tried so hard to bring The Wave Pictures to Sheffield for the viewing and aural pleasure of the music loving masses of the Steel City in one of our Backseat Mafia presents evenings, but (and this is for the second time) the dates just didn’t work out. So, sorry. …
Video of the Day: Until the Bird – Nightingales
I’m sure it was shot in the autumn, but it’ll do. Brighten up your Winter morning with the (faux) Spring light and the arboreal fecundity of “Nightingales”. You can enjoy strong, ardent vocals, virtuoso folk musicianship, the sun rippling over bark, and a lovely moment where the camera takes a dip (in the Thames ?). …
Video of the day: In The Valley Below: Stand Up
It’s a spot of horror to start your weekend. The video for new single “Stand Up” by LA duo In The Valley Below splices footage with the feel of Friday the 13th, Paranormal Activity, Seven, Fringe, and True Blood, and the melodramatic air brings to mind something of Dario Argento’s slashers. Backed with stabbed, shrill …
Video of the Day: Little Death Machine – Velvet Skin
In early September we brought you the smack-in-the-face first single from London’s Little Death Machine. Following on from the attention-grabbing simplicity of the “Hit Me” light show comes “Velvet Skin” a disturbing black and white horror story. Our music-makers Daniel and Clare are blindfolded and bound, kept prisoner in a sparsely-furnished flat in a dilapidated …
See: FKA twigs releases new video for Water Me
Before this gets dark, I wanted to share a BUG-like moment with you, courtesy of this comment from Nacirema on youtube: “I keep coming back to this song… Her serene voice laid atop Björk-esque production makes my auditory cortex so warm.” On this, her second EP release (“EP2”), FKA Twigs has teamed up with producer …
