On their new work Nosher The Lemons have abandoned the mix of twee and the 1960’s inspired garage/surf sound their previous songs were known for. Nosher mixes experimental electronica (the vocals sound like early Devo) alongside side grunge and the … Continue reading The Lemons – Nosher
bdrmm – Gush bdrmm have released the best track, well my favourite, from their recent album Bedroom as a single. Jangling guitars and atmospheric electronica create a track with a haunting melody with vocals to match. It’s one of those … Continue reading The Bank Holiday Sunday Sixpack
Swedish band Spunsugar have lifted a second single from their forthcoming debut album Drive-Through Chapel. Titled Run it’s a pulsating track that sounds like a cross between Curve and Swervedriver. An instant indie dancefloor (socially distanced of course) classic! Drive-Through … Continue reading Spunsugar – Run
Apart from knowing that they come from Chicago, I don’t know anything else about Corolla. Well, aside from that they know how to make a decent indie tune or two that is. The two songs on this, their second release … Continue reading Corolla – Forget This Song

The new single from Tokyo’s Letters To Annika is a dazzling, joyous indie/alternative pop track. The feel-good effect is tempered though by cautionary words as the song reaches its course. The guitars on this one sparkle like the artwork and the retro effects on the video work well too. I only ever had one summer crush and happy to say it’s was as good as this song. Those warning words were damn true mind! Facebook Continue reading Letters To Annika – Summercrush
Barnsley based Weedipus will be releasing their debut EP Demo Tape sometime between August and September. They have recently released the second single to be lifted from the EP in the shape of Broken Boy. It’s an energetic song drawing in influences from garage, fuzzy indiepop, alt-rock and to a lesser extent drone because of the constant vibrating sound which accompanies words about a “golden boy” whose chickens are coming home to roost.
