Bedroom Eyes – Trondheim Harbor

Tom

Back 10-12 years ago Sweden was a hotbed of guitar based indiepop drawing it’s inspiration from the 1980’s UK indie era. One of the bands who stood out for me was Bedroom Eyes especially their 2006 EP Embrace In Stereo and it’s standout track Motorcycle Daydream. Things move on and I lost track of the band presuming they joined the large number of short lived bands who rode that particular crest on a wave. The other day I was just delving into the net when I came across the brand new single from the one and the same. Taken from … Continue reading Bedroom Eyes – Trondheim Harbor

Something For The Weekend? – Three from WIAIWYA

Tom

This week’s pack of three focuses on three forthcoming release on London’s Where It’s At Is Where You Are label. Birdie – Bowling Green First up is Bowling Green which is taken from the new single from cult band Birdie who consist of Debsey Wykes (Dolly Mixture) and Paul Kelly (East Village). It’s a gentle, soothing affair perfectly weighted for an indiepop chill-out album (out now on K-Tel – okay I made that up) The 7″ was part of the labels Singles Club and has sold out. You can still get in digitally from here. Facebook Spearmint – The Music … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? – Three from WIAIWYA

Battery Point – A Memory For Today

Tom

Sarah Records revivalists Battery Point deliver another fine EP that in part pays homage to the aforementioned label. Another Year and Time are on the melodic side of dreampop/shoegaze rather than the harsh version practised by Secret Shine – see they are not paying that much homage! That does come however with their cover of Another Sunny Day’s You Should All Be Murdered which covers this classic track with a layer of jangling guitars but sadly fails to create the beauty of the original. It’s not a bad effort mind! Facebook Continue reading Battery Point – A Memory For Today

Grrrl Gang – Dream Grrrl

Tom

Grrrl Gang follow up their appearance on the recent Strawberry Punks compilation with a new track. It’s their best yet as they throw off the shackles of their influences, expanding their sound to great effect and the addition of male vocals works a treat. Whilst it could remind you of  any number of tracks it still retains originality packed with the right amount of excitement.   Another stunning indiepop track from Indonesia. It’s a free download from Kolibri Rekords but it’s worth a few bob at least. Instagram Continue reading Grrrl Gang – Dream Grrrl
