Deaf – Truancy

Tom

More dark post-punk this time from New Zealand’s Deaf who, after a bit of digging, I found to be made up of former members of Sunken Sea and Tiddabades who remain unheard of by me. Truancy is an amazing debut song made distinctive by the unique vocals of Luke Kavanagh. Fleeting synths and toned guitars add to the mix giving the track a haunting atmospheric feel. A keeper and a taster for the debut EP that is due out later this year. Maybe those previous bands will not be unheard of for much longer! Facebook Continue reading Deaf – Truancy

Something For The Weekend – Three from Forthcoming Debut Albums

Tom

This weeks pack of three features three tracks from forthcoming debut albums. The Beths – Future Me Hates Me The title track from the forthcoming debut album from New Zealand band The Beths. It’s a fine slice of alt rock that will embed itself into your head due to it’s bounce. The album is out on August via Carpark Records – pre-order it from here. Facebook Young Scum – Wasting Time Superior jangle pop from Young Scum and a prelude to their debut, yet again self titled, album. Wasting Time, like 2016’s Zona, is pure pop perfection. It’s out on … Continue reading Something For The Weekend – Three from Forthcoming Debut Albums

Soma Cake – Hopes and Fears

Tom

Hopes and Fears is taken from Soma Cake’s recently released Girls Bite Harder album. It’s a guitar driven post punk track which, despite it’s melancholy lyrics, has a catchy melodic feel about it. Now I am off to grab the aforementioned album hoping that they can maintain the standard this single has set. Both the single and album can be downloaded digitally from here.

London based promoter and label Damnably are promoting an excellent gig featuring their artists at London’s Scala on Thursday 19th April. I am there with bells on.

Otoboke Beaver – anata watashi daita ato yome no meshi Japan’s Otoboke Beaver are headlining and anata watashi daita ato yome no meshi is their latest single (Feb 18).

Fawns of Love – Zine Days

Tom

I quite enjoy the Gothic tinged post-punk produced by the Fawns of Love. They mix Jenny Andreotti’s excellent vocals, that draw comparisons with those of the Cocteau’s Elizabeth Fraser, with a guitar based sound reminiscent of Joy Division/early New Order to great effect. Flip side Something Stupid is my pick of the two tracks here sounding like it was lifted straight from Garlands. Zine Days is available on 7″ and digital formats which you can order from here. The band even created a playlist of all the songs that inspired them whilst writing Zine Days. Amazingly the Cocteau Twins are … Continue reading Fawns of Love – Zine Days

Second Still – Opening

Tom

Opening is taken from the forthcoming Equals EP by LA based Second Still. Given they take their name from a song by Modern Eon it should come as no surprise that they have a strong, distinctive and, in the case of Opening, an epic post-punk sound. It’s available on vinyl and digital formats via Weyrd Son Records. It’s also being released as a limited edition cassette by Sentimental Records in April. You can pre-order it here. Given both labels are based in Brussels it further strengthens that post-punk link…. Facebook Continue reading Second Still – Opening
