I have been playing this one to death ever since it was released earlier today. Purple From Love is just simply a fantastic slice of female fronted shoegaze. It’s quite poppy too and the vocals remind me of so much, … Continue reading Stomp Talk Modstone – Purple From Love
Norwegian band Love Dance have released an astonishing single to kick off Too Good To Be True’s brand new singles club. Titled Parallel Lines it’s an epic indiepop track that entices the listener straight from the off as it twists, … Continue reading Love Dance – Parallel Lines
I am not sure if quirky Norwegian indiepopsters are getting a theme going but hot on the heels of their UFO single comes another, this time about being on the moon. It’s metaphorical of course, describing a relationship going from going nowhere to vibrantly going forward. Or it could be simply about viewing the sun from the moon.

Candace have announced their new album will be released at the end of May 2020. It’s titled Ideal Corners and includes the leading single DM-100 and the second single Still Phase, which has just been released today.

Indonesian label Dismantled have put together a compilation featuring five bands on their roster covering songs by The Wake.

New Wave Of Hype is available digitally from Dismantled on a pay what you want basis or on extremely limited CDR from Heaven Punks. The Wake’s music can be purchased … Continue reading Various Artists – New Wave Of Hype
Fløver is the new project from one, or both, members of Palm Haze and it should come as no surprise that it sounds pretty similar. Noisy guitars that reek of punk rock stand alongside vocals with a bit of attitude which equals a pretty decent alt-rock track. Not bad at all. Continue reading Fløver – Reef
