The latest sampler features a mix of both post-punk and indie/alternative (this sounds like a 1990s compilation advert) tracks featuring a number of tracks released over this Bandcamp Friday weekend. As ever enjoy. Here is the Playlist: or listen on … Continue reading A Sampler of Two Halves

The new single from Cold Cave is a cover of Absolute Body Control‘s Waving Hands. It stays faithful to the original although sounding darker and denser. Get it from here whilst the original version is available here. Warsaw Pact have released an album of demos called, erm Demos (2016-2109). The release includes two previously unheard demos in the shape of Made by Design & Discshop Inquisition. Maybe it’s one for the fans who are familiar with the originals but given it’s available on a pay what you want basis it’s also a good introduction to the band. Midnight Cure always … Continue reading Post-Punk Sunday

As ever get it from Bandcamp. Facebook Continue reading Forever Grey – Lost in a Moment
Another track from the prolific Forever Grey. Luckily it’s not a case of quantity over quality.

And here is a live recording of Sourland taken from their September Ice EP. Facebook Continue reading Forever Grey – The Red Hall

On their previous releases Forever Grey reminded me of Joy Division and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. Here they manage to sound like everyone but no one else at the same time! I especially like the male/female vocals up against the sombre music and I could listen to this type of music everyday. All their releases are available on a pay what you want basis. … Continue reading Forever Grey – Telling The Daffodils
