Fangclub have dropped a new single, ‘Out Of My Head’, their second release since their last album, Vulture Culture. Steven King (vocals) comments, “‘Out Of My Head’ is a big fun ego-death song.

The new track sees Fangclub bringing back their music with all their might, displaying their ..read more

Idles have released a new music video for ‘POP POP POP’ from their latest album, TANGK. “It’s a song about the beauty of having a kid and understanding how lucky you are to have a kid. And there’s a sense of a cycle when you have a child, when you’ve lost a parent and a child. I have a huge sense of gratitude and weight behind being a parent because of what I’ve lost. I’m not saying I’m a better parent, or more connected because of that. But for me, I’m more connected than I would have been, I think, because of what I’ve lost. I’ve learned a sense of just joy from seeing her joy. And I think ..read more
