The 24 year old from Ascot was beaming from excitement as the Manchester crowd danced and sang along. It’s not oft ..read more

There is something very real and very charming about PLAY DEAD and the voice that leads us through their latest single, ‘Barbershop’. It is a fast paced punk rock track with subtle influences of pop and a rhythm that sounds like my heartbeat after two espressos. ‘Barbershop’ is their return, a song about getting a bad haircut and never having the guts to say anything to the barber. I can actually exactly remember the last time I was in such a situation… The song is a wistful tale by singer Joe Blair who has repeatedly experienced the above described scenario, “he wore a hat once for two straig ..read more

Brighton-based alternative rock outfit Dog of Man recently released their new single’ Hello MI5!’, it is the first single of their upcoming album. The single was written in the midst of peak paranoia and is a tongue-in-cheek “shoutout to internet surveillance and conspiracy theory mania.” Their fizzy, eccentric electro rock sound is passionate and filthy, filled with angular guitar riffs and ambient, melodic compositions that bring their all-over-the-place punk rock alive! Wild and unique, peculiar and refreshing, all of those influences and words mixed together are what make Dog of Man, somet ..read more

Their lyrics can be taken literally, an ..read more

Thrilling, anthemic and sounding like we are completely losing our minds, it’s Louis And The Shakes‘ latest and punchy single ‘Losing My Mind’, and it sounds like a mantra for the crazy ones. Their undeniable energy and punk rock-inspired sound is hard not to move along to and ‘Losing My Mind’ acts like a shot of caffeine in the form of sound.

It’s something refreshing and something different, The Hara are what I listened to when I was a teenager, but ..read more

All I needed was some loud and angry punk-rock and Melissandre’s Beaver dumped it on my plate and added a lovely and weird video to it. The awesome trio from Dover’s interests are pizza, computer games, music and beer according to their Facebook-page. Being weird and unique is exactly what seems to work for them. With their new uptempo and upbeat track they gave the listeners what they’ve been craving for the past couple of months. Music consumption seems to have shifted from happy indie pop to angry punk rock and it is a trend Melissandre’s Beaver happily took advantage of. ‘Brother’ is about ..read more
