Additionally, the band has debuted a new single, ‘Sour,’ inviting listeners to immerse themselves in their evolving musical narrative. “Sour was written during a session after I was feeling extremely burnt out.

LiVES, also known as Peter Chisholm, returns with his latest single, ‘Come Together #2,’ serving as the lead track from his forthcoming album, ‘Let Them Eat Cake.’ With an impressive background as the singer and guitarist of the cult UK rock duo The Sea, LiVES brings a wealth of experience and talent to his solo endeavour. ‘Come Together #2’ is a collaboration with James Morrison, born out of a casual studio session where the two artists crafted a song that encapsulates the feeling of panic and disenfranchisement with the world, while also expressing a yearning to pull oneself out of the darkn ..read more

English singer-songwriter, Holly Humberstone graced Philadelphia’s sold out TLA last night. The 24 year old preformed songs from her new EP, “Work In Progress”, as well as her earliest songs. It is fair to say that fans would easily throw themselves into the Deep End for Humberstone, since her Gravity is just too strong. “God knows I’ve missed this feeling” may just be a lyric, but we all know how much Philly missed Holly Humberstone. Support for the evening came from the wonderful Los Angeles-based Carol Ades. She opened the show with songs about falling in (and out) of love with Brits, and d ..read more

There is an organic and wild piano riff that careers throughout the new single ‘the last one’ from Naarm/Melbourne band Fan Girl that is a chaotic thread intertwining with the thundering guitars and the sardonic delivery of singer Noah Harris. The overall package has a whiff of a Hammer horror soundtrack with a slightly unnerving carnival edge. This is a very pulse-quickening release from Fan Girl that immediately sparks attention for its post punk swagger and attitude, like a merger between Muse, the Pixies and a runaway freight train. The band says of the track: ‘the last one’ was written on ..read more

Tel Aviv based, global grooving combo Sandman Project are spot-on calling their new album (due June 7th via the irrepressible Batov Records) ‘Where Did You Go?’ It’s been six years since they whipped up the outer-national dance floors and airwaves with their ethio-jazz meets Habibi funk mega-EP ‘Royal Family’. DJ Kobayashi, Gideon Coe, Laurent Garnier and more heaped on the praise but then came a lengthy pause from leader/composer/guitarist Tal Sandman and her group. Of course time doesn’t ever stand still both within and around the musicians world. Those experiences, transitions, travels and ..read more
