If you were still unsure about the whole 90’s comeback, Superfood have certainly seen to that. They’re bringing back brit-pop with a bit of a twenty-tens twist, and their latest track ‘Mood Bomb’ is no exception to the rule. The band recently posted the accompanying video for the new single on their Facebook page asking…

Dry the River have released their second album 'Alarms in the Heart' on Transgressive Records, and it's a belter to say the least. The first track from the album to be unveiled, ‘Gethsemane’, uncovers the record's spiritual side: “excavating down you’d find the drowning and the drowned / And then there’s us, babe.” That's pretty deep stuff, eh. Exciting news for…

It's been a huge year so far for the LOTI favourite, and with the release of 'Hazey' coinciding with the start of the band's US tour, it's only set to get even bigger. Hazey is the next track up from album 'Zaba', and we've come to realise that at the best of times it's pretty…

It's a joyous affair that jingles and jangles and we reckon it was probably the music that was playing when you were happily floating around in your mother's womb.…

We’re not really sure what to take from Karen O’s video for new track ‘Rapt’ apart from the fact that she can hold her breath under water for a bloody long time. The short but sweet song comes from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs front woman’s upcoming first solo album ‘Crush Songs’, of which she says was…

You’re in your local having a pint and playing a game of pool when a Sari-clad lady starts some sort of solo Bollywood dance-off in the hall next door, normal. Or at least Superfood seem to think so in their new video for latest track ‘Right on Satellite'. Released on the 28th July, it’s another…

Our favourite lady in folk Marika Hackman has announced her biggest headline tour to date with 15 shows all around the UK. Scheduled for later on this year, she’ll be starting off in Edinburgh and then heading down to Brighton for the finish. To celebrate the good news, Marika has shared a live session video…

We’re not really sure why they’re called Black Bananas or what Powder 8 Eeeeeeeeight means, or if it's really necessary to elongate the word eight, but we know we like it. To celebrate the upcoming release of their second album ‘Electric Brik Wall’, front woman Jennifer Herrema has shared the video for the new track;…
