With all the bleeps, synths and wobbly bass lines dominating new music these days, it’s refreshing to come across a new band who stick to the good old fashioned alt rock approach. London-based band The Divers cite the likes of Pearl Jam, Wilco, Bush and Band Of Horses as influences – so you wont be…
Just in time to put herself into contention for everyone’s ‘Sounds of 2013’ lists, hotly tipped London singer 2forJoy (Ruth Ivo to her friends) has released her first single ‘Michaela’ – along with a suitably atmospheric video, directed by Annick Wolfers. Check out ‘Michaela’ below and let me know what you think in the comments…
East London indie-poppers Waylayers are fast making a name for themselves, thanks to their wide-eyed pop sensibilities and ear for very catchy riffs.

Here’s their second double-A side release ‘Cloud Appreciation’ / ‘Sea Ice’, which is out on 10 December through Psychic Healing…

Psych-rock seems to be everywhere at the minute – or maybe I just keep getting drawn towards it. Either way, new Kent-based band White Bone Rattle seem to be pretty good at it. Their debut album Creature Of Curiosity is full of melodic, scuzzy, groovy and harmonious psychedelic rock – all of which is perfectly…
Got a cool new band to share with you today – The Mouth Of Ghosts. Unfortunately I’m not allowed to post ‘When The Sun Sets’, their debut single on Red Dragon Records (sort it out!), but I have got this taster video for you to check out: The full single is out on 29 october…
Some cool new music for you to get your ears around today from the rather excellent Dartford songstress Lillian Todd-Jones. Lillian is currently working with famed songsmith Gordon Mills Jr, who has previously helped out the likes of Ed Sheeran and Newton Faulkner. Of this working relationship, Lillian says: “it has been an amazing experience working…
One of my favourite new bands, FOLKS, are gearing up for the release of their debut album I See Cathedrals with the release of the video for next single ‘Say Something’. Watch it below: I See Cathedrals is out on 1 October with ‘Say Something’, the follow-up to debut single ‘Skull And Bones’, coming out…
Being from Leicester, I always like to keep an eye out for cool new bands from around these parts. So it was great to stumble upon new electro-indie Leicester band I Am In Love recently – whose new single ‘Palm’ is pretty amazing. Check it out here: It’s like early Depeche Mode with a bit…
