Got a cool bit of post-punk for you all to check out today, from new London three-piece MYSTYRYS – who seem to specialise in the dirty and rhythmic side of post punk (think early Horrors). Here’s their second double-A side release ‘Cloud Appreciation’ / ‘Sea Ice’, which is out on 10 December through Psychic Healing…
When I first covered London electro-duo Avec Sans back in July, I suggested they sounded a bit like Ladytron – and their new single ‘The Answer’ does nothing to change that view. Thankfully, Ladytron’s brand of thumping electro-clash is awesome, and Avec Sans seem to have enough charisma about them to still sound different and…
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…

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…
Sparse, off-kilter, atmospheric pop – everyone’s making it at the minute. A lot of it, as usual when something gets a bit popular, is pretty rubbish and derivative, but there’s also some gems to be found in this burgeoning scene. Oxford’s Glass Animals are definitely one to put in the ‘gems’ section – but don’t…
Got some top new music for you today from new Bristol-based band Tidal Wars, who specialise in discordant Joy Division-esque lushness. Listen to their new double-A side single ‘Veils / Earning’ here: Tidal Wars are releasing ‘Veils/Earning’ on a USB stick on 3 September through Howling Owl Records – who also look after recent New…
Remember the good old days of Britpop when the music world was full of five-piece bands from the North, swaggering around with their Mod hair-do’s and flicking cigarette butts everywhere? If you do, then Sheffield band Kartica will seem very familiar to you. Whether you like them or not pretty much depends on whether you…
