NEW MUSIC: ‘Song for Leila’ by Only Sun
Fresh from our energetic, uplifting show at The Finsbury last night which included a confetti cannon and silly string, High Wycombe five-piece Only Sun have just dropped ‘Song for Leila’ – the fifth of twelve monthly releases.
5 For Friday – 27.04.18 – Twilight Driving
Cut from the same cake of upbeat, pulse-racing indie-rock bands similar to the likes of Clean Cut Kid and Natives, Twilight Driving are a name that you will certainly be hearing more of and deservedly so. We just can’t get enough of these guys, their belt out choruses and pitch-perfect live shows. The Brighton quartet …
NEW MUSIC: ‘Sweat’ by SAHARAS
Woah, this is one hell of a high-intensity, sweaty banger from Windsor-based alt-rock quartet SAHARAS. ‘Sweat’ features nostalgic, impressive guitar-driven sounds and synths which certainly pull no punches and give an impressive account of how original and epic these guys sound. Listen with caution, the guitar intro will be stuck in your head for a while.
5 For Friday – 20.04.18 – Blushes
Quite arguably the finest thing to come out of Aylesbury of all time – experimental, eccentric and exciting indie quartet Blushes have kindly shared with us their 5 For Friday picks this week.

They are quite simply the epitome of modern day …
LIVE REVIEW: Boy Pablo & SPINN @ Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen
Boy Pablo headlined with support from likeable Liverpudlians SPINN, who may draw immediate comparisons with their hometown counterparts The Night Café, but these guys still have their very own distinctive sound and endearingly confident stage persona.
LIVE REVIEW: Eliza and the Bear @ O2 Academy Islington
Eliza and the Bear took all the plaudits at their hometown London show on their short headline I’d Rather Go To Hell tour, on the sixth occasion that my ears had been blessed to hear the London/Essex quartet of friends, who originally began casually making music together many years ago just for the fun of …
NEW MUSIC: ‘Come With Me’ by Katharsis
North London-based singer-songwriter Katharsis may just prove to a name to keep a eye out for this year, if the soloist’s debut single ‘Come With Me’ is anything to go by. With vocals reminiscent of Meadowlark’s Kate McGill and a delicately layered electro infusion which draws comparisons to the likes of Amber Bain of The Japanese …
