Born in Glasgow, but fermented in London, Crooked Teeth’s formative years spent in the two cities has had a huge impact on their music. The jagged and euphoric analogue synths add a retro tinge to an otherwise modern sound, and the band’s latest single ‘Mountain Song’ isn’t any different.
‘Days Of No One’ is as haunting as the title suggests. Every aspect of the song combines to create a sound that is striking. From the slide guitar intro to the drawn-out chords of the organ hanging above the vocals, adding a sense of eeriness to the second verse; the song is a living, breathing …
The energetic indie-punks return with their second album Everything But The Here And Now. The album sees drummer Phoebe Cross taking on more vocal responsibilities; a great move by the band. Both Cross and vocalist Rich Mandell combine well together adding a new dimension to their songs.
Brighton-based Twilight Driving has all the qualities that make a decent indie-pop band. Their latest single ‘Soft & Pink’ tells of the hardships of falling in love. The story comes alive in the lyrics, giving the song a Bruce Springsteen/Brian Fallon feel. Add those powerful vocals to the confident and hook-driven guitars and you’ve got …

Anthemic single ‘I Let Love’ marks the next chapter in this multifaceted singer-songwriter’s career. Hero Fisher (not a stage name) tells stories in a way that puts her alongside leading figures of the craft. Most of all folk singer Jeff Buckley, Patti Smith and PJ Harvey.
Self Portrait is the aptly named debut album from Mr Yolk. The record is songwriter Samuel Jones looking inward, searching his vulnerabilities, humour and views. And the result is a record that is both personal and open.
‘Bittersweet’ is the latest single from Glasgow four-piece The Van T’s. The band comprises of Hannah and Chloe Van Thompson (guitar, vocals), Joanne Forbes (bass) and Shaun Hood (drums). Their unique brand of psychedelic surf rock has found its way onto national radio, while their short career has seen them play shows with Wolf Alice, The Jesus & The Mary Chain and …
‘I Shouldn’t Have Said That’ is the spiky new single from The Lovely Eggs. The song is a reminder that the duo has been in the studio recording their next album, working with Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann.
Normanton Street expertly blend multiple styles from hip-hop, soul, disco and garage to form a natural sound that will be hard to ignore, even for the most loyal rock fans. It’s Been A While sees the band go even further beyond those styles.
