Unless you've been completely off-the-grid for the last week or so, the story about Mumford & Sons having to cancel their Bonnaroo headlining spot last minute and Jack Johnson getting the proverbial call to the bullpen to step in last minute is old news by now. The mellow-grooving singer-songwriter was en route to Manchester for a sit-in with his longtime friends ALO, where he planned to to preview some material from his upcoming studio album From Here To Now To You , when fest organizers reached out asking if he would [...]

Ralph prefers unsigned indie bands but his man in Scotland, Malcolm Parry was heading to Public Service Broadcasting 's recent gig in Edinburgh which co-incides with their debut album release 'Inform - Educate - Entertain so he's relaxed the rules a bit to bring you a review of the night. Public Service Broadcasting are J.Willgoose and his wing-man Wrigglesworth so it's chocks away Malc! [...]

For those of you who've been waiting on this one you probably already know that it's been pushed back a few days. That may have been done so the track could go up with this Allied Force Press mixtape compilation Earwax Ziptape III. So there's that; I just caught wind of it - you'll have to let me know how that goes. Mainly speaking on gold sweats favorite, fifty racks. Fifty tells me that Mt. Moon is probably just a loosie like Lex Talionis , [...]

Another week, another great B-Town act to introduce to you guys in CAVES . Their recent single “Sleep” perfectly combine a shoegaze aesthetic with a 90’s alt-rock leaning attitude. A hazy engagement that gives us angst-ridden kids something to dream about. Don’t excuse these guys as lazy blokes though, as there is some serious talent on display here. Unlike most other Birmingham acts, we actually have decidedly manly vocals for once. This band share the same sentiments as myself when it comes to to beaches. Fuck them.

Some bands like to tweet. Others prefer a Facebook post. Some will even take it as far as Instagram. But Australian quartet CLOUD CONTROL have updated their fans of their long-overdue Australian headline show by creating this stunning video, informing us of their upcoming performance for this years Vivid Sydney Festival! As we know, the band have been living in the UK for some time now. Very recently, they announced the recording process of their forthcoming sophomore record (which you can read more about HERE ) [...]
Caves are from Birmingham and took their name after being inspired by a book of one of their nans about caves and sea monsters, which matched their take on hazy grunge pop with bursts of distorted guitar perfectly. Similarities to Nirvana are no accident, but one flavour of ice cream is obviously not enough for this duo and so Caves also seek inspiration from Deerhunter, Beach Boys or more recently also Slowdive and Joy Division for their slacker tinged grunge pop. This is Gold Beach [...]
Before I saw her live, I had fallen for Tristen's 2011 album Charlatans at the Garden Gate for its earnest storytelling and melodic twang that showed the 29-year old Nashville transplant had strong songwriting chops. But when I witnessed her singing in person - heard her thoroughly impressive voice emerge from her tiny frame as [...]

Time is short at Stark HQ in these early hours, but we would be completely remiss to not highlight the new music and kickstarter campaign from our longtime friend and songwriter extraordinaire Tristen . We're pretty sure that if you're reading this post you already know who Tristen is, love her, have seen her live, and know how talented she is. Tristen has been honing these new songs (and in all likelihood has another record ready, she's that prolific) for a few years now in the studio and on the road - but needs her fans' help [...]
