I was devastated, absolutely devastated to hear that atmospheric alt-pop band Trophy Wife , who I've never had the chance to see live, will be disbanding later this summer. Or technically I guess they have already disbanded, since they've already announced their plans that they will be no more. They've told fans that there will be life after the current incarnation, it's just unclear what exact form the band and the music will take in the future. If you live in the UK, however, there is one saving grace: the Oxford [...]

"NYC-born and raised rockers Young Things incorporate vintage rock 'n' roll with a modern indie-rock whimsy. The infectious result has been compared to The Libertines' ferocious hook-filled sound, striking a fine balance between garage-rock fervor and nostalgic psych-pop sophistication.While playing memorable shows across the country, from SXSW to NYC and LA in staples like Mercury Lounge and Viper Room, Young Things' have been working on a release that perfectly encapsulates their rocking fervor. Young Things' new album Hello Love // Goodbye Sexual, was released June 3rd in the UK/Asia and June 4th in the US. It includes production from Lenny Kaye (Patti [...]

By Kenny McMurtrie June 05, 2013 Two of course. Following on from our interview with singer Sam F. Scott yesterday (click here if you missed it) Hugh Sundae of The New Zealand Herald was quick off the mark to point us in the direction of the session the band recorded for the paper's online edition just a few weeks ago. That session, featuring songs from the current Fandango album as well as interviews with Sam F. Scott & [...]

Prog Rock has moved on from its epic, cape wearing days, but it’s essentially most at home in the green and black of the West Midlands. This Wolverhampton-based band play with verve and grace, their particular blend of new prog - rock is peppered with an acoustic edge - taking the crowd from gently bouncing on their toes, to all out dancing. By Helen Armfield

"Murderopolis is perhaps no darker that their previous stuff thematically, but musically it’s a very different beast indeed, moving from folkier leanings to a much more aggressive, fierce approach. There’s a confrontational aspect to it as well, whereas with earlier material the rage of the songs came out in snide bitterness, here it grabs the front of your shirt and snarls in your face". Uniquely fractured Art-Pop which captures the Glasgow band's elaborate rainbow of emotions - With songs entitled 'Valley Of Death' and 'Avalanche Of Lust', you're not going to experience many earthly acoustic rambles [...]

There's this weird position that  Fucked Up  occupy in the monder punk-rock pantheon, with their fans falling somewhere between that of punks who've graduated from entry-level nonsense, and hipsters looking for just a tiny taste of hardcore judos to declare as one of their own. When the band played their own show here in London - co-headlined by Titus Andronicus and supported by Metz - we sent  Ollie Connors  along to see how that middle ground is working out for them. 6 things we learned watching Fucked Up in [...]

Phil Johnston went to see Dragged Into Sunlight, Bossk and local band Sunsmasher at Audio in Glasgow. There was smoke, lots of smoke. Read about his slightly unusual gig experience.

BAYY are a four-piece from Brighton, and this month they have a handful of shows lined-up with the some of our faves, Joanna Gruesome, Birdskulls and Traams,  among others, which gives you a little indication of where their musical heads lie... We were in Brighton a couple of weeks ago and it's bloody lovely in the sunshine isn't it? Well  BAYY bottle those dreamy Summer vibes pretty wonderfully indeed on the three tracks they've dropped so far. Perfectly balanced, there's something eminently loveable about the laid-back guitar grooves that bring splashes of colour [...]
