Well, what better way to break the silence than with some genuine excitement? Last year saw Outfit turn the entire credible music press into fans with just one single, and so everything that they subsequently put out was always going to be meticulously ripped apart and analysed for every clue that they might be satisfying the hype that's been put before them. To be completely honest, even though "Two Islands" was one of the most breathtaking, eclectically brilliant songs I heard all year, I was slightly worried we'd all set expectations too high for such a new band [...]

Irish born producer, Sertone who now resides in Liverpool put this gem out a little while back in tribute to the late great J Dilla. with four tracks of dopeness all inspired by the man in question, Sertone brings some lovely atmospheric creations which also showcase his own musical style quite heavily. So go cop the download via the bandcamp banner above. Though this is a name your price download I urge you to donate what you can as the proceeds all go to the J Dilla Foundation a more than worthy cause for people to contribute to. Peace and [...]

French/ English indie five-piece The Lanskies dub their sound-a mixture of Brit-Pop, post-punk and new wave influences-"Hot Wave", and while we can't help but find their enthusiasm in branding their music with this made-up genre tag questionable, there is no question in how much we're digging their new single "Romeo". The first taste, and title track, of their North American debut EP , "Romeo" serves a jubilant blast of early-MTV-era jangle with Liverpool-born frontman Lewis Evans yelping his heart out, urging for a halt to "all the violence and fighting" and throwing shade to [...]

An EP called At Last? No shit, Picture Book . We have been waiting for these guys to get a release up together FOREVER. We think there's been a bit of a delay on the release because vocalist Greta has been off warbling on a Deadmau5 tune and getting Grammy nominations (excuses, excuses). Anyway, it was worth the wait, as lead track 'Sunshine' proves: Picture Book 'Sunshine': Why this is a self-release when it's clearly such a hit-in-waiting is anyone's guess, [...]

Bird are one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from Liverpool in recent years, this is not merely our opinion, we can back it up with Dr. Brian Cox style science using Euler-Lagrange field equations, but nobody would understand so just take our word for it, Ok ? We've often bemoaned the fact that Liverpool has, over certain periods of time been littered with lamentable sub-Beatles wannabes giving the local music scene all the sparkle of a bedraggled, faded piece of tinsel languishing on the bare branches of a long since dead Christmas tree. Respect your musical heritage [...]
