The Mare
The Mare from Stockholm in Sweden is Charley Rivel (vocals / guitar / bass trumpet), Daniel Aronsson (keyboards / bass), Pontus Armini (guitar) and Anders Thorell (drums / vocals) who have been around as an indie-pop band since 2003. Being underground is all well and good and in Sweden, as I have pontificated previously, the more Ice the […]
The Lawsuits
The Lawsuits is a band that has been around since 2007 when Brian Dale Allen Strouse (Guitar/Vocals), Brendan Cunningham (Bass), Vanessa Winters (Vocals), Josh Friedman (Drums) and Noah Skaroff (Banjo / Guitar / Slide and more) from New Hope in the USA got together to form the indie-folk sound with which they have become synonymous. Referencing the vocals and sound would be a little too […]
Bec Sandridge
Bec Sandridge is an Australian solo musician originally from Wollongong in Australia, who wrests from her soul an alternative-folk guitar driven construction. Having performed within a band she elected to stride a path on her own, utilising accompaniment as necessary. I seem to have been writing about female singer-songwriters for a few days now and Bec Sandridge is a pleasure to […]
Pinkunoizu
Pinkunoizu from Copenhagen in Denmark is Jaleh Negari, Jeppe Brix, Andreas Pallisgaard and Jakob Falgren. A loop inside a loop of electronica. Pink Noise somehow seems appropriate… lets go explore… I still recall my first visit to Denmark as we drove in to Åbenrå when I was something like 10, to be faced with a huge billboard of […]
Gabrielle Wortman
Gabrielle Wortman is a singer / songwriter from the USA. Originally raised in Connecticut, subsequently moving to New York and now residing in Los Angeles. The classically trained pianist, who is also a dab hand on guitar – ploughs a line I think can best be summed up as - alternative-pop. Gabrielle Wortman is already developing a […]
Ana Lola Roman
Ana Lola Roman from Brooklyn in New York is Ana Lola Roman and JeanLuc Sinclair breezing around the block with a euro-electronica sound more at home in Berlin. The hidden added value is JeanLuc Sinclair, who takes a back seat to the evocative Ana Lola Roman and here we have a sublime combination, the music is a premier-cru […]

The Morning Clouds
The Morning Clouds from Arvada in the USA comprises Josh Wambeke (Vocal / Guitar), Lanette Walker (Organ / Synths), Matt Schild (Bass), John Fate (Drums) and Spencer Alred (Guitar). There is a story behind how this shoegaze out-fit centred around Wambeke came in to existence, but to centre on that story is to miss a sublime experience. The Morning Clouds perfectly explain […]

Land Lovers from Dublin is a five piece retro indie-pop band made up of - Pádraig Cooney (Guitar / vocal), Ciarán Canavan (Guitar / vocals), Shane Murphy (Bass), Cormac Hughes (Keyboards / vocals) and Brian Lynch (Drums) who started out in 2008 and have recently released their latest LP through the collective Record Label – Popical Island. Blue Velvet- the […]
Woodsman
Woodsman is an experimental indie band from Denver and Brooklyn in the USA. Dylan, Mark, Trevor and Eston utilise two drummers to emphasise their output, which now racks up to five releases. Once again I find my self drawn to an introduction from Banter Media. There is a distinctive sound which emerges form the speakers as the use […]
