Si Cranstoun
Si Cranstoun is a Rock ‘n’ Roll performer based in London in England. Hit play and you are immediately transported to Twisted Wheel in Manchester and labels like Chess with Tony Clarke, But were this just retro- then it would have little currency other than a good cabaret act, enough reminiscing about Northern Soul. This is also firmly time-switched to […]

WAZU
WAZU based in New York in the USA is Matt (Vocals/ Guitars / production) and Rizz (Vocals/ synths / sound design) who deliver 2012 new wave.

Crushing Blows – The People You Will Never Meet – video

Glass Vaults is the ambient electronics duo of Richard Larsen and Rowan Pierce from Wellington in New Zealand.

Over the intervening couple of years the material […]

An interview with Maybe The Welders
Maybe The Welders from Brooklyn in the USA took time time out for an interview with Indie Bands Blog whilst sipping cups of tea and suffering from some dodgy Thai food (so the claim goes) the night before, prior to heading out to shoot some video material in a local bar – that story sounds […]
OverTime – This is Me – Video Only
Missoula in the USA may well seem an out of the way location to find rap. As Tyler Bugatti of OverTime says – OverTime didn’t come from any hood. He didn’t rep any sets, and he’s never conformed to anybody to blend in. Hailing from Missoula, MT, rapping was the last thing he ever thought he’d […]
