The Nectars
The Nectars is a new-wave band from Sydney in Australia with the line-up of Mark Harding (Bass), Oli Davies (Guitar), Digby Nield (Drums) and James Dunlop (Vocal, Guitar). When I first hit play I was swept back to the new wave scene of the early ’80s with a sound resonating of the likes of Squeeze and The Members and how […]
Nehedar
Nehedar is an alt-pop singer songwriter from New York in the USA. Bringing together a range on instruments across tracks Nehedar injects a sound that gathers influences from across the world. Instrumentally the sounds are very much about setting a backdrop to the lyrical content and on the surface the aural context is glossy, but […]
Antarte
Antarte from Agrigento in Italy is the experimental shoegaze trio of Lillo Morreale (vocals/ guitar), Paolo Vita (guitar) and Gabriele Castelli (drums) Mixing in a psychedelic flavour to shoegaze, Antarte is able to inject a new dimension of ambient sound that has become synonymous with Scandinavian wilderness and deliver something that is an absolute fascination. I often take a listen […]

Gaoler’s Daughter are in the run up to a Single and LP release. In advance of the single set for the 12th August they have release a video for Cordelia which is taken from the forthcoming debut LP.

BRUCE!
BRUCE! is a heavy metal band from Tarrawanna in Australia comprising Michael Curley (Vocals / Guitar), Mick Brady (Vocals / Guitar), Luke Armstrong ( Vocals/ Bass) and Elwyn Brindle-Jones (Vocals / Drums). Rippling with influences straight from the early days of fellow countrymen – AC/DC – so much so I had expected to see the trademark Angus shorts and it is […]
3PM
3PM is an indie-pop band from Owings Mills in the USA comprising Brandon Millman (Drums), Brennan Stark (Bass / Vocals) and Scott Montgomery (Guitar). Taking the tinny noises of west coast indie-pop and adding a twist of interest is something 3PM do well. There is a purposeful sense of direction which is rattled along by a percussion which […]
East-Ra
East-Ra is the solo project of Dino Santaleza who hails from Labin, a small village in Croatia located in the Istra region. Many thanks to Robbie who took the time from his schedule to write this review. After being lucky enough to speak to Dino it became clear that Istra has a rich history of song […]
Reveries
Reveries is the alt-indie quintet of Gabriel Petterson (lead guitar), Alice Axinder (vocals), Noa Åkesson (vocals/guitar), Konrad Annerud (drums) and Martin Gabrielson (bass) from Linköping in Sweden. This is the second band I have reviewed from the 104 000 strong city of Linköping and I look forward to being able to introduce everyone in due course… Unmistakably Scandinavian the music floats across […]
