Gimme Indie

Nearly a year after the release of their impressive debut, Nashville’s Wild Cub is back with a new single, “Blacktide“. Formed originally by the duo of singer/songwriter/guitarist Keegan DeWitt and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock, the band is now a 5-piece, known for their tight, energetic, and electrifying live shows. This is not the kind of music you would expect to hear […]

Even though they are – only – releasing a four track EP, these teenagers from Hampshire, UK already have a good bunch of fans, including myself. Harris McMillan, Frank Wright and Benjamin Gregory will embark on their first proper tour in October, having six UK dates scheduled. They’re currently preparing for a spot at Green Man Festival in Wales, sharing stage […]

Black Mountain-members Joshua Wells’ and Amber Webber’s side project Lightning Dust started as an outlet for their softer musical ambitions which wouldn’t fit into the concept of Black Mountain. The project has already resulted in three albums and the third LP, Fantasy, was just released on Jagjaguwar. On the track Loaded Gun, Webbers’ voice is in focus and from time […]

After floating around the musical stratosphere as a duo since 2011, SURES have revamped their act with two additional members and have some new tunes under their belts to boot! With a forthcoming EP “The Night Hero Waste Time Getting Better” in the works, these Sydney-siders have thrown their fans a tasty morsel in the shape of their new song […]

Aussie band Cloud Control shared another track from the forthcoming album “Dream Cave” last weekend. Their second full-length seems to be influenced by psych-pop and choral structures, as it’s easily identifiable from this brand new single. Starting with a spiral synth pattern, Scar is a clear reference to the 90s indiepop way of composing. In fact, the use of the […]

Austin’s Love Inks release new single, “Solar Diary”. Following up their acclaimed 2011 debut E.S.P., which included the insanely catchy “Blackeye“, Love Inks will return this September with new full-length Generation Club. But first up is lead track “Solar Diary”. The band seems to have progressed subtly from songs like “Skeleton Key” and “Leather Glove”. The atmospheric guitar melodies are dropped to […]

Filled with Caribbean beats and summertime happiness Out of Body Auto-Reply is the debut single from Jr. Sea – a musician with a ‘maximalist’ tag but minimal information. For now we know that he refers to himself as J.R.C. and apart from recording and producing the track himself he had producers Tom Morris and Tarek Musa (Spring King, Eye Emma […]

Los Angeles duo Flaamingos is on the verge of releasing their debut album, and if the first two released cuts are any indication, it’s going to be a good one. It’s hard not to compare them to artists like Joy Division, The Teardrop Explodes, and the Chameleons. In fact they seem to be heavily influenced by the psychedelic/post-punk sounds of […]

Currently just a small amount of national bands catch my attention, Mexican musician Julio Gudiño did it with I Can Chase Dragons! His solo project based in Boston is a mixture of dreamy pop with experimental and electronic elements. Tauro, a probable single of his next LP, appeared in the Arts & Crafts Mexico Youtube channel last week as a […]

Gritty garage rock infused with post-punk musings and fluid melodies. All that and more is encapsulated by three letters. Based in Melbourne, ESC are a new blip on the radar with the launch of their debut and self-titled EP last week. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Nick Hoar, the 5-track EP is an interesting concoction of raw post-punk laced with […]
