Tom Baker & The Snakes set to “Make It Hurt”

Posted on by

Back in February 2016, Tom Baker & The Snakes dropped their debut EP, giving listeners a short burst of high-octane rock driven by three guitars.   It’s hard not to at least half-love a band with three guitarists, right?!

They’re back – and this time they’re set to stun with a full length release.  On the basis of a couple of sneak previews, the album promises more of the same, but as the old saying goes “you can’t fix what ain’t broke”.   If you can’t wait until ‘Lookout Tower’ is released digitally via Rum Bar Records on March 31st, then check out lead track ‘Make It Hurt’ via the stream below. If you crave a trashy rock hit that takes its cues from Tommy Stinson’s Bash & Pop, you surely won’t be disappointed!

Towards the end of 2016, Death Metal Pope invited you to their ‘Harvest’.  That EP presented some superb doom grooves and showed the future to be wide open for the Long Island metal band.  As part of the promotion for the EP, they’ve made a new video for ‘From The Dust Returned’, which you can watch in full below.  The clip shows why the EP was one of the best from last year and should open the door for those who missed the release first time around.

Listen to a new track from Tokyo Tea Room

Posted on by

In 2016, Kent based psych/dreampop band Tokyo Tea Room made underground waves with their live shows and debut cassette.  Drawing influence from lots of early 90s artists, their sound showed great promise, with vocalist Beth Plumb’s angelic vocal style in sharp contrast to the drone of the guitar lines.  In a handful of tracks, the band set themselves up as one to watch – a rival to Ireland’s Elastic Sleep for dreampop/shoegaze goodness.

At the beginning of 2017, a new track began to circulate.  This, too, very much cements TTR’s place as bright lights on an underground scene.  You can hear ‘World’s Away’ in full via the Soundcloud link provided below.   [Watch the video clip for ‘Sleep’ here.]
