In November, Frank Turner will release a twenty one track rarities compilation focusing on recordings from 2011-2014.
‘The Third Three Years’ follows popular similarly themed comps ‘The First Three Years’ and ‘The Second Three Years’, now available via Xtra Mile Recordings.
The full details – including tracklist – are laid out in the press release below.
In September 2014, AOR legends Winger released a video for the title track of their current album ‘Better Days Comin’. Barely three weeks later, they have another video treat for you, this time for the hard rocker ‘Queen Babylon’, taken from the same long-player.
Rarely content to settle, the sounds on this debut EP from Tel Aviv based avant-garde collective Memory In Plant are almost as surreal as their choice of sleeve art. Their music is spasmodic, electric and occasionally just wilfully difficult. That’s not to say for those of a certain disposition it won’t have entertainment value – in between the jump cuts and experimentation, pieces of great music creep through the cracks – but ‘An Epic Triumph’ is not always the easiest listen.
UK garage blues duo Brockley Forest have two very impressive EPs behind them to date. Their 2014 release ‘Second Nature’ took the raw and distorted blues sound of their debut and presented a tighter musical force.
Taken from ‘Second Nature’, ‘Destroy The Room’ shows off Brockley Forest at their best. A full video clip for the track can be watched below.
On ‘Don’t Be Shy’ – the second release from New York’s Big Huge – the band blends punky sensibilities with a ferocious new wave energy that instantly conjures up images guys decked out skinny ties and sunglasses. Pulling various influences from the end of the seventies, the five songs on the EP throttle past at a speed that’s pretty impressive. Imagine Kurt Baker in a garage band playing after a weekend long amphetamine bender, or the tunes from the long-unreleased album by Texas power poppers True Hearts played at three times the speed and you’ll be halfway towards the band’s core sound.
