THE REAL GONE SINGLES BAR #173

Posted on by

This visit to the Real Gone Singles Bar sees the return of a cult band from the US, throws a spotlight onto a couple of superb indie pop bands and celebrates a pair of very different singer-songwriters. The eight picks represent just the tiniest fraction of submissions for the past fortnight, which should give some indication of how much new music is being shared as we head into autumn – traditionally one of the year’s busiest periods. We can promise a lot more good stuff to be unearthed from the current batch over the next fortnight, but in the meantime, we hope this selection fills your ears with something enjoyable…

This time around at the Singles Bar, we bring you a couple of familiar names, but a whole world of brand new sounds from artists making their first appearance here, and in the case of a punk act, a plug for their very first studio recording! Among the eight picks, you’ll find an inspired cover tune, some great indie pop with a rootsier edge, and even an up and coming Irish act who appear to be in a bad mood… As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!

If you enjoy this, or have enjoyed anything else at Real Gone recently, please consider buying us a coffee at the following link. The cost of every cuppa goes towards our escalating running costs and will help us stay online for another year, Thanks x

THE REAL GONE SINGLES BAR #159

Over the past week or two, the amount of submissions for the Singles Bar column has gone through the roof! That’s made it harder than usual to pick the highlights. Regular visitors to the SB will certainly recognise a couple of names this time around as we explore some of the recent offerings from a variety of genres, but That doesn’t mean the selection is predictable. By jumping between power pop, post rock, Irish music, and even something that’s in almost an ambient mood, our choices really highlight some great sounds filling the underground as we head into the summer. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!

THE REAL GONE SINGLES BAR #129

Welcome back to the Real Gone Singles Bar, the place where we explore some of the more interesting individual tracks that have landed in our inbox over the previous couple of weeks. This selection is potentially amazing, with a track that blends a soul vibe with light psych, a very strong alt-pop number, a genre defying piece from an up and coming singer songwriter, a synth based slice of dream pop – and more besides. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy.

We’re currently trying to get the funds together to cover our hosting bills!
