Fusing elements of shoegaze and the more accessible bits of a post rock sound, Norwegian trio Spielbergs make a big impression on their new single.
‘We Are All Going To Die’ harks back to the 90s whilst keeping one foot firmly in the present. Their wall of sound approach can be emotionally draining, yet at the same time, their new music has an intensely rousing quality that fans of shoegaze and associated subgenres shouldn’t miss.

With their new album ‘Autonomy’ just released on February 23rd, indie rockers Table Scraps continue promotion for the new record with a brand new video featuring…sock puppets.
The visuals that accompany ‘I’m a Failure’ – taken from the new LP – come across like a hybrid of MTV’s past with elements of Beavis & Butthead and Liam Lynch’s ‘Sifl & Ollie’ show. Musically, this new offering from Table Scraps is very much in keeping with the visual, since their brand of wantonly fuzzy indie pop retains a very irreverent style.
NME once described Mats Wawa as having “monster riffs”. It’s clear that NME’s idea of monster riffs and actual monster riffs are two different animals.

Are you looking for some good old style 90s jangle and drone to fill your January? Look no further! A new band on the scene, Nova Flares, have just unveiled their debut track with a suitably retro video clip.

So much, that in fact, this period could certainly be seen as a genuine musical landmark. In 1992, Carter USM reached the top spot on the album chart with their third long player, ‘1992: The Love Album’ and The Orb achieved a similarly unlikely feat with ‘UFOrb’ barely two months later, surely to the dismay of the omnipresent Mick Hucknall. The Wonder Stuff were riding high off the back of some great singles and Manic Street Preachers released ‘Generation Terrorists’, a hugely grand double platter of a debut. They’d always said it was to be their only LP; you have to wonder how things would have panned out had the Blackwood boys stuck to their word. In ’93, Carter made a headline appearance at the Glastonbury Festival and upset Michael Eavis, appeared at the Smash Hits Poll Winner’s Party and upset Phillip Schofield and still found time to record a new album. Suede ushered in a new era of Bripop with their debut album and some great singles, Radiohead hit the charts for the first time, while Senser made waves with a crossover mix of rap, rock and electronica.
