Listen: Dead Man’s Chest stream new 7″
At the time of this two track release, it’s almost been a decade since Dead Man’s Chest released their first full length album ‘Hateline’.

Video Nasties visit The Hanging Tree on new single

Listen: Digging For Apples share stream of new single before release
A self-proclaimed feel-good indie rock band from Manchester, Digging For Apples will release a new single on 5th March. The new track, ‘Oblivious’, finds the band applying their guitar driven sound to an arrangement with a very retro and almost soulful edge.
The track’s melodic guitar parts bring to mind elements of the ‘Southern Harmony’ era Black Crowes, but once the track hits its stride, there’s no mistaking the band’s origins as the song also draws a few parallels with the late sixties grooves that filled The Charlatans’ self titled album from 1995.
