Listen to ‘Seven Years’, the new single from The Yada Yada Yadas

Posted on by

In April 2018, UK indie band The Yada Yada Yadas made underground waves with their second single ‘Woke Up Strange’.  [Listen here]

The Steve Lamacq championed band have a few shows coming up over the next six weeks and they’ll also be promoting yet another single, ‘Seven Years’.  The track has already been referred to as “nostalgic” and just one listen should tell you why.  The three minute nugget is loaded with a world of guitar jangle that almost instantly transports the listener back to the mid 90s.  It could be part of the soundtrack to your summer!   Take a listen below…

SUN VOYAGER – Seismic Vibes

Posted on by

For those who’ve not been paying attention, fuzz rock troupe Sun Voyager have been lurking on the Brooklyn underground scene since 2012. After a few enjoyable EPs, ‘Seismic Vibes’ – their first full length LP – really capitalises on their previous musical ideas, presenting a world of haze and stoner based riffs with not only more confidence but also a better production value than they’ve ever had.

Boss Keloid are a scary bunch. They’re one part art rock, two parts progressive metal, three parts sludge and seven parts obsessed with ‘Zodiac’ era Melvins. On their 2018 LP ‘Melted On The Inch’ they use those influences and their many quirks to challenge, frustrate and eventually entertain. Providing your mood is right – and this is the very definition of a mood record – it can lead to a fascinating trip.

ALLFATHER – Bless The Earth With Fire

Posted on by

Formed in 2014, Allfather came together over a shared interest of “vikings, anti-fascism and crisps”. It’s good to know the band have a sense of humour, because their 2016 release ‘Bless The Earth With Fire’ is not one to be taken lightly. Its six songs – if, indeed, they can be called songs, rather than an extended collection of devastating riffs – are heavy, dense and sludgy in equal measure. In short, if you’re a total riff junkie and value the weight and presence of a riff over almost everything else, you’ve come to the right place.
