Home Counties  want you to dance with discomfort.Their new album, ‘Humdrum’ , is full of twitchy, body-shaking songs about the world-weary disillusion of Britain’s young. And who can blame them? It’s an absolute shitshow out there. Powerless in the face of increasing social division, media gaslighting and persistent government fuck-upery, Home Counties , like many, have concluded that you might as well be dancing, if only to feel something other than dread.   Photo Credit: Lu

The melancholic rage of Larlin’s  latest release ‘Limbo’ further   enhances their presence on the music scene. This powerful single portrays the frustration of vulnerability and heartbreak embodied within a hard-hitting bittersweet rock anthem.

Reform are on the rise, people's dad's are painting roundabouts and our our public sectors are struggling.

Bulgarian Cartrader’s  single ‘Toothpicks’  is a dynamic, layered track from his latest album ‘Greetings from Soulgaria’ . After a long-awaited return, the album dropped on the 10 th  of October and is a whimsical medley that defines Bulgarian Cartrader’s  bold new chapter. Tracks like the electronic slow-builder 'Meditations' and the muted, groove-laden 'Palace Gates' showcase their range and knack for a rounded production, yet 'Toothpicks' is undeniably our favourite.
