After spending five spins around the sun producing ‘happy music for sad people’ the four-piece outfit Adult Leisure are bursting back onto the scene with their jazz-tinged, nostalgia-ridden debut project, ‘The Things You Don’t Know Yet’ . The Bristol alt-rockers are serving up a ten-track run of jangly gems on a well-polished silver plate, garnished with effortlessly cool collaborations with saxophonist John Waugh . It’s an album that oozes with 80s pop influences on standout

Celtic heritage is once again in a renaissance in the industry, with bands such as The Murder Capital and Kneecap , to Fontaines D.C  and CMAT  proving they should be at the forefront of crowds nowadays. Move aside Ireland, Brògeal , an Alternative Folk band from Scotland are here singing shanties to feel-good tunes in their debut album ‘Tuesday Paper Club’.  Fourteen tracks cover the album, starting strong with ‘Tuesday Paper Club’ , a beginning number chiming in with drums,

Ian Curtis, Mark. E. Smith and Joe Strummer walk into a bar. There’s no punchline to that, they just probably sat and wrote Shame’s new album 'Cutthroat' . You can only really imagine it being written in a bar, in a notebook that’s been forgotten since primary school, the cartoon images blurred by sticky beer rings, smudging the longing for drugs and bright lights into the disgust at politicians and estate agents.

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

There is a time in everyone's life when they think about hell, a lot. Maybe you've just got the videos back from a night out, maybe you laughed at a stranger tripping over or maybe, in the case of Bad Self Portraits , it's when you think about what Jesus is doing with his alone time.  The contemplation of this has led, luckily for us, to an Ethel Cain - esque grapple with religion in the form of ' I Think I'm Going To Hell' , the title track off of Bad Self Portraits debut a

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.
