It feels like an eternity since we listened to Suburban Radio’s ‘Step Out’ EP and picked out the acoustic rendition ‘We All Deserve To Be Free’ as being the most intriguing moment, offering “a stripped tease” of something much bigger. It also feels like too long a time since we first got a glimpse of how the track would turn out live. Now, finally, Suburban Radio have come back with ‘…To Be Free’ in a full band format, and have […]

Cymbals Eat Guitars are a band that have won my heart over multiple times. From their recent track ‘Chamber’ to their amazing humour (if you don’t get the 90’s gag, you’re probably too young), Cymbals Eat Guitars keep finding new ways to win me over. And new track ‘Warning’ is no different. ‘Warning’ establishes Cymbals Eat Guitars as one of the most exciting new acts of recent times. It’s the sound of what would happen if you pumped Death Cab […]

Cue the alarm bells. Bohica are a band that describe themselves as ’emo’. As we’ve said before, we’re immediately skeptical of bands that apply such a tag to themselves – not least because even superstars of the emo movement (ah, the good(?) old days of last decade where angst was in and rumours of wrist-slitting apocalypse worshippers were all the rage) didn’t brand themselves as such. And, as with Coasts, we sit here chomping down on our own feet as […]

It’s happening. It’s finally, finally happening. The Bots are set to release their debut album, ‘Pink Palms’, on October 13. Any long term follower of us will know that we’ve been big fans of the band for a long time, so we’re pretty happy with this news! To get us all back in the mood for some post-punk mayhem, the brothers Lei have dropped their first track from the album. ‘All I Really Want’ is a little bit different to anything […]

There are some times where all the right ingredients are present and the mix is right, but the final product isn’t everything you hoped it would be. The Hertz Complex debut EP ‘A New Habit’ fits this description: combining elements of Post-Punk, The Pixies, Editors and the alt-rock scene in general, this EP should be pretty good. And while it’s not a completely fruitless listen, the EP doesn’t do justice to a band who have enjoyed as much success as The Hertz […]

Post-punk duo The Bots take things a little gentler with ‘No One Knows’, and the artsy video reflects this. Embracing a more folk-rock acoustic sound, this song’s hypnotic shuffle will get right into your head and stay there for days. Personally, I think the sound of this song suits the band well. It’s a sweet departure from their usual and it’s executed perfectly. Combine the song with a nice video slightly reminiscent of Coldplay’s ‘The Scientist’ and you’re onto a […]

Nothing riles me up like reading a band describe themselves as ’emo’. For me, ’emo’ is a branding given by closeminded music critics in the mid-noughties to post-punk/softcore-hardcore bands that were slightly too punk to be pop-punk. So when I see a band describe themselves as ’emo’, I see red. I gave Coasts a chance in spite of this, with their track ‘Oceans’. And I was so pleasantly surprised that I became annoyed at myself for jumping to conclusions. ‘Oceans’ is […]
