Parisian Youth Culture’s indie-rock sound has reached a new level on ‘Basement’, their latest track and second single release. It’s a slice of catchy guitar-led music done right, delivered as an unlikely anthem that you WILL be singing by the end. Like Simon Neil fronting Two Door Cinema Club, this song has the makings of an indie hit with its aggressive-edged chorus vocals and smooth rhythm sections. It combines the hallmark elements of indie rock, but brings in enough of […]

Let Summer begin with ‘Madrid’, the latest track from Polarsets and the lead from their debut album ‘Parasols’. It’s some breezy tropical indie-pop that melts into your ears with some bright guitars and sweet bass grooves. Sounding like Alex Trimble if he caught himself in his zipper, the vocals are near-falsetto and lovely. They perfectly compliment the treble-focused instrumentation, sounding like angelic hamsters floating off in a cascading wave of indie goodness. And since it’s summer, there is no better way […]

Prepare yourself for a feel-good indie dance off – Elephants And Castles are about to release their debut single ‘Fashanu’, and it’s a bright and breezy sounding story of suicide. What else? With lyrics addressing the life (and subsequent death) of Justin Fashanu, the UK’s first £Million black and openly gay professional footballer, we’re relieved from the pressures of morbidity with a cheery tune running underneath. You know, Indie 101 as established in the 80’s: a song can be as morbid […]

We’ve all done it. We’ve all stopped and wondered what it would sound like if Alex Trimble had a manlier voice. How different would Two Door Cinema Club’s sound be? The Slow Reader’s Club answer this question, and the answer is “not very different really”. Ahead of the release of their new single in September, the band have re-released ‘Start Again’. And it’s still a great bit of feel-good indie-electro. A powerful bass groove lies at the heart of this […]

Moral Panics are a fantastic indie-rock band with a sound that will brighten up an dull day (which is just as well, because the band are based in the grey reaches of Stoke-on-Trent). And what’s more, their sound is undeniably infectious and easy to love. ‘WLVS’ is the latest EP from Moral Panics and it’s definitely a step in the right direction to getting noticed. It’s full of indie-rock textures that are woven with treble-rich guitar tones and punchy drums, with a […]
