Matthew Healy gets very emotional in the The 1975 video 'Somebody Else'. Seriously, the poor chap not only breaks down crying in a cafe over an ex being with someone other than him, but he also gets drunk and performs on a stage at a bar. That would be before kindly getting beat up in outside of the establishment. He then proceeds to pick himself and trek down to a local strip club where he barely enjoys a lap dance and has sex with a stripper in his car. Now the twist to this adventure is that most of the occurrences are all in his head.
Comprised of Matthew Board and Lucy Fawcett, South Devon band Matthew and Me spawn a …

Maarten Devoldere aka Warhaus brings forth his new single 'I'm Not Him'. The steamy, cinematic
piece of alternative would probably be the music of a seductive scene in a movie, as it drips with a the utmost of dark cool. The track is taken from Warhaus' debut album 'We Fucked A Flame Into Being', out September 2nd.
Touching on the new record, in a press statement Warhaus wrote:
"I'm at the end of my twenties now. With this record I close an important period," avers Devoldere. “It’s an ode to love, to its excesses and elusiveness. Though love songs are a form of advertising: you portray a woman and the listener should fall in love with her too."
When Glasgow band The Van T's first shared their alt/punk-thrilling song 'Laguna Babe', it was evident that this foursome had a sound that knocked the wind right out of you. It also proved that since their 2013 self-titled EP, their sound had rapidly grown. After dropping their 'Laguna Babe' EP in November of 2015, the group did a follow-up with the song '35mm' and now this heavy alternative cut 'Blood Orange'. Taken from their forthcoming EP 'A Coming of Age', the tune shows that The Van T's are constantly evolving with the production fuller and richer. We're excited about the new recording. Listen to 'Blood Orange' down below.
Jenny Hval has always been one to walk her own beat creatively. With a new album on the way entitled 'Blood Bitch', the Norwegian artist taps into a sort of 70s horror aesthetic with her latest video 'Female Vampire'. What appears to be a sort of ritual in which Hval and a group of women put their faces together whilst covered in sticky film, the vid was shot entirely on an iPhone.
