Building up a strong base since 2019, Manchester's Mister Strange have dropped their new EP 'I', out now via the PNKSLM imprint. The 6-track record is fiery, core garage and punk rock topped with good old fuzz-driven guitar riffs, slippery bass lines, reverb-soaked vocals and an unadulterated dose of energy reminiscent of the 70s glory punk days of New York City but definitely with a modern edge.
Manchester's Francis Lung has unveiled his latest single 'Internet', a rapid follow-up to his latest LP 'Miracle' which landed this past June. A soothing taste of indie pop with a dash of Americana, the track touches on our constant reliance and addiction to modern technology, something that has been problematic for quite a long while.
Oh Baby is the duo consisting of distant cousins Rick Hornby and Jen Devereux. Based between London and Manchester, their sound is inspired by 70s and 80s synth-pop, new wave, disco, German electronica and more, yet blended in an alchemic way, fostering something that is quite distinct and interestingly unique to them.

London/Manchester band Oh Baby are set to release their forthcoming EP 'Hey Genius' on July 23rd via the Burning Witches imprint. Having dropped their cover version of Patrick Cowley's 'I Need Somebody To Love Tonight' last month, the pair now step up with their latest single 'L.I.A.R.'.
London/Manchester pair Oh Baby have shared their new track 'I Need Somebody To Love Tonight'. Drawing inspiration from the 70s disco era, the tune is a glam-driven cover of the late producer Patrick Cowley's track, which was featured on his 1979 LP 'Stars'. Oh Baby's rendition drips with the hedonistic spirit of Studio 54, yet layered with post-punk and industrial trimmings that make for quite the sexy listening experience.
UK band TOKKY HORROR have announced news on their forthcoming debut EP 'I Found The Answers And Now I Want More'. Scheduled to land on May 21st, the EP will get released on Alcopop! Records.
Let's face it, every December the Christmas songs come pouring in, with many of them being just plain cheesy. However, Manchester band PINS have decided to contribute to the Xmas list of tunes by actually doing a cover version of the Ramone's 'Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)', originally taken from their 1989 LP 'Brain Drain'.
Combine punchy alternative, whirling punk, early post-punk and a bit of grunge and what you get is the sound of Manchester's Dead Cherry. Having made their debut a couple months back with the track 'Every Sale Is The Same', the trio have now unveiled their latest EP 'C.R.E.E.P.'. The 3-song release is a roller coaster ride of thundering sonics that teeters between the classicism of early tunes by The Fall to stadium chanting harder rock.
Manchester artist Abbie Ozard has delivered the music video to her single 'TV Kween'. Directed by Charlotte Rudd, the visuals find Ozard transitioning from lounging around a trailer home to putting on a ballerina's dress and a crown, continuing on to dance about and perform around the place.
