Berlin-based post-punk band The Underground Youth have unveiled another single entitled 'I Can't Resist', which leads up to their new album 'Montage Images of Lust & Fear'. The slow-burning track begins with a minimal haunt before kicking into more of an upbeat call and response style chorus with fuller instrumentation helping to pump the BPMs.
Post-punk, electronic duo Collapsing Scenery return with a new track entitled 'Bush Mama Blues'. The song is taken from their forthcoming LP 'Stress Positions', landing this June. Frenzied in sound, the transitions from a chaotic slice of electronica to a beautiful piano-led composition. The single also highlights the group continuous musical melting pot, bridging sounds spanning from late 70s - early 80s new wave to modern techno. You can stream 'Bush Mama Blues' down at the bottom.
Berlin by-way-of NYC producer and musician Curses has teamed up with duo Local Suicide to release new collaborative EP for the UK-based Tusk Wax imprint. Simply dubbing it 'Tusk Wax 28', the 4-track record finds the artists doing what they do best, which is pump out dark and husky disco, hedi EBM, acid and synth wave, all spawned with a post punk sensibility. A complete soundtrack to late hour clubbing in Berlin, the EP follows Tusk Wax's 'Tusk Wax 27', all the while bringing more bite and edge. Stream a preview below.
Brighton's Youth Sector may not have an extensive body of work at the moment, but making their debut last year with the track 'Dig It And Repeat', they surely proved that they are a band who need to be on everyone's radar. Their latest single 'Run' finds the 5-piece upping the ante, delivering an exciting slice of alternative. Racing guitar lines and hard-hitting drumming aid act as the perfect backdrop to the stellar verses and catchy chorus. Youth Sector is a band who we predict will rapidly soar to the top.

Black Futures deliver their explosive new track 'Me.TV'. Joining forces with none other than Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream, the song is an apocalyptic explosion of hard hitting spacey rock & roll that pounds like a blow to the chest. Thunderous drum hits and grinding guitar riffs accompany a heavy bass line that make up the song which is more of a call to action. An absolute powerhouse of a cut, 'Me.TV' is taken from Black Futures' forthcoming LP.
