Birmingham's YOUTH MAN have been shaking things up around the Midlands for a few years, dropping their 'Bad Weather' EP back in 2013. Freshly signed to Alcopop! Records, the energetic punk band are now working on a new EP which is coming down the pipeline this year. YOUTH MAN have also shared a new track titled 'I Don't Know', which will be featured on the forthcoming record. Sinister and raw in sound, fuzz-drilling guitar riffs and thundering drumming run parallel to Kyila Whyte's in your face vocal delivery.
Belgian trio Teen Creeps will release their debut album 'Birthmarks' on April 6th via PIAS. One of the songs featured on the upcoming LP is their power punk-driven cut 'Sidenote', which the group have created a video for. What you have hear is a guy frantically dancing and lip-syncing to the cut. We're quite certain that this only took one take, but never the less, the song itself is quite rocking.
WRONG Festival are extremely pleased to announce the full line up for the unmissable second-year outing of the vital oddball rock music festival. Set to take place on the 28th of April 2018 at Liverpool Docklands, they’ll be shining a spotlight on talent from both the burgeoning local, and UK-wide, Freakscene.
Joining the already-announced 2018 headliners, cult Cardiff rock band FUTURE OF THE LEFT (feat. members of Mclusky and Million Dead), organisers are pleased to reveal that MUGSTAR will be performing alongside DAMO SUZUKI as his backing band for the evening.
Two weeks ago Brooklyn-based duo Russian Baths shared their hard-hitting cut 'Slenderman'. Without wasting anytime, the pair have now unveiled another single titled 'What's Your Basement'. Setting off the song with that good old distortion, the group proceed with fire flying guitar streaks, rocketing into a fury of noise rock that hits like a shock to the system.
Hailing from Calgary is the exciting duo Miesha & The Spanksw, who are definitely delivering a high dose of garage rock the way it should be executed. Having worked with drummer and producer Danny Farrant of The Buzzcocks on their 'Stranger' EP back in 2016, the Canadian outfit are set to release their forthcoming album 'Girls Girls Girls' this year. One of the songs taken from the new record is their hard rocking track 'Atmosphere'. Raw to the core, flaring guitar riffs, coinciding with power drumming is the backbone to pop-style stadium chanting hooks and early stage love lyrics.
Who would have knew that Spain-based band Hinds were into football? Well, whether they are or not, the foursome have taken to the field in their latest video 'New For You'. Now if you're expecting to see plays on the level of Lionel Messi, then you might be quickly disappointed, however, if you want to see the girls having a great time then look no further. The video is directed by Carlotta Cosials, with the song taken from Hinds' forthcoming album 'I Don't Run'.
Hailing from Upstate NY, Candy Ambulance are a trio delivering grunge and punk at its most raw and firing. Having released their track 'Weekday' back in October of last year, the group now unveil their latest track 'Spray', the second single taken from their forthcoming EP boasting the same title. Like a revving race car on the track ready for take-off, 'Spray' is a musically rapid-speed illustration of the topic of mania. It will surely fill you with unadulterated energy.
Brooklyn band QWAM have released their new EP 'Feed Me'. Comprised of five cuts orchestrated during late night NYC excursions, high-octane rhythms sound off like sirens in the distance as singer Felicia Lobo's 'tell it like it is' delivery is aided by rapid fire guitars, thunderous drumming and interestingly enough, sing-along choruses. Incorporating the sound of classic NYC punk, this is a soundtrack to those gritty nights in a dark venue where the music is loud and being who you are is nothing short of celebrated.
Los Angeles band Sextile have shared their new single 'Current Affair', which features actress Sienna Scarritt. Politically driven, the track deals with the modern state of America as racing post-punk production fuels a sense of dire urgency to step up and make a change. Challenging the role of media in the process, this is the sound of protest in its most potent form. 'Current Affair' is taken from Sextile's latest LP 'Albeit Living', which is out now via Felte.
Girlsville Records will release their benefit compilation 'Our Voltage' on March 1st. With the proceeds being donated to the legal aid for anti-racist activists as well as the Haymaker project, one of the songs featured on the LP is Mr. Airplane Man's 'Believe'. A psych-punk-blues rock gem, the lo-fi cut rocks with fiery guitar riffs and punchy drums that is raw and organic.
