Aside from having recorded amazing music with the Welsh band Yr Ods, Griff Lynch has continued to create cultural bridges, performing songs in his native language, reeling listeners into the utterly magnificent offerings from the beautiful Wales land. Musically gliding between everything ranging from indie to electronica, it would do injustice to try to pin Griff Lynch down to any one specific box. However, his flawless tying between sometimes not so happy themes with contrasting, vibrant rhythms is a part of the listening wonder.
Algiers' second album 'The Underside Of Power' have been quite the talk of 2017. Continuing to address issues such as police brutality, political corruption and more, the band have now brought forth the video for the powerful track 'Cleveland'. Filmed in New York City , clips of the Black Panther Party are weaved in between frantic, high contrast images of singer Franklin James Fisher performing the song in the streets of Brooklyn and Staten Island, the places of the police killings of Eric Garner and Akai Gurley. The video is directed by Algiers, along with Marisa Gesualdi and Sam Campbell. Have a look.
NYC band Ice Balloons are consistently dubbed as a super group. To an extent that may be true but the group are first and foremost friends who have come together to create art with absolute freedom and room to explore. Consisting of Sean Kennerly of Samiam, TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone, Sean Powell of Fuckemos, Midnight Masses’ Giselle Reiber, B.A. Miale, Rob Bryn of Wild Yaks and Dan Scinta, their music is a collage of riotous punk, New York no wave, garage rock and noise all rolled up into one event of a listen. To call it energetic would be an understatement and in terms of their stage show, well let’s just say that it is probably one of the liveliest performances one could see…ever! Wilder than wild, the ‘common fly’ charges about on stage singing vocals and at some point in the show there may even be sparks popping and flying about on his body.

Having flown the flag for NYC rock & roll for 12 years now, The Baby Shakes released their third studio album 'Turn It Up' earlier this month. Fusing the sounds of classic punk and garage with a notch of power pop, the group have unveiled the title track taken from the LP. Keeping it stripped and raw with the meat and potatoes of punk, the tune is perfect for a day time drive with the top down.
