While some artists fit exclusively into genres, others adopt an audacious approach by making music that’s difficult to categorise by genre. Musicians have been doing this for a long time, but there’s a mesmerising new catalogue of artists today defying music genres in fascinating ways. And what’s not to love about Forrest Runs latest release […]

LA-based singer-songwriter and producer Lyndsi Austin releases her airy new single ‘Closer To Sleep’ with fellow LA producer Nxghtshade. Also known as a vocalist for dirty-beach alt-rock band Tidal Babes, this is Lyndsi’s first original song release which follows her indie cover of Bruce Springsteen’s classic ‘Dancing in the Dark’. ‘Closer To Sleep’ floods your […]

Want to hear instrumentation which is inspired by Trip-Hop and Chillout bands such as Air and Zero 7 over music made for the raves? Amsterdam’s Alternative, Electronic three-piece band Cubicolor has recently dropped a brand new single/and B-side, titled ‘Wake Me Up’ from their highly anticipated, upcoming second album ‘Hardly A Day, Hardly A Night,’ […]

Sometimes there are songs that are louder than books, some others are louder than breaths, some others speak for themselves and the artist who creates them. ‘Me & You Together Song’ by The 1975 is all of the above. With thrilling and enthralling guitar riffs in the background, which are reminiscent of the band’s old […]

I first saw Metz on their first UK tour in Brighton, 2013. It was a cold, wet November evening, and they played in The Haunt to what must have been 20 to 30 people. Still one of the best live shows I’ve ever been to. I got to see them twice after that, once in […]

Flamingods are a four-piece alternative rock band from Bahrain and the UK. Their album ‘Levitation’ was released earlier this year which was met with bountiful press coverage and praise. ‘Levitation’ saw Flamingods expanding on their influences (which are already noticeably eclectic) with nods to Turkish psych, disco, and funk.

The rippling piano underpins the whole track which takes […]

Just Mustard released their debut album ‘Wednesday’ last year to high praise, earning them the support slot on the UK tour for fellow upcoming and Irish group Fontaines D.C. Their music has been described as a combination of trip-hop and shoegaze, with influences from My Bloody Valentine with their shoegazy guitars, and from Massive Attack […]
