Wine Lips: Projector
Toronto psych-punkers Wine Lips get straight to the point on their single Projector , having zero patience with folks who heap their troubles upon them instead of trying to work it out themselves. Drummer Aurora Evans had never sung lead before, but she nailed it, without missing a beat or running out of breath with a don't try this at home performance. Proj

Taxi Girls: Static
Montreal based garage rockers Taxi Girls have kept a positive outlook despite going through heaps of shit in their lives. Their new album Static is filled with both poppy and raw songs, but all of them have two things in common: an infectious melody and a rhythm that can be listened to sitting still. With tracks about nasty hangovers ( Kill Your Darlings ),
The Cyrkle: "Revival" comes to vinyl
To tie with their 60th anniversary as a band The Cyrkle 's comeback album Revival will be released on vinyl via Big Stir Records on July 10th: "Their voices have aged well, but don't try to go for the high notes anymore. Using a lower register enables to weave intricate harmonies that sound instantly recognizable. The Cyrkle still wants you to dance - in fac
Tugboat Captain: Reliance
English baroque-pop band Tugboat Captain sing about having trust issues after a breakup on the lusciously orchestrated single Reliance . A subtle repetitive keyboard part act as the backbone for a safe space for lead singer Sox to bear his soul, who can also count on the 22 singers of the Ctrl P Community Choir to help him out. The anger, doubts and fears ar
Mandrake Handshake: En Vol
photo: Sebastian Garraway London based psych collective Mandrake Handshake 's fascination with being able to fly continues on their new single En Vol , a dreamy trip to the great beyond, with elements of 60s pop and 90s trip-hop working in unison for a successful lift-off. Is it escapistic? Yes? Naive maybe? Sure, but it can't hurt to dream of exploring the
Martyrs: Drowning Days
Welsh synth duo Martyrs have proof that you can feel sad and overcome by grief on a glorious day, even when they are in their favourite city Barcelona. With Drowning Days they are trying to come up for air after being swept on their feet by a tidal wave of emotions. They describe the song themselves as "saddest banger of the summer", which is an accurate des
Westside Cowboy: Pin Up Boys
Mancunian indie quartet Westside Cowboy have been playing in Up Boys at pretty much every show for year-and-a-half, but never got around to recording it properly in the studio. They tried and tried, but it never really gelled. A semi live take should have salvaged it, but even that take on the classic loud-quiet-loud approach stumbled and fell flat on its ba
Diana Ringo: Clowns in America
Film director, pianist and composer, and singer Diana Ringo paints with broad strokes on her new album Clowns in America , a dark wave album, brimming with sarcasm and satire, that would have been a smash in the Weimar Republic, if they had access to electronic wizardry back then. It is a bunch of theatrical, over the top songs, wrapped up tightly in frozen

Taxi Girls: "Midnight Mixtape" video
Taxi Girls have made a video for Midnight Mixtape , a track from their Static album: "Imagine Blondie having a rowdy sleepover with The Hives and The Shirts. Whatever bad things the universe may have in store for them, they are ready to face them head on, armed with the holy trinity of rock 'n' roll instruments. As Lou Reed once wrote: you can't beat guitar,
Efro: Run Too The Sun
Indie musician Efro can't get away from the lo-fi sound of the Athens, GA, underground. Now based in Berlin via Brighton, the new single Run Too The Sun has all the trappings of the surf-tinged slacker rock, heavily leaning on the softer side of vintage garage bands. It is a yearning for the halcyon days that were never real, but it doesn't hurt to daydream
Words about music (843): Paul Weller
The only time I ever really got into rap was back in the early '90s, and bands like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Gang Starr. Musically, they were really interesting. But when hip-hop acts start sampling Sting or Phil Collins, then I just don't get it at all. Paul Weller

photo: Kim Schotanus Between 2022 and 2025 Frysian psych-punk garage Maryscoovy had the opportunity to mess around and play really fucking loud @ Dee Nijverheid in De Westereen, an "anti-squat" building they themselves lovingly referred to as The Rathaus. It was an oasis for creativity and lots of live music. The quartet honed their craft to create a bunch o
Trash Kickers: Way Out, Somehow
Way Out, Somehow is a no frills rock album from Chicago courtesy of Trash Kickers , a quartet peddling the kind of music that scratches the itch to break out the guitar and buying your friends another round of beer. Their message is plain and simple: fall in love, get into some kind of trouble, laugh and cry, but never forget the most important thing: have f

Michael Whittle: Lie To Me So I Will Be Alright
Composer Michael Whittle gets away from his day job writing scores for commercials and movies with the desolate single Lie To Me So I Will Be Alright . Since the 'net connected everything it had also a nasty side-effect. No, not the rampant rise of fake news and providing a platform for people with too much time on their hands "doing their own research". It
