We Are Freeways

We Are Freeways We Are Freeways' album We Are Freeways describe themselves as a '"living room", low fidelity, indie band', and if their meaning is lost on you, it's because you haven't heard the songs yet. In short what being a '"living room", low fidelity, indie band' means, is that you produce the songs yourself, in your living room and they are beautifully composed laid back treats, each and every one. Crystal Dennise Flores and Joshua Sanchez The band, hailing from Denton, Texas, have mastered the art of easy listening, but manage to fill each track with their own distinctive sound. Falling somewhere between a band...

White Noise Box

White Noise Box White Noise Box liveWhite Noise Box are quite distinctively from Manchester, their music, lyrics and melodies ooze that rich Manchester sound. The four piece form a very tight knit indie-pop group with explosive and energetic sounds. The band rattle off gripping guitar riffs that drive their songs from something mediocre to something brilliant. It’s the deceptively simple guitar that makes this band great. Check out "Black Cider" to see what I mean. Pushing and unrelenting guitar is a staple of Manchester music and it’s one of the things that separate the scene from the rest of the country. White Noise Box seem to have...

Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue (and the Pirates)Peggy Sue at the beach Peggy Sue, formally Peggy Sue and the Pirates, and for this one E.P Peggy Sue and the Pictures, is back with a brand new album. And it kicks ass. Peggy Sue didn’t have the easiest start in her musical career, forming in 2006, being signed in 2008 but not having an album released until 2010. In that time she was constantly touring, supporting well know acts (including Kate Nash, Mumford & Sons and The Maccabees) and playing many, many sessions for BBC 6 music and Channel 4. I can’t help but think that the industry has been a little bit hard on ol’ Peggy Sue, songs like New Song and Rockabilly...

A Foreign Sky

A Foreign Sky Hailing from California, A Foreign Sky create melodic and ambient Post-Hardcore. The four-piece mix traditional Pop-Rock vocal and guitars with unearthly sounds, haunting keyboard and soothing melodies. The band was originally composed of two high school friends, who grew up on a steady diet of early 2000’s Post-Hardcore bands like Glassjaw and Circa Survive, and later grew in size to four members when the duo went to college.A Foreign Sky live One of the more remarkable things about the band is that they do all the recording themselves: ‘Mark and I worked pretty closely mixing and recording them ourselves because between us we...

The Young Knives

The Young Knives The Young Knives serving you milk.The Young Knives own brand of whimsical Indie-Rock has been delighting listeners since early 2006 with their first single The Decision, and continued to make awesome tracks until late 2008 when the band took a break. Well now they are back, and better than ever. Their latest single Vision In Rags is fantastic and brings us back to that strange Young Knives sound that we all love. The song flourishes both in structure and lyrically. The youngest member of The Young Knives, Thomas “House of Lords” Dartnall is 34, meaning the whole band are pretty old for such a young man's game, but in many ways...

Forgotten Voice

Forgotten VoiceForgotten Voice live Spanish Rock band “Forgotten Voice” promise high energy and emotionally charged songs, and it's a promise that the band deliver on. One of the nicest things about the band is that they are overwhelmingly positive, describing themselves as "a hard working and musically confident four-piece band that shots through with optimism everyday. Their songs capture the abandoned purpose and pure feelings of this crazy society." The bandMost of the bands songs deal with subjects like making the world a better place, hope and happiness. It’s refreshing to see a band being so positive and trying to improve the world...

The Lovely Eggs

The Lovely EggsThe Lovely Eggs enjoying watermelon. The Lovely Eggs are a conundrum. By all rights I shouldn’t like The Lovely Eggs, the songs are strange and esoteric, the vocals are far from traditional and they all over have a punky garage band feel to them, but there in lies the mystery, because I fucking love The Lovely Eggs. If you don’t like the lovely eggs, then I hate to tell you, your inner child is dead. The Lovely Eggs started making their captivatingly strange music in 2006, and released their first album “If You Were Fruit” in 2009 along with 4 singles that received lots of air time and great reviews from revered radio DJs Huw...

The Galleons

The GalleonsThe Galleons looking cold. Although only forming in 2010, Brighton band The Galleons have been enjoying much success with their laid-back, traditional, British folk, getting plenty of radio play and being booked at many festivals. The Galleons hail from all over the place: Bedford, London, Lincoln, The Isle of Wight and Latvia, giving them plenty of influences that permeate into their music.  The way the band describe their own music “traditional British folk music, sounds of the 60’s folk revival, modern merchants of gloom such as Low and Radiohead and the occasional Latvian farming song” gives but a taste of the vivid...

ContaineR

ContaineRContainRI'm not very good at knowing what to say about electronic music or remixes, but what I do know is that I have taken quite a liking to Italian musicians ContainR. ContaineR officially started in 2007, but the journey taken for the two members, Alessio Magneta and Luca Sammartin, started seven years earlier in 2000. The pair started producing tunes separately, burning the tracks to CDs and giving them to each other for birthday gifts.  It wasn’t until many years later that the two of them finally worked together and produced the track "Nargo Sprout Goes Nuked". The 7 years that the two of them put in practicing before they...

Iwan Rheon

Iwan RheonThis is probably how you picture him. Iwan Rheon, better known as the shy, invisible one from Channel 4’s Misfits, has released an E.P., and if you are thinking that he is just another actor trying to sing, then you are dead wrong. Although the E.P., called Tongue Tied,  is only 4 tracks long it shows incredible talent and versatility, with each song holding on to a slightly different feeling. Some songs have a funky, fun edge while others take on a darkly romantic slant. Tongue Tied shows more originality in 4 tracks than most bands can muster up on an album. Iwan being much more handsome. Tongue Tied really displays Iwan’s...
