Southampton goth punks, Creeper, released their 2nd album ‘Sex, Death & The Infinite Void’ this week. It takes everything you loved about the first album and turns it up. Today, they release the video for the latest single ‘Poisoned Heart’ and you can watch it below. The band will also be hitting the road for […]

We came across this beautiful EP at the weekend and have to share it with you. Signed to Secretly Canadian, Le Ren is singer-songwriter, Lauren Spear, from Montreal. ‘Morning & Melancholia‘ is a beautiful folk and bluegrass-tinged collection of songs. Emotional and heart rending, the vocals and lyrics draw you in instantly. You can watch […]

It has been 5 years since soulful singer/songwriter, Lianne La Havas, was engaged in a close race for the Number 1 album with indie heroes The Maccabees. Her 2nd LP, ‘Blood’, was pipped to the post and ended up at #2. It’s been a while but she’s finally back with her 3rd album. This self-titled […]
Continue ReadingALBUM OF THE WEEK: HAIM – ‘WOMEN IN MUSIC PT. III’ (26th June 2020)
There are excellent records from Jessie Ware, Nadine Shah and Pottery out this week which are all worthy of ‘album of the week’. The third album from Los Angeles-based sisters, Haim, is perhaps the most surprising album of the week. Their chart-topping debut ‘Days Are Gone’ and its follow-up ‘Something To Tell You’ were both […]
Continue ReadingALBUM OF THE WEEK: ORLANDO WEEKS – ‘A QUICKENING’
The former lead singer of The Maccabees quietly drops his solo debut LP this week. It’s a very difficult time for alternative acts to release new music. Their chart positions are buoyed by independent record stores and in-store performances and gigs. Orlando will struggle to reach the commercial heights of his former band who went […]
Continue ReadingALBUM OF THE WEEK: RUN THE JEWELS – ‘RTJ 4’
Following the murder of George Floyd, Run The Jewels‘ fourth album couldn’t feel more appropriately timed. The fact that it was written and recorded some time ago and always scheduled for release next week just emphasises that these horrific incidents are not new and not uncommon. Just like the 3 previous records, ‘RTJ4’ is politically-charged. […]
Continue ReadingALBUM OF THE WEEK: CARLY RAE JEPSEN – ‘DEDICATED SIDE B’
Yes, there’s a new album from The 1975 album out today which is pretty good. The Gunna album is also expected to do big things. In these dark and difficult times, what could be more useful than a surprise album drop from pop saviour Carly Rae Jepsen? These are leftover songs which did not make […]
Continue ReadingALBUM OF THE WEEK: CHARLI XCX – ‘HOW I’M FEELING NOW’
Recently, Charli said that there were times when she regretted declaring that she’d make a lockdown album in 6 weeks and document the entire process. She’s invited fans and artists to collaborate at each stage – with songwriting, videos and artwork. Now that it’s arrived, we hope that she has no regrets, as it’s her […]
Continue ReadingALBUM OF THE WEEK: HAYLEY WILLIAMS – ‘PETALS FOR ARMOR’
Hayely Williams steps out of Paramore to release her first solo album, ‘Petals For Armor’. We expected this record to come much sooner, perhaps on the back of her chart-topping collaboration with B.o.B. ‘Airplanes’ back in 2010. At that point, Hayley seemed like an obvious contender to ‘do a Gwen Stefani‘. Instead, she regrouped with […]
