Brooding Birmingham band, Grim Disco, have released post-punk track ‘Give and Go’ today, premiering the song exclusively on The Indiependent.

The pulsating melody, punctuated … Continue reading Single Review: Give and Go // Grim Disco

‘Sebastian’ by Welsh quintet, Tree of Wolves is a charmingly catchy construction which is sure to get your foot tapping as you recall the music of days gone by.

Standing at 5.23 minutes long, Officer’s self-proclaimed “oddly titled single” ‘My Darling Defibrillator’ is an epic saga from start to finish. The Glaswegian singer-songwriter – who also goes by the name David Logan – couples his poignant lyrics with purposeful melodies, making him the male retort to Florence Welch, of Florence + the Machine fame. … Continue reading Single Review: My Darling Defibrillator // Officer

Opening with a neat hook which wouldn’t be out of place on a Blur record, The Jackobins’ latest offering ‘Waiting On The Sun’ has a sense of urgency that makes it impossible not to groove along to.
