  • SOPHIA STEL’S DOOM POP

    Sophia Stel says she’s a pop star, but don’t expect the glittery sheen of Sabrina Carpenter here. This pop filled with doom. She’s just released a new single called ‘Bitches Talk Shit’ which kinda underlines that point. Sophia has been getting a lot of people’s knickers in a twist and is setting off on a UK…

  • RARE DM SWIRLY NEW TRACK

    Rare DM has a new record out soon which goes by the name of ‘Attention’, and you can have a preview of what it might sound like right now. The appetiser is in the shape of new track ‘Honey’, which is moody, but simultaneously, upbeat. She says of it: “I wrote it during the uncertain…

  • MODULAR SYNTH GOODNESS FROM EMILY A SPRAGUE

    We don’t know the work of Emily Sprague, of Florist, but apparently she’s taken a left turn. Whatever is happening, we like it! She’s said that her new single ‘Double Moon’ “marks the beginning exploration of a previously uncharted map for me – the realms that combine my modular synthesizer work and my singing/songwriting.” It’s…

  • MORE KACEY MUSGRAVES MUSIC

    Kacey Musgraves is readying her sixth LP – ‘Middle of Nowehere’ – after releasing the very tongue-in-cheek ‘Dry Spell’ which had one of the best ‘Yup!’ deliveries we’ve heard anywhere, she’s now given us another track to whet the whistle. The new album is not far away, landing on May 1st, and the artwork and…

  • SPOTIFY AWARDED COPYRIGHT MONEY FROM NO-ONE

    Have you heard of Anna’s Archive? Well, it was a project that mirrored libraries from streaming services. You might say they were like a library, trying to preserve all the recorded music, via Bit Torrents. That’s what they said, and it all wasn’t readily searchable from your average internet user either. Of course, there’s no…

  • THE GNOMES ’60s FUZZ

    If you like your Lo-Fi rock ‘n’ roll to have flashes of early Kinks and Garage Punk, then you probably need to get on board with Australian group, The Gnomes, who like fuzzy guitars mixed with actual songwriting rather than simple yelling. Now that we’re averse to yelling, mind you. The band will release a…

  • WHAT’S THE THING WITH GEESE?

    Geese shot to fame seemingly overnight, which can only mean one thing – we must don our tinfoil hats and assume something is up. Or at least, that’s what the vibe is currently amongst the chattering indie classes, who think this must be some ‘industry plant’ thing going on, or in one instance, that the…

  • MADONNA IS BACK ON THE DANCEFLOOR

    Madonna promised that she’d be leading us back to the club (where you can dance – for inspiration, c’mon!) when she said a sequel to the mighty Confessions of a Dancefloor was coming our way. Well, now it is totally official, with ‘Confessions II’ getting released on July 3rd. And there’s a teaser to whet…

STOP HOARDING TUNES


  • LP GIOBBI NEW ONE IS REALLY COOL

    Fans of mildly psychedelic pop music should tune-in now, because LP Giobbi has a new track out that’s great and you’ll like it. It comes from a new album called ‘Light Places’ and will be out in May. As none of us are very good at waiting for things, you can hear the new track…

  • REBECCA BLACK: FORGET THE MEMES – THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING

    12 years ago on this very day, Rebecca Black released ‘Friday’ and became a meme. She implored us that we needed to get down on Friday, and over a decade later with the release of her first LP ‘Let Her Burn’, on a literal Friday, it’s very easy to get down, because in a week…

  • CORONATION TICKET BALLOT FOR THE SCABS AMONGST YOU

    This summer, King Charles III will be getting fitted with a new hat and of course, us loyal servants will be allowed to stop averting our eyes for the day to look directly at a man who is still called Prince Charles really. Of course, like all public holiday things, the 24 hour news channels…

  • WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT MAMA

    Matthew McConaughey is going to provide the voice for Elvis Presley in a new animated TV series, which explains the terrible joke we made in the headline. Don’t worry – there’ll be more terrible takes to come. Producers at Netflix announced that the Oscar-winning actor will voice to the lead character in the upcoming action-comedy…
