Pink Film - Trouble

The new single from London quartet Pink Film, Trouble is a four-minute parade of harmonies, melody, with a restless rhythm section outer shell and a sweetly pyschedelic filling.

Trust Fund - Football

Football features power pop with a kick (pun semi-intended), a message of ambiguous relationships with the beautiful game, and a retro Bristol City FC kit.

Jemima Surrender - Or Anyone

The video for Or Anyone doesn't take itself too seriously; all the while a violent but perfectly harnessed storm whips up around Millie Phipps' stunning vocal as the track treads its relentless, sinister path.

Flyte - Please Eloise

Fell Runner are a new band based in Los Angeles, mixing indie rock riffs with all sorts of shifting and interlocking rhythms. The combination comes from the quartet's desire to "blow off steam" during their...

Swerve - Aw Hell

Aw Hell is the new single from LA rock band Swerve. You might detect REMishness in some of the guitar lines, mixed with a kind of brit-pop, brit-rock downstroke.

Pale Honey - Over Your Head

Pale Honey are Swedish duo Tuva Lodmark (guitar / vocals) and Nelly Daltrey (drums). Over Your Head is their new single. Its laid back coolness doesn't need any help from me.
