Yorkshire rockers Blue Orchid Reaction are back with another banger – we’ve featured them before and love the energy within their music. “Sunset Claims” is another top single from them – with 70’s influence, lush guitar tones and some lovely songwriting, definitely worth checking out! [SPOTIFY]
New to the Manchester scene, Green Wire are definitely a band to keep your eyes on! With a first release like this, they’re sure to go places. Really lush vocals and band sounding proper tight, this is one for all the indie rock lovers out there. [SPOTIFY]
We know we’ve featured Szou before with this track, but this music video is bloody CLASS. A real homage to Manchester, and an absolutely fantastic tune. One to blast out before you go out – pop goodness, and the tune is produced so well. What a talent! Big shout to
on the video here, one of the best. We LOVE it! [SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE]
Singer-songwriter Holly Jenkinson is back with another absolutely lovely tune, “I Told You So”! With such warm guitar tones here, brilliant lyricism, and a fantastic vocal, absolutely unreal stuff. Definitely one to keep an eye on! Ps.. that drop into the band is absolutely beautiful. [SPOTIFY]
Absolutely beautiful chorusy guitar here from Ophelia for their debut single “Man on Mountain”. A real lush soundscape throughout the track, an absolutely top chorus – this tune ticks all the boxes for us. That distorted guitar riff too! Wow. Definitely ones to watch here! [SPOTIFY]
Manchester-based punks The Battery Farm are back with yet another massive tune “Roy Keane Isn’t Real”! Proper heavy and driving stuff from these guys, real punk ambassadors of the scene. Well class and so noisy! The video is proper great too, tongue in cheek laughs throughout, well worth a watch! [SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE]
Manchester indie rockers Not Ned are back with their new EP “Good Times”! Well worth a listen, you can tell these guys are jamming and having a laugh – that riff is proper lush and the band sounds proper tight. Lovely alt rock vibe to this – just great vibes all around here! [SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE]
