The Manchester-based indie rock outfit have been making waves over the past 5 years with a fantastic run of singles, eps and and this single is from their brand new EP “Always In Colour” 👊
With a unique mix of upbeat indie rock, the track is full of gritty and intricate lyricism, a singalong hook and gorgeous guitar riffs throughout, touching on a range of influences and really maintaining a feel-good atmosphere to their tune. There’s a real sense of realness to the track, something that is hard to maintain and these guys have smashed it on this tune 🎶
there’s only a week to go til the release of our newest single on the label, “Happening Like You” by Scatterchild
we can’t wait for you all to hear this, after his debut single with us back in March, he’s got another incredible track to release – featuring the amazing Isabel Williamson Music on cello
Manchester’s own Cottons have just released their brand new single “Second Hand Living Room“, an explosive return from the alternative-pop outfit 💥 we’ve been huge fans of these guys for a long time now and their incredible back catalogue of releases sees another massive tune added to it!
We first had Cottons perform for us way back in 2019 or so, before the pandemic and they blew us away with their incredible stage energy, upbeat and catchy tunes, their ability to write an incredible hook and the innate chemistry within the band 🤝
You can really hear it in this new song, with gorgeous guitar melodies lacing the track – the tone is luscious, and paired with the synth lead it combines for an infectious upbeat feel!
The track has a fantastic groove behind it, with a drumbeat that feels not only confident and tight but has a real element of dynamic throughout, matching perfectly to the bassline – giving so much room within the track for the vocal to take centre stage!
It’s a real singalong tune, with the main vocal utilising a lovely melody throughout – plus, with a catchy chorus hook, intricate and descriptive lyricism, and the offset vocal melody of the second verse contrasting to the first; definitely a proper summer feel to this one! ☀️
you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms – it’s another incredible tune under their belt and we can’t wait to see where they go next! definitely worth checking out all of their tracks, we’ve covered their music a bunch; a fantastic band! 🙌
there’s only a week until Scatterchild begins his Spring mini-tour
