Manchester-based Alōr have just dropped their debut self-titled EP! We had them perform for us back in September and were in awe of their musicianship and chemistry on the stage, and we’ve covered a few of their singles, which led perfectly into this new EP. Their singles are a lovely start to the release, and the new tracks sound fantastic – lovely, well-crafted tunes that echo elements of indie-pop, jazz, atmospheric influences that ensure that Alōr have a real signature sound here – it’s a fantastic listen and a superb run of tracks! Well worth checking out 🤝
Indie/grunge artist Daisy Harris just released “Man of the Year“, their brand new EP! we’ve covered Daisy’s music a bunch in the past, and the grungey-songwritery elements really put it as a standout here in Manchester – tongue-in-cheek lyrics, direct songwriting style, walls of distortion and lovely dynamics set this EP as a definite to listen to. with incredible lyricism, personal and raw storytelling throughout the release, and there’s a real diy feel to the EP – it’s well worth checking out and we can’t wait to hear even more 🎶
The Click Clacks just dropped their debut album “Boo!” – another familiar face for us on the scene, we’ve had them perform for us a bunch, their direct and loud sound really sets them apart from the rest. you can hear the range of influences in the tracks, from indie, to punk, to grunge – it’s a real folk-punk album and any fans of the genre should definitely check it out. their lyricism is great here, and with direct and passionate songwriting, this really holds together the album, albeit only a guitar and a vocal throughout! 🤘
we’ve also known Arms & Hearts for a long long time now, having had them perform for us a bunch and caught them at a bunch of gigs – they’ve just release their second album “The Future Is Not Bright“! it sounds absolutely incredible, their delicate and intricate lyricism and vocal delivery perfectly matched to the guitarwork and the drum patterns behind. it really shines a light on the storytelling, and Steve’s innate ability to write a song that paints a real picture – the production on the tracks too is perfect, brilliantly levelled throughout to ensure you’re hanging onto every word, you’re captured in every beat – a brilliant listen! 🎧
Another familiar face on our reviews, Manchester indie-pop outfit Cottons have just dropped their brand new single “old skool town“! It sounds fantastic, a much more indie-rock anthem vibe compared to their previous tunes, an upbeat and energetic tune – it’s still got the tongue-in-cheek, conversationalist lyrical tone that we’re used to with Cottons’ music, and there’s a lovely dream-pop element behind the track with synths, lead guitar melodies in the atmosphere of the track – and with a singalong anthemic chorus, it’s yet another incredible release from these guys! 💥
We’ve known Jimmy Page XI for a good while now, having caught him at a bunch of gigs, listened to his music on the regular and we’re always amazed by his musical output, his commitment to the scene – he’s just put out his new single “Anti-Christ“! It’s a bit of a more darker setting compared to his previous pop-singer-songwriter releases, but it sounds fantastic – with a real groove behind the track with the full band, allowing ample space for Jimmy to take charge of the track, with intricate and personal lyricism, yet still maintaining that pop singalong element that we’re used to – proving that his capabilities are endless! 👊
Sheffield-based Matilda Shakes just dropped their latest single “Frankie“! it’s a proper heavy indie rock banger, direct from the get-go there’s a luscious guitar riff, huge drumwork and driving bass that set the foundation of the track excellently – plenty of space for the main vocal to command, and it opens up into a proper wall of sound for the chorus, with an incredible drive behind it, we can only imagine how great this one goes live. it sounds incredible, and their back catalogue is also an incredible listen too. well worth checking out! 🌙
another one of our favourites, and a band we’ve covered each and every single they’ve put out – the incredible Sad Sells have just dropped their brand new single “Sweet Lorraine“! it’s already had a fantastic reception, nearly garnering 50,000 streams already, and it’s a lovely folk-rock ballad, with a gorgeous groove behind it, luscious vocal harmonies gracing the track – it flows so freely, you can really hear how in sync every musician is on the track. it’s yet another incredible release for them, and well worth a listen – we can’t wait to see what they’ve got for us next 🤝

we’ve been massive fans of Luna Marble for a long time now, having caught them performing live multiple times, having them perform for us and we love their previous tracks that they’ve put out, and reviewed a bunch of them! 👊
this new single only further encapsulates their talent, their motivation and determination – it continues fully within their old school rock and roll vibes, mixing influences from across the musical spectrum, with blues riffs, grungey tones and Maria’s powerful and commanding vocal taking control of the track, perfectly balancing to Dragos’ signature guitarwork. there’s a gorgeous dynamic within this song, balancing calm and atmospheric elements to the heavy, wall of sound distortion that is present in the chorus – it’s another well-crafted tune from them and well worth checking out! 🎶

West-Yorkshire songstress HerOrangeCoat released the second track from her upcoming EP, “Ballad 2 (Skin Off My Back)“! It sounds absolutely gorgeous, with melodic ukulele patterns forming the basis of the track, with her mesmerising vocal drawing the listener in, with raw, passionate and personal lyricism that really shines in this tune. It’s a delicate and expertly-crafted track, with lovely melodies throughout and a real edge to the performance. We can’t wait to hear the EP!
Manchester post-punk outfit Pomona just dropped their latest single “A Man Like Me“! Immediately from the get-go, the track has an incredible atmosphere, with huge drums, driving bass and ferocious guitarwork – and the vocal takes centre-stage as soon as it comes in! There’s a proper groove behind the track, the rhythm section working in perfect unison to keep the flow, and giving ample room for the guitars and vocal to compliment one another expertly – a proper banger, and we can’t wait to hear even more from them!
we’ve checked out Marseille a bunch this year, having heard of them through many different channels, and they’ve been going from strength to strength – the release of their EP “Godiva” here only enforces that claim even further. Winding basslines, chaotic yet controlled rhythm-work, lovely guitar tones and energetic tunes are in abundance here, high-energy tunes that give a real 90’s Manchester nostalgia, and soaring and powerful vocals take control of every track. A proper great listen for any fan of rock music!
Derby-based Sura Laynes just dropped another single, “Let The Good Times Roll“! A real anthemic rock tune, bringing elements of rock, indie and folk to the table, it’s a proper belter. There’s intricate and well-thought-out lyricism, there’s lovely guitarwork, gorgeous bass + drum patterns throughout, anthemic singalong choruses – incredible to hear! It’s only their second single too, so we can’t wait to hear even more from these guys – so much potential!
a familiar face for us, we’ve had The Dove & The Dragon perform for us a bunch over the past year or so, and her delicate, poetic storytelling is unreal – her ability to craft a song is second to none, and ensures an incredible live performance every single time. This EP “The Sun King” translates that live energy so well, with an intricate setting behind each track, ensuring the listener hangs onto every word, where you can bask in her lyrical brilliance – it’s a perfect encapsulation of her talent. Well worth a listen in full!
East Yorkshire-based songwriter Matt Crossland has just put out his newest tune “Above The Clouds“! We had him perform for us earlier in the year, and we were in awe of his quality on stage, and his prolific songwriter ability. This new tune is incredible, his vocal melodies perfectly balanced to the instrumentation, with a huge chorus that’s a proper singalong, proving his ability to create a quality track. Well worth checking out, and plenty of other tunes in his discography for you to sink your teeth into!
We’ve also known Sam Steele for a good while now, with such a unique upbeat pop feel to his tracks, descriptive lyricism that paint such a luscious picture – always a great one to catch live. This new EP “Far Too Pop” sounds fantastic, and translates his live performances so well into the studio, bringing a full band sound, very indie-pop vibes – there’s. real lovely optimistic element behind each of the tunes, you can really hear the chemistry of the band and it’s put together superbly! Well worth a listen!
A real jewel of the Manchester scene, Run Remedy has returned with the new single “Disciple“! We’ve had Run Remedy perform for us before, and her mesmerising performances leave audiences in awe, her lyrical and musicial capabilities are incredible to witness – this new single only proves this even further. It’s got a luscious backdrop throughout the tune, and the slow build throughout the first half of the track is done so well, dropping away to a really intricate and personal contrast – it sounds absolutely amazing. Definitely one to check out!

this new single sounds incredible, with synths and atmospheres reminiscent of 80’s pop, and luscious soundscapes layering the foundation of the track to create something that not only feels nostalgic, but fresh and unique – and the main vocal immediately takes control of the track, with direct and flowing delivery, a great tone to it and honest, raw storytelling, yet maintaining a singalong catchy hook; brilliant to see! it’s a real gem, definitely one to put on before a night out 🍷
