Derbyshire songwriter Riley Marsh returns with his new single “Maybe It’s The Rain“! His first tune of the year, and it’s a belter – with a delicate opening that evolves effortlessly into a driving, raw indie-rock track, complete with an anthemic singalong hook, quality songwriting that conveys authentic and raw passion, and expert musicianship. It’s a fantastic tune and we can’t wait to hear more!
A familiar face for us, and we loved her album last year, Toria Wooff has just put out her new single “Eileen“! a gorgeous, intimate ballad, it showcases her innate ability to craft a song that not only feels like a story, but an in-depth conversation with an old friend. the track flows effortlessly, building so well with the introduction of other instrumentation that perfectly compliments her vocals and guitar pattern. Well worth a listen!
Coming from a range of influences, and from across the entirety of the North, Provenance have been making a real name for themselves as one to watch on the scene – and they’ve just released their new single “Only When You Mean It“! it’s got an incredible energy to it, with driving rhythm forming the foundation of the track, a lovely guitar riff dancing around the soundscape, and powerful, in-your-face vocals that really ensure the listeners’ attention is firmly held.
Sheffield-based indie outfit The N.S.O have just released their EP “The Illusion of Happiness“! they’ve made a real name for themselves lately, with a string of fantastic singles, and the EP as a whole sounds mega. there’s powerful guitar riffs throughout, driving bass and drums that provide such a solid base, and singalong anthemic lyricism that is sure to be belted out back at them at gigs. be sure to give it a listen in full!
Manchester-based industrial powerhouse MATERIAL GOODS just released their single “WARNING“! blending a range of genres, they’re able to really create a sound that’s unique to themselves, with driving industrial-esque drums, gritty basslines and noisy, powerful vocals – there’s an incredible sense of dynamic in their music and the drops in this tune are second to none. we especially love the grungey, noisey guitar tones – sure to go down well with any alt rock fans!
Rnb-infused songwriter taein. returns with her new single “Sun-Kissed Afternoon“! we were huge fans of her previous EP, and this track sounds incredible. it’s got a gorgeous use of instrumentation to it, with a dreamy piano line that really sets the scene of the track, and perfectly compliments her vocal, which glides effortlessly across the soundscape, delivering her expertly-written prose superbly. one for putting on repeat!
we had Soup Druid perform for us last year, and we were blown away by their quality stagecraft and musicianship, being able to entice an audience with their performance – they’ve just put out their new single “Spider“! the track captures that live essence so well, with a moody backdrop that’s expertly crafted through their melodies, and it provides a gorgeous backdrop for the vocal to croon over. with intricate melodies and huge dynamics, it conveys the story of the song so well! definitely worth a listen!
