Singles Round Up – Part 3 – March 2023

Another month and another immense list of songs for your aural pleasure. Don’t let anyone ever tell you there is no good new music about these days…

As usual, there is an evil Spotify playlist for you to sample the songs before you go to the artists own sites to buy their music if you like it….

The Black Delta Movement – Zip Tie & Photograph

Zip Tie from garage rockers The Black Delta Movement is initially an understated slow burner, a low and slow sinister rumble that builds in speed and increases in intensity as the song reaches its powerfully climactic zenith.… Read the rest

Singles Round Up 2023 – Pt 2 – February 2023

It may be nearly March and all, but shit happens, so here it is better late than never….Another bumper singles round up for February with plenty of top quality tuneage to suit every taste…I’ve used my words sparingly, I’m so far behind and have still to start thinking about the March roundup.

Singles Round Up Part 11 – November 2022

Penultimate round up for 2022…

Klubber Lang – The Sad Professor

Another thunderous behemoth of a tune from Dublin’s Klubber Lang, this time the huge riffs, pounding rhythm and caustic vocals sounding like the bastard child of an unholy coupling between Therapy? and The Fall.

Less Killjoy – Sad Girl Suburbia

The lyrics of this beats led grunge guitar driven song reflects her attempts are trying to fit in while growing up before discovering her own path and sticking a middle finger up to the world.… Read the rest

September round up

Singles Round Up Part 9 – September 2022

two thirds of the way through the year and time for another round up of the best singles, demos, live tracks and general goodness that has come my way by hook or by crook throughout the month of September.

bis – Lucky Night

It’s your lucky day, bis returned in September with their new single Lucky Night, a song packed with bis goodness and accompanied by an engrossing CGI video packed with clones of the bis threesome. The upbeat electropop anthem bemoaning dodgy nightclub chat up lines “a boy walked up to me…” It’s bis, what’s not to love?

The Nightingales – Bloody Breath

From their new album The Last Laugh is this slice of Nightingales brilliance, layering addictive driving rhythms starting with an incessant piano riff before adding throbbing bass and adding instrument after instrument to create an insanely hypnotic melee, all topped off with Robert Lloyd’s distinctive low, almost menacing brogue and you have sheer perfection.… Read the rest
