Moody Gowns - Sincerely Yours
Theatrical rock assembly ‘Moody Gowns’ bring their eccentric musical stylings to light with the EP ‘Sincerely Yours’ due to be released ages away on February 14th. Sounding a bit like a mashup of Franz Ferdinand and Cake if they had met in a Transylvanian folk cafe, it’s not hard to imagine them wearing vests and playing accordions, with some sort of besuited...

Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra
Here’s something a bit different from what I usually cover on here. For all of you partial to a bit of old time gypsy-swing folk music, it can be difficult to find contemporary artists with a bit of style that can and do actually write their own tracks, rather than just imitating what’s come before. I give you Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra. A mongrel group made up of...
Shield Your Eyes - Volume 4
Volume 4 is the latest release from one of the most interesting bands around - Shield Your Eyes. Due out on the 17th of October, this has got to be one of their finest albums to date. Starting out with what may be to some a surprisingly placid opening track in the form of larkspur, this is a full-length that could only have come from a mature and confident act. Boasting a diversity...
Future of the Left - Polymers are Forever EP
Future of the Left have had returned. After the rather shock news that angry singer/bassman Kelson Mathias had left the raging power-trio, the band have taken a bit of time to take stock and get their house in order. The culmination? A change of record label, and 6 track EP to boot… an album entitled the plot against common sense to follow in 2012. Excited? Good. The Polymers...
LAFARO - EASY MEAT
  Lafaro are a band that we’ve been hearing more and more about over the past few months, and today is the day that they release their sophomore full-length to the masses, along with news of a joint UK tour in November with none other than our old pals Hold Your Horse Is. ‘Easy Meat’ is a ferocious beast of an album, with thunderingly heavy metal riffs and screams....
Otherpeople - Memory Gag
A lot has changed since we first came across Otherpeople in November last year. Back then, a search for the band name would return… well, not very much. Nowadays they’ve been (finally) attracted the attention of some other well-placed musical people, getting a coveted slot for up-and-coming bands on the T-Break Stage at T in the Park, as well as their latest EP hitting Number 2...
