Throwing Muses, Hobbes Fanclub, Joanna Gruesome, Lunchbox, Fishboy, Primitives at Tuning Into the Obscure

The Hobbes Fanclub – Up At Lagrange – Shelflife Records – LP/CD Hazy and dreamy guitars and vocals gives this album a sort of hot, hazy and lazy summer feel, which for me is just perfect. It’s refreshing and relaxing at the same time, without compromising on songwriting or quality.  It definitely fits in with Shelflife’s vast… Continue reading Throwing Muses, Hobbes Fanclub, Joanna Gruesome, Lunchbox, Fishboy, Primitives at Tuning Into the Obscure

Hobbes Fanclub at El Planeta Amarillo

Tras dos cd-singles compartidos con otras bandas en Cloudberry y Dufflecoat y un 7” de adelanto ya en Shelflife, el trío de Bradford formado por Leon Carroll (voz y guitarra), Louise Phelan (bajo y coros) y Adam Theakston (batería) publica su esperadísimo álbum de debut, un fantástico trabajo en el que encontramos once maravillosas joyas… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at El Planeta Amarillo

Hobbes Fanclub at Baby Sue

The debut full-length release from the Bradford, England-based band The Hobbes Fanclub. These folks make music that recalls the 1990s when underground guitar bands seemed to be just about everywhere. Those days may (sadly) be gone…but they make us appreciate those ultra cool bands out there who aren’t afraid to turn up their guitars and have… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Baby Sue

When people talk about doing something new, changing their lives, or even their wardrobe, a sickening doubt always hangs in the air. Is it worth risking everything you’ve ever known and distrusted to give into the lustful motion of… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach

Hobbes Fanclub at 12XU

Das Shoegaze/Noisepop/C86-Revival der letzten Jahre ist ja mal ziemlich schnell ausgebrannt und den Weg aller kurzlebigen Indie-Hypes gegangen. Und ausgerechnet jetzt kommt da so eine Band aus Bradford dahergelaufen, die so tut als wäre diesbezüglich in den vergangenen fünf Jahren gar nix passiert. Somit weiß diese Platte dem Genre auch nicht viel neues hinzufügen, erinnert… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at 12XU

Hobbes Fanclub at God Is In The TV

The Bradford-based trio The Hobbes Fanclub conjure up a dreamy, reverb-dipped and melodic sound on their début album Up At Lagrange, which harks back to the restrained production values and style of late 80s/early 90s shoegaze pop.  The delicate haze and plaintive vocals of‘Into The Night’ create a wonderful opening and is followed by the highlight‘Stay Gold’, which dazzles… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at God Is In The TV
