Witching Waves at Collective Zine

The blurb on this one suggested a healthy Sonic Youth influence and that’s pretty good timing for me personally at the moment as I’m in the midst of the annual Sonic Youth rediscovery binge – I’ve had “Goo”, “Daydream Nation” and “Dirty” in particular on repeat lately. On to Witching Waves then. They’re a London… Continue reading Witching Waves at Collective Zine

Witching Waves at For The Rabbits

Few bands on this list have given us less to go on regarding their new release, but a recent photo of copies of boxes of vinyl records called Crystal Cafe, would go to suggest that 2016 should see the debut album from London’s Witching Waves. The label, the tracklisting, the release date… well your guess… Continue reading Witching Waves at For The Rabbits

Antlered Aunt Lord at Music That I Like

Reinforcement, and it feels so good. Reinforcement, and I can pretend to myself that I connect with certain people, certain ways of seeing. This next bit is from the PR (whom I know by default): “Antlered Aunt Lord is entirely Jesse Stinnard, a guy who’s spent the past ten years in Athens, Georgia as a cherished… Continue reading Antlered Aunt Lord at Music That I Like

Try the Pie at The Bay Bridged

Out of all the Bay Area music projects I’ve found out about in 2015, South Bay’s Try The Pie has to be one of the most meaningful to me. Bean Tupou’s way of connecting their personal emotions and stories through music successfully allows anyone to listen and feel welcomed, but especially queer femme POC. Bean gives… Continue reading Try the Pie at The Bay Bridged

Eureka California at For the Rabbits

How do you take a really good noisy punk band and make them even better? Well getting MJ from Hookworms involved generally works rather nicely. That’s exactly what Athens, Georgia duo Eureka California did. Whilst on tour in the UK last summer, including a superb set at Indietracks, they headed to Leeds’ Suburban Homes Studio… Continue reading Eureka California at For the Rabbits

Eureka California at Innocent Words

Eureka California from Athens, GA announce the release of their new album “Versus” on HHBTM Records on March 25th, 2016. Endlessly self-referential and endlessly self-destructive, stuck on an endless treadmill of tension & release, of megalomania & doubt. Agoraphobic fight songs for the masses. The wit of a young Elvis Costello, the heart and reckless… Continue reading Eureka California at Innocent Words

Witching Waves at Vulture Hound

If there was an award for ‘most appropriately named up-and-coming band of 2016’ Witching Waves would definitely a strong contender for the winner. Moody, atmospheric and haunting are the words you’re probably going to read in every review of this album in the coming few weeks. I’ve been lucky enough to have caught this band… Continue reading Witching Waves at Vulture Hound

Witching Waves at Mad Mackerel

We’ve been grooving along to an advance copy of Crystal Cafe, the new album from London trioWitching Waves, due out on 25th February on Soft Power (UK) and Happy Happy Birthday To Me (US). Listen to Twister below, a sonic blast of edgy noise-pop that doesn’t sacrifice the melody at the heart of the song… Continue reading Witching Waves at Mad Mackerel
