Favela is a 22 year old Leeds-based producer and released his EP Future Visions on Soundcloud about two months ago. With no prior listening to his music, one might infer, from the names, an electronic-based, […]

Let’s start thematically. We’ll focus on a universal sense of pain, something that highlights the true extent of human fragility. So, where do we look? Well, take it back to 41 B.C and think Cleopatra and Mark […]

Though ostensibly about an unreciprocated summer love – all heady, hot-tempered, and lost in a haze – Mike Coykendall’s ‘In The Summertime’ makes sure that, even whilst lamenting at a distance, you’re having […]

Bournemouth-based post-hardcore outfit Saint (the) Sinner have strengthened their reputation since forming in 2011. Their debut album The Curious Tales of Mistress Murder received positive reviews, while their […]

Liverpool’s Bandito Rey emit a grungy, dark sound with their latest single, ‘Juicy Fruit’. The four-piece say that their influences ‘range from Aphex Twin to Radiohead, Morrisey to Massive Attack’ and this is […]

Dear all of the media (both social and otherwise),

I am currently pacing around my room in a frantic tizz of an eruptive, emotional and distinctly female mess as I am suddenly stumped by a question that […]

Picture this scenario. You are standing a few feet from a small square painting. It is a priceless da Vinci, titled Ginevra de Benci – a petite but stunning work that is the only of the artist’s in North Am […]

‘Lust’ by Merseyside band, VYNCE, opens with a tiptoeing melody, which is quickly stirred into frenzy by the crashing beats. Melodically this track wouldn’t be out of place on a Bombay Bicycle Club record, but […]

They’re the band that no truly indie lineup is complete without. Alt-J have made a name for themselves with their experimental sound, which to the first listener is usually impenetrable, but has become a staple of […]

‘Other Lives.’

What a surprise, this just happened to be the best episode so far this season…not just that, but the quality of the episode is on par with Season 1. The first time I’ve thought this since it’s […]

After clicking on the link to Strange Cages’ Soundcloud page to listen to latest single ‘Pony’, out July 20th on Strong Island Recordings, the first thing I notice is the hashtag ‘psycho-sleaze’. That’s exactly […]

With Contorno we see the pace of the show picking up once again, and it becomes startlingly clear just how close Hannibal Lecter is to meeting his demise. Once accredited as a mastermind of the darkness and […]

With the dawning of Comic Con came a new flood of news for DC’s cinematic universe, so here’s our roundup.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

This new trailer focuses on the two protagonists of the film […]

A good friend of mine once told me that listening to Bombay Bicycle Club’s music was “what it felt like when you fall in love for the first time.” It is like when you go to a restaurant or a pub and you order the […]

The phenomenon of the ‘Fangirl’ has arisen throughout pop culture and the music industry, and has been met by a sense of prevalent snobbery from a large majority of the alternative rock fanbase – a fanbase reno […]

I’ve always considered myself an avid monarchist. For me the royal family represents so much more than just a money-spinning über-British soap opera-come-media circus that exists solely for the entertainment of Am […]

10. Nobody’s Daughter

Many do not consider Hole’s fourth album – Nobody’s Daughter – to truly be a product of the band, largely due it resembling a barely veiled solo endeavour by lead singer, Courtney […]

As the melodic arpeggio-riff that opens ‘Painkiller’ by The Jacques gently lulls the listener into a melancholic haze, one is instantly drawn in by the raw honesty of the Bristol indie-rock outfit’s latest track […]

Just been dumped? Fear not! The Indiependent’s very own Emmie Morris picks a mix of ten tracks, old and new, that hold the best lyrics to help one get over a broken heart.
