I find it hard to fathom that it was five whole years ago, in January 2016, that Hinds’ LP Leave Me Alone debuted. I remember its release well. I was a single unemployed graduate, you know the story – emotionally vulnerable, unsure, lost in life. I had heard a couple of Hinds songs, and thought […]Read More
“Women are at the forefront because naturally we had to be” Lisasinson Spanish garage rock is almost entirely synonymous with Hinds, the rambunctious, all-female band who took Madrid’s sounds to international ears in 2016 with their jangly debut Leave Me Alone. Formed in 2011 by Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote, the frontwomen joined forces with […]Read More

Under the proverbial radar for over a year now, Black Honey have been tugged through the sticky sludge of grunge and have somehow came out sounding flawless. It would be a simple slip-up to envision the Brighton bunch with a lot more than a few EPs under their belt. Fronted by this generation’s answer to […]Read More
Along with a video featuring some stark totalitarian imagery, York four-piece King No-One have unveiled their new single ‘Antichrist’. Given the meaning behind their name stems from their belief that “no-one is king”, the strong political imagery featured within the song comes as little surprise. Frontman Zach Lount explains the inspiration behind the video as: “There’s always been a battle between […]Read More
