Genre-wise Swedish Agent Side Grinder has always existed in some kind of twilight zone. Deeply rooted in early electronic and industrial music as well as proto and post punk, their sound is driven by iterative, suggestive beats and sudden bursts of untamed ferocity — built on equal parts dissonant samples and elegant melodies.

Their upcoming album ‘Jack Vegas’, preceded by the single ‘Waiting Room’, will be out early 2023.

In 2022 Twang-Pop Post Yacht-Rock Soft Psychers Hutch had an astounding first year releasing three singles, picking up a strong organic following, hitting the festival circuit, receiving BBC and international radio attention, making the glastonbury longlist and selling out both of their headline shows.

Now they are gearing up for an even bigger 2023 as they head out on their first UK tour armed with new material and a whimsical wall of psychedelic noise. If you want to see “a band as good as ‘Rumors’-era Fleetwood Mac” jump aboard the train to twang town and strap in, we’re going to the moon.

Portsmouth upstarts Hallan announce second EP ‘The Noise Of A Firing Gun’, set for release March 31st via Nice Swan Records (English Teacher, Sports Team, Courting), and share lead single ‘Unwomanly Face Of War’, out today (February 16th).

Partnering with the tastemaker label for their brand new record, the thrilling quartet are primed to build on acclaimed debut EP ‘Reporting Live From The Living Room Floor’, with their newest work seeing the band experiment with production elements and shift their gaze towards synthesised sounds of the ‘80s, whilst retaining their post-punk edge.

Detailing their frantic and jarring lead track, enigmatic frontman Conor Clements explained: “After an exploration into “The Unwomanly Face of War”, a book penned by Nobel Prize winning author Svetlana Alexievich, I discovered the real life stories of hundreds of female soldiers who endured horrors and loss during the Second World War. Having fought for the Soviet Union these women of Russia recount their memories and nightmares in honest detail, sharing their experiences on the front lines and back home.

‘Unwomanly Face Of War’ is written to remember the realities of a time not long ago and the sacrifices and efforts given by women of the past; it reminds us all to ensure above all else that no daughter or son need know the noise of a firing gun”.

Leaving the mundanity of the 21st century behind and turning to real-life events of the past, Hallan bring attention to the stories of historical individuals within their new EP. Having already attracted an array of acclaim throughout the press landscape (Loud & Quiet, The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, CRACK Magazine, Clash, Gigwise, The Forty-Five, Rough Trade), as well as supports with Sports Team, Porridge Radio and Pom Poko, and considerable BBC 6 Music playlist (Steve Lamacq) exposure, Hallan are readying themselves to hit the road this April for a full-scale UK tour, coinciding with their EP’s arrival.

Hallan’s ‘Unwomanly Face Of War’ is out February 16th via Nice Swan Records and will be available on all digital platforms.

The Early Mornings

Death and Vanilla return with ‘Flicker’, presenting their unique pop music that defies categorisation. Housed in a beautifully austere post-ironic de-constructed sleeve; ‘Flicker’ is a modern reflection on these difficult times. World crises notwithstanding, they return reborn, re-arranged and revitalised after assimilating dub reggae, the motorik spirals of Can, the modal meander of Philip Glass and The Cure’s dreamier pop sounds; plus the twice removed symphonic ambience of Spiritualized and Talking Heads under heavy manners from Brian Eno. By osmosis their period of transition since 2019’s much darker ‘Are You A Dreamer?’ has hatched new eclectic electronica anthems riddled with melody lines, and layered for lush love.

“Baroque pop through a dreampop filter.” The Guardian

Forming in Malmö, Sweden, Death And Vanilla gravitated towards vintage musical equipment; from vibraphone, organ and mellotron, to tremolo guitar and Moog synthesisers. Soaking up soundtracks from the 60s and 70s, listening to library music, kosmiche, French Ye-ye pop and 60s psych, Marleen Nilsson, Anders Hansson and Magnus Bodin were fashioned by the city’s austere industrial past and flat pack present, and all in the shadow of the Orsesund Bridge that links their dreamworld to mainland Europe and a darker reality.

“Deploying vintage instruments in their quest for melancholic utopia.” Electronic Sound

Death And Vanilla at once sound like everything is possible; but nothing else at all. There is a flicker of hope for everyone.

Lorena Quintanilla is one half (guitarist/vocalist) of Guadalajara, Mexico’s Lorelle Meets The Obsolete.

Since 2017 Quintanilla has also been focusing on her solo project, J. Zunz. Her debut album “Silente” was released via Monofonus Press in 2017. “Hibiscus” (Rocket Recordings / Commando Vanessa) is the result of a metamorphic process whereby the minimal is rendered maximal and the personal fused with the political.

In 2022 she released her third album “Del Aire” (Rocket Recordings) written during a strict lockdown caused by the pandemic. With the atmospheric and natural theme of air at the heart of the creative process, Lorena created an extraordinarily spacious work where the discordant-meets-melodic sonics.

"With the natural theme of air at the centre of the creative process, Lorena has created an extremely spacious work. She spreads her wings and, carried by air currents, gives herself over to pure musical meditation. The synths in ‘Lineal’ blossom into pulsating loops that could go on indefinitely. Elsewhere, as on “Del Aire”, melodic sounds spill across the space of the room in which we listen to this material. Both Lorena’s vocals and her distinctive, crystalline aesthetic are beautifully revealed in the reverberations of “Cruce” and “Horizonte”." (Artur Mieczkowski, Anxious Magazine)

Floral Image are a psychedelic pop band from the third-eye of Norwich, UK. Formed in 2019, their sound is the reincarnation of the summer sun which is spun in a perpetual party twilight. They harness the noise and drive of early 70’s psychedelic titans Hawkwind - with a bright helping of neo-psych acts such as King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Tame Impala - whilst still incorporating an acid house groove underneath their bright and luscious melodies.

The band’s early demos were championed on BBC Introducing by both Huw Stephens and Jamz Supernova, featuring on the 2020 ‘Ones To Watch Show’ alongside Dry Cleaning and Porridge Radio. Following the release of their first singles including ‘Dial In’ and ‘Why I Leave’, they have sold out shows across the country, including supporting Triptides, Flamingods and Flying Moon In Space, where their live show has proven to spiral audiences into trancelike, grooving hedonism.

Join them in the neverending solstice. Forever.

With members originating from The Netherlands, Spain and the UK, indie-rock three piece CIEL came together in Brighton on the South Coast of England. Drawing influence from the creative baggage of three countries' scenes - whilst not really feeling like they belong to any of them - CIEL’s music has a nagging yet fresh, dark and sometimes quietly glorious quality to it. Combining their love of fuzzy indie rock, goth and shoegaze, the band’s broody and gritty music is tempered by the soft, icy, but emotive melodies of singer Michelle Hindriks.

Best known on as the manic drummer of Strange Cages, and more recently Jealous Nostril, ELLiS·D spent ten years flailing his limbs across the tattered kits of UK and Europe’s basement DIY scene before starting out his solo project in 2021. Leaping viciously between psychedelic jangle, disco-infused kraut rock and taut post-punk attack, the intense energy found in the drummer-turned-frontman’s live performances mirrors the tongue-in-cheek, post-2016 nervous hysteria that run through his lyrics, driving at the heart of today’s doom-laden culture on the brink of nervous breakdown.

After signing with DIY label Crafting Room Recordings, the energy found in ELLiS·D’s live shows was replicated in the studio with an abundance of releases in 2022 notching up two EP’s and four singles in the space of 12 months, along with sell out shows as part of a first UK headline tour.

Fake Turins have been tipped across the board by press, summed up by So Young Magazine as, “lyrically subversive yet audibly untouchable”, with DIY noting their “cyclical, propulsive dancefloor groove”, and by CLASH as, “a truly multi-faceted piece of music \[that\] feels like the entry point into Fake Turins’ extraordinary world”. Radio support from Steve Lamacq (BBC 6Music), Gemma Bradley (BBC Radio 1), John Kennedy (Radio X) and Amazing Radio on both sides of the Atlantic has seen the band’s stock rise.

Their second album "Margaritas Podridas" was released in April of 2021 and they have been very active since, playing important shows in Mexico and in the US, such as opening for IDLES in Mexico City at Palacio de Los Deportes, festivals such as This Ain’t No Picnic (Pasadena, California), Ruido Fest (Chicago,IL) and opening for the Melvins in Los Angeles.

Their latest single “No Quiero Ser Madre” was released recently in August, bringing back the punk and raw sound that defines the band. Margaritas have recorded important live sessions such as Seattle's KEXP (available on YouTube) and VansChannel666, and they are currently working on the recording of their third album.

In 2023 so far they have already announced a show with The Smashing Pumpkins in Mexico City at Foro Sol among other relevant bands and artists like Deafheaven and Turnstile, as well as big bands from Mexico such as The Warning and El Shirota. The festival will take place in Foro Sol which is one of the biggest forums in Mexico with almost 60,000 capacity.

Margaritas are one of the most active and outstanding bands from Mexico’s rock scene and they have plans to continue touring around the US, Europe and Latin America with the purpose of expanding their crowd and sharing their music and contagious energy with the rest of the world.

Gitkin’s music exists somewhere between primal, rootsy memory and distant exotic yearning — A dusty bordertown where the familiar blends imperceptibly into the enchantingly foreign. After a long and fruitful run as a bandleader with relentlessly touring party-rockers Pimps Of Joytime and a Grammy-nominated country blues collaboration with Cedric Burnside, multi-instrumentalist Brian J set out to “explore tonalities I’d never messed with,” as he puts it.

Reviews of Gitkin’s first two LP’s grappled with descriptors, tagging it vaguely as “cinematic” and comparing it favorably with Khruangbin. True, the music is largely wordless, emotionally evocative, and guitar driven. But it possesses an alluring alchemy all its own.

Gitkin’s first release, 2018’s well-received Five Star Motel, amply demonstrated his ease with earthy funk and comfortably-cut rhythm. On his follow up album, Safe Passage, the itinerant guitar slinger broadened his already rich palette with melodies informed by Greek and Middle Eastern modalities, Peruvian Chicha and Tuareg Saharan guitar styles. No gimmick, this juxtaposition of gut-bucket blues and funk low-end with unexpectedly twisting lead phrases highlights the intense flavors found in each savory ingredient.

Gitkin’s production radiates character and warmth, leaning on soft-focus vintage mics, dubby spring reverbs and the quirks of an analog tape machine. Gitkin is slated to release his third full length album on March 17, 2023 with singles dropping leading up.

This original lineup of the band released two monumental albums, Entertainment! (1979) and Solid Gold (1981). A third, Songs of the Free (1982), was recorded with bassist Sara Lee replacing Dave Allen. After Songs Of The Free, Burnham departed the band and Andy Gill and Jon King continued on to release Hard in 1983. After this release, the band broke up. In 2004, the original quartet reformed for tour dates and released Return The Gift (2005).

Gill’s untimely death in February 2020 was cause for many to once again re-examine the group’s catalog and the legacy of these early releases was widely cited. Not only did Gang of Four’s music speak to the generation of musicians, activists, writers, and visual artists that emerged in the group’s immediate wake, but the generation after that. And the generation after that, even.

In 2021 the band teamed up with indie label super force Matador to release a deluxe, Grammy nominated boxset “Gang of Four 77-81” – a comprehensive and exhaustingly detailed history of the band’s music, politics and influence over the period that cemented the band’s iconic status.

In 2022, the band reformed with original members King and Burnham joined by former bassist Sara Lee and Slint guitarist David Pajo, for a hugely successful North American tour playing songs from the critically acclaimed period between 1977 – 1983. With more touring planned in 2023 - the gang are back and are ready for more.
