Skating Polly – ‘Hey Sweet’
A year after supporting Babes In Toyland on their UK tour, Oklahoma duo Skating Polly have announced the release of their new album The Big Fit.

Fresh: Buddha Trixie – ‘Real’
Buddha Trixie describe themselves as four college kids holed up in a garage in San Diego which is perfectly reflected in their latest track ‘Real’. This is not so much recycling classic rock ‘n’ roll, but reviving it with added ebullience. This is an exciting new wave attack that goes way beyond the band’s years.
Fresh: Dreuw – ‘Wait’
Swindon doesn’t exactly conjure a catalogue of memorable musicians, but singer-songwriter Dreuw certainly is someone to put it on the map. His latest track ‘Wait’ is both vulnerable and affecting. Its quiet rippling guitar lines make you feel like you are immediately imposing on someone’s privacy. This is packed with dynamic bravery, if anything it leaves…
