Having announced that their debut single will be released via Meltdown Records, Brighton’s Atlas Wynd have built quite the live reputation in their hometown. ‘I’ve Had Enough’, is a call back to early 2000 bands including the likes of The Hives that slapped you in the face with their catchy, don’t-give-a-fuck anthems. Frenetic guitars and addictive…
SHVLLOWS: ‘Zurich’
Edinburgh’s SHVLLOWS have already enjoyed notable support for their vibrant electro-pop stylings. Latest single, ‘Zurich‘ will no doubt be heard pumping out mainstream and commercial radio stations.

The stadium-esque delivery is notable and I hope the band continue to evolve and progress into another notable Scottish…

LUMER: ‘Beware Of The Natives’
It’s not often that you feel the flesh from your bones has been taken off in the opening bar of a song, but Yorkshire’s LUMER have come pretty close to making this happen. When you think of Yorkshire, you think rolling fields, nonchalant locals discussing the weather and a general calmness. You don’t think gut-punching, ferocious…

Zyna Hel: ‘Catacombs’
Self-proclaimed disco witch Zyna Hel has landed with an impressive new bombastic hit ‘Catacombs’.
