Sweet Apple - 'Love & Desperation' Album Review Posted

Wow. What a back story we have here. John Petkovic of Cobra Verde loses his mother to a long and horrible illness, gets in his car, drives 400 miles across America, chain-smoking and generally swamped by his grief, and ends up in the neighbourhood of some of his old buddies – Dave Sweetapple from Witch and (sharp intake of breath) J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr/Witch/Fog/being a general godlike genius fame, who basically tell him they’re all going to start a band and send him home to write some stuff. Read More...

Fortune - 'Bully'

Disappears - 'Lux' Album Review Posted

Imagine what you’d end up with if Ride and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club formed a gang, drove a blacked-out-windowed van up to the queue for Stars in Their Eyes and kidnapped "Tonight, Matthew, I’m going to be Mark E. Smith" and "Tonight, Matthew, I’m going to be Kevin Shields". Picture that? Good - you’re getting close to what Disappears sound like. Read More...

Introducing Mother Mother!

This bunch of kooky Canadians have been making waves in their homeland for a while, but now it’s time for the UK attack. Their ridiculously catchy single, ‘Hay Loft’ is out on April 19th through Last Gang Records.

E&D current faves Boe Weaver have popped up with another wacky video, this time for track ‘I Think You Two Should Leave’ to celebrate the fact their début album is out on Monday. As if the last one for Monster Maker (which was made for 99p by the way) wasn’t weird enough, check this shit out:

North Atlantic Oscillation - 'Grappling Hooks' Album Review Posted

The North Atlantic Oscillation is a climatic phenomenon in the North Atlantic Ocean of fluctuations in the difference of atmospheric pressure at sea-level between the Icelandic low and the Azores high. Eh? Really? Oh, sorry.... North Atlantic Oscillation are a Scottish three piece that play an expansive, dreamy electronically tinged blend of shoegazing indie but with a heavy slice of pop sensibility. The overall sound sits somewhere between Maps and Delphic with a dash of the current new wave of shoegaze stylings. Read More...

Boe Weaver

Listen, if you will, with your mind’s ear to the sound of Dick Dale teaming up with The Stooges to soundtrack 70’s Blacksploitation and porn flicks with a sideorder of garage psychedelia. If you can do this then you are somewhere near imagining what the world of Boe Weaver sounds like. It’s all scratchy, valve amplified guitars, surfy riffs, strange sci-fi sounds and a mighty funk, the like of which would turn Prince purple with envy. Read More...
