HAUS reveal video for "Blinded"

London via Hartforsshire band Haus are still working away at their domination, and yesterday they revealed their video for "Blinded" via Clash. The video was shot in Greenwich Tunnel - which has seen a lot of bands head down for shoots and recording over the year - and sees the young lad trying to get to his girl before she destroys his heart.

[LISTEN] HAUS - Blinded

Produced by Everything Everything’s Alexander Robertshaw and mixed by the Cenzo Towndsend, their new single, ‘Blinded’, Showcases frontman Ashley Mulimba’s infectious vocal delivery and the band’s knack of dispensing pop hooks on tap, and serves as a quick reminder that Haus will be busy filling venues, airwaves and playlists for a little while yet.

[INTRODUCING] HAUS

It's really weird that we've never really formally introduced you all to HAUS - We first had them on the site with their old tune "Token" and then subsequently a killer remix by Loco of their track "February". They've been hard at work for the past two years refining their sound, adjusting their line-up and are now looking to take the big boys on!


When we checked them out in 2014 at The Horn in St. Albans we loved every second of the show, and when they re-emerged out of the shadows in January of this year we couldn't believe it was the same band! The band were taking their time in the studio for "Haze" and with this self-produced track it shows off the bands newly found sound, Indie-Pop with a dark twist and full of anthematic riffs and uplifting vocal yelps in the choruses.

The band have their sights set on 2016 with the release of some more tunes, then followed by some live shows, but after hearing what they're getting up to we're too damn excited!

For fans of // Peace, Foals, JAWS

HAUS unveil début video for "HAZE"

Haus are an un-signed band we've championed from the early days, they played a show for us in December 2014 and since then they've been working on their new tracks, and this is one of them, "Haze". The video for "Haze", which was shot on VCR and see's the band skate on the south-bank in London to the sound of a blistering slice of indie-rock with electronic influences.

Keep an eye on this guys, they'll be big in 2015!

[TRACK OF THE WEEK] Haus - Haze

Haus are back everyone, and after releasing a bunch of demos in the early days of the band's existence they're back with Ashley on vocals, and might I say the song's well worth the wait! It's been nearly a year since we saw any trace of the band being in the studio and with this self-produced track it shows off the lad's newly found sound, Indie-Pop with a dark twist and full of anthematic riffs and uplifting vocal yelps in the choruses.


After the band recorded the song and produced it themselves they gave it to Cenzo Townsend to mix - who's worked with the likes of Bloc Party and Foals - to give it that added edge. With their first single sounding like it's a resounding success be sure to see these chaps sign a record deal of some sort soon!

They're playing a secret show in London on 20th of August - find out more here.

Sounds of 2015 - #16 - HAUS

HAUS have had a great year, with tours with JAWS to mention as well as their relentless attitude to performing cracking sets, the band has gone from strength to strength this year which has sadly meant their vocalist - Sam - left the band due to university commitments. Ashley has taken over vocal duties and with a few shows under their belt in the re-shuffled line-up they're just getting more and more attention from everyone.


We've had a sneak-peek at their new material and it's a huge jump forwards for them, they've moved away from their Indie-Pop beginnings and now sound like a polished band set on dominating festivals with their infectious hooks and anthematic choruses. The band have their sights set on 2015 with the release of a single first off, then followed by some live shows, even if they continued in their old format they'd be on our list, but after hearing what they're getting up to we're too damn excited, so we booked them for a show!

Come down to The Portland Arms in Cambridge on the 17th of December and party with them, this is the start of big things for the North London band!

10 Of The Best Tracks We Heard This Week (w/e 8th June)

It's that time of the week again, the beginning - BUT if you've feel liked you have missed out on anything we have a quick run down of TEN of the best tracks from the past 7 days. We're nearly half the way through the year too, flip me it's gone quickly!

Anyway, here we go!


Haus - Ceasfire

Last weeks' Track of the week - Their most recent track is a slower track of theirs, "Ceasefire" starts off with the bass and a light guitar, with a burst of vocals and a splash of summery guitar lines coming in after. The track is certainly a laid back number, maybe written while they were touring with Jaws, as it does have a slightly surf feel to it, but one thing is for certain. It's a bright summer anthem that will certainly have you swooning for more from the infectious band from North London.




Pool - What It Is

The electronic trio from Hamburg in Germany are back with a bright new track called "What It Is". We're premièring both the soundcloud stream of the single and their video that they recorded while on tour. With duel vocals layered out thick bass lines, light melodic guitar bursts and tight production this track is one of those three minute gems that you would always play when the sun comes out, it's certainly going to be one of our summer anthems.




Delamere - Do You Want Me? (Frett Remix)

So it looks like that Frett aren't just good at making music, but are also great at remixing others too! They've taken Delamere's track "Do You Want Me?" and have turned it into a track similar to that of The 1975's interlude tracks crossed with Alt-J's oddness.

Certainly a great electronic remix.




The Ting Tings - Wrong Club

Six years later, it's very easy to not think much of The Ting Tings after an identity crisis second album that didn't create half the buzz the first album generated. It's surprising but nice to say the indie pop duo are back with a disco stormer entitled 'Wrong Club'.




Circa Waves - Young Chasers

Circa Waves have a brand new single, "Young Chasers" really does remind us of The Vaccines when they released their first album, a wash of surfy guitars, oohs and ahhs, sweet melodic fuzz and anthematic verses.




Tenterhook - Chemicals

Tenterhook - aka Archie Faulks - is a singer-songwriter who sold out his FIRST EVER show at the famous Jazz Servants Quarters in East London earlier this year. His latest demo is called "Chemicals" and the full version will appear on his début EP which is due out in September.




Cloud Boat - Hideaway

The utter legends that are Cloud Boat have unveiled a brand new track called "Hideaway", we were blown away by their track "Carmine" earlier on in the year and this one simply blows it away. If you could imagine Clock Opera's début (and only) album mixed in with some James Blake production then you have "Hideaway".




Klaxons - Show Me a Miracle

Klaxons are well known for not holding back, and their video for "Show Me a Miracle" has big nods to Kanye's "Bound 2" video, you can clearly see what I'm on about if you watch the video.  Please be sober when watching this, or you'll be freaked out!

Their album "Love Frequency" was out June 2nd, buy it now on iTunes and all good record shops!




Wild Cub - Hold On, We're Going Home

Wild Cub have had quite the 12 months, their début album came out, they've played SXSW, toured with The 1975 and have played their own sell out headline shows too. The guys have had a lot of fun and it easily shows with their cover of Drake's  "Hold On, We're Going Home".




Childhood - Falls Away (Jack Savidge / Friendly Fires Remix)

Jack Savidge of Friendly Fires has taken Childhood's single "Fall Away" and has remixed it and the results are FAB! The track is now a house laden track with added synths and bright electronic bursts, far from the original!

Track of the week... Haus - Ceasefire

We've been fans of Haus for a couple of years now, ever since the early demos we have been big admires of theirs. When we caught them live last year we knew that the six-piece band from North London would be a big hit in the future, and after doing some tour supports including a recent stint with Jaws they're certainly grabbing the attention of the labels and prolific managers and agents.


Their most recent track is a slower track of theirs, "Ceasefire" starts off with the bass and a light guitar, with a burst of vocals and a splash of summery guitar lines coming in after. The track is certainly a laid back number, maybe written while they were touring with Jaws, as it does have a slightly surf feel to it, but one thing is for certain. It's a bright summer anthem that will certainly have you swooning for more from the infectious band from North London.

The lads are currently in the studio laying down some more tunes, playing festivals and shows all over the UK. Do be sure to check them out as I can see them being one of the UK's next big exports in upbeat, fun, and energetic indie music.

Gig Review... HAUS @ The Horn, St Albans, 29th April 2014

We've seen Haus play to a packed crowd in London's Old Blue Last last year, and it was great to catch up with the band when they came to St Albans as a tour support for JAWS. To be honest with you, I was more excited to see the London band more than I was the headliner, and as it turns out they were well worth the mileage I put on my car.

It's always a welcoming feeling when a band member welcomes you to the gig, so even before they played I was eager to see them perform. The band took to the stage after the mighty Lucid played out a tremendous set. They started with an instrumental intro and delved straight into the infectious track "Yankee" which is a track we put up as track of the week last year, after that was a duo of new songs. They both got the crowd moving with the young girls down the front looking upon at Jack (vocals) like a god, seriously they were loving him!

 
After that they played a song off their "Bless" EP, "Green" is a relaxed track compared to the rest of the set, taking a slower BPM than usual but this gave the crowd time to get ready for the foursome of tracks they had lined up. "Luck" was swiftly followed by one of their oldest tracks "Token", which is one of their fastest tracks, it had a real drive and certainly has the crowd moving! The set closed with another newer track "H.O.N.E.Y." and then concluded with "February".

I swear they have the right people interested in them, and after this live performance they are certainly making the right impression. I also want to point out I swear they played a track called "Ceasefire", maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but it was a great half-an-hour set, one of the best I've seen in a while, hence the write up. They're one of the most exciting live bands around, all they need now is a label to take them to the next level

Haus played:
Intro
Yankee
Form
Scoot
Green
Luck
Token
H.O.N.E.Y

10 Of The Best Tracks We Heard This Week (Up to 26th April)

In a new weekly feature that will go out on every Saturday, we round up TEN of the best tracks we've heard this week, weather it be tracks we've heard on soundcloud, tracks we've blogged about or simply demos and new tracks we've been sent. In no particular order they are ...


Delphic - Colours Of The Day

It's a part of their new 'Mixtape' called "Get Familiar", which consists of 7 new tracks over the course of 29 minutes. "Colours Of The Day" was previously a one minute track on their page two years ago and it's great to finally hear the full version. Skip to roughly 14 minutes into the mixtape to check it out.

It's also free to download - see the soundcloud stream below!




In Golden Tears - Pray

It's the last song we are every going to hear from the band, for why? They announced earlier this week that they'll be splitting up and "Pray" is the last track on the "Farewell EP". Their last show is on May 23rd in Hamburg - which we are flying out to - and "Pray" is forever going to be a track we cherish as we've heavily supported the band for a long time. It's everything they're about, a great way to end their career together.

It's also free to download - see the soundcloud stream below!




Bambi - Sheltered Eyes

Bambi - the Camden band - have revealed a brand new song called "Sheltered Eyes" this week, nad we've warmed to it so much that we're going to be featuring it a lot more in the coming week - hint hint #TOTW. It's got such a drive behind it, soaring guitars, atmospheric sounds and warming vocals, certainly one for the summer. And certainly one we've been playing a lot this week!

It's also free to download - see the soundcloud stream below!




The Away Days - Your Colour

The track is yet unreleased but we've been given a sneaky listen to the Istanbul band's latest single and it's one for the summer time for sure! They're playing the Kitsune party in Istanbul on May 17th and they'll be supporting Portishead and Savages on August 20th too. You can check out a 'teaser' for their song "Sleep Well" below - just to give you a flavour of their sound!




Jamie XX - Girl

There's no hiding it, Jamie XX is going to be bigger than his other project - err The XX - very soon, especially when he's producing tracks such as "Girl". Girls," a comparatively upbeat track that really complements the other track on his next single - "Sleep Sounds"- which is out on a double A-side 12-inch out May 7 via Young Turks.




The Neighbourhood - Lurk

The Californian band are back, but this time with a twist. After releasing an amazing EP a few years back they made a record last year that I have to admit, was the best LP I hear all year round! But the band have kept on writing and have got their creative juices flowing one more with their latest release. It's a mixtape called  "#000000 & #FFFFFF" (Black and White for those who're not familiar with the coding).

You can download the track by clicking into this link -- > HERE




Haus - Green

The Indie-Pop band who are based in and around North London have uploaded a track they recorded last year. Titled "Green" it really showcases the bands energy and really captures their live performances well, and yes, once again it's a free download. How nice of them!




As Elephants Are - Went Wrong

When I first heard this song it was called "Taxi Orgy", maybe the risqué name was changed so it was more radio friendly, but when we heard the full version a few days back we got seriously excited for their début EP. Their "Hand Prints" EP is out on the 5th of May, not long now!




Nelson-Type - Daydreams

We found their song "Daydreams" literally by stumbling on another song on soundcloud and this just so happened to be on the 'recommended' list. By the way, that's one of the best ways to discover bands effortlessly, you do find some absolute gems such as this one. The upbeat track from the Buffalo band was uploaded a month ago, but we've been seriously into it this week.

It's also a free download, click the download button in the post yea!




Layla - Black Mud

Layla has revealed a brand new song only just two days ago, but even so we've fell in love with the piano lead, pull-on-your-heartstrings title track from her EP. The track was even produced and mixed by our good old pal Ant West. You can pre-order the EP here! It's out Monday, but do give "Black Mud" a listen to, it's simply stunning, and jaw dropping beautiful, her vocals are just perfect!

N.O.N. remixes Blisseyes and Haus

One of our favourite remixers has remixed two of our favourite up and coming bands. N.O.N. has taken the gothed out track by Blisseyes - "Manson" and has turned it all around into a dark and ethereal track that focuses on Cook's vocals.

He has also tinkled with Haus's latest track "Token". The track is now nearing seven minutes long and now sounds like a track that would sound like it's taken from a Kitsune Compilation CD. The track now is more electronic and focuses on the guitar more.

 
BOTH are freely downloadable, so go grab yourself two stunning remixes!

Track of the week... Haus - Yankee

If we had to give the award for the most up-beat track of the year (so far), it has to go to the lads in Haus. The London based six-piece have been known for making summery Indie-Pop with glorious hooks and great vocals. "Yankee" has pushed them further in the right direction, with the up-tempo song getting them recognised as a force within the local scene.


Their tracks have always been free to download - and this one is no exception - so it just proves that you have to be a well known band to get great music out to the masses. This song has dropped just at the right time, the sunshine is beaming down upon us in the UK and this is just begging to be put into your 'summer time' playlists. Being compared to Peace a lot I can see them do really well on the back of this song!
