[IAI PREMIERE] Compact Disk Dummies - Holy Love

We première Belgian electro-pop (or electro-punktrashclashrock as they style it...)  duo Compact Disk Dummies’ stomping new single ‘Holy Love’, which is as catchy as it is sexy.  Lennert and Janus Coorevits may well come from the low countries of Europe yet it is downtown L.A. you envisage when you close your eyes and listen to this tune, slowly drifting by in a haze of lights as you cruise downtown in a convertible.

On production duties is Gareth Jones of Depeche Mode and Erasure fame, and Shameboy, who has previously worked with Belgian pop icon Stromae. This clash of ‘80s synth music and euro-dance infuse the track with an infectious pop element, whilst the brothers Coorevits add a veneer of modern cool. Horns, cowbell, sharp synths and pumping basslines provide the bed on which the rich vocals flourish.

‘Holy Love’ is the first single from their forthcoming ‘Silver Souls’ album which is being released on N.E.W.S records on 6/05/2016, the label having boasted tracks from the likes of Netsky, Disclosure and Nora En Pure in recent times, esteemed company no doubt. Listen to the track below:

Having the stream for their track premièred last week, the guys at SPEARS have given us their video to première, and boy it's a fine one! I wouldn't want to be the one to point out the obvious, but there is a forest involved, however it fits in perfect with the whole tone of the track. The protagonist in the clip goes from being lost with himself, heading out into the wilderness and in doing so finding out who he really is.

Formed in Sheffield, SPEARS were launched to the world at last year's Great Escape Festival. Fronted by 17-year-old Rowan Scott, SPEARS have wasted no time attracting the right attention with their first single 'Little White Lights' lighting the touch paper, and with "The Forest" out now too, they're going to be fast approaching stardom!

[LISTEN] Tsars - Open Space EP [IAI PREMIÈRE]

Today we bring to you Tsars new and brilliant EP, "Open Space". "Open Space" is a collection of songs written whilst studying at separate universities, and is a product of Tsars working together whilst at different ends of the country. After studying they came back home to record it with Chris Coulter of Homeless Music (Arcane Roots, Empire, In Dynamics).

The EP comprises of six tracks and it varies from the upbeat, as heard in "Loose Ends", "Scene Two" and "Take You Out" - as well as a rather laid back number as the centrepiece of the EP called "Kings" which showcases the band's diversity when it comes to the tracks they lay down.  "Zeibekiko" is the last track and it's well worth another play right away, pitching in at five minutes long it sums up the EP in one huge track, part ballad, part rock and part anthem all in equal measures.

Tsars EP "Open Space" is out 31st January 2016 - you can listen to the EP in full below.

[IAI PREMIERE] Marsicans unveil 'Arms of Another' video

The Leeds-based indie quartet have given us an exclusive look at their brand new video and we can now reveal it to you!

Describing themselves as "upbeat indie that meets dirty pop", Marsicans manage to capture a tropical, sun-kissed melody once again in Arms of Another but subsequently also going on to create similarities to old school indie bands like The Maccabees too. The single is just another promising release from a band who have been putting their foot in the door for a very long time - we managed to stumble across this band at the BBC Introducing stage at Reading Festival four years ago.

The video offers a fly-on-the-wall kind of approach following the band through many live gigs and capturing any of those key backstage moments. It's clear from the video that the band are starting to become their own more than ever and are building on the identity that so perfectly fits for them. Giving the sense that this is a new chapter in the band's career, Arms of Another and its video seems celebratory and fulfilling, though it's about the new for human need and companionship. Take your time to listen to the lyrics and you'll hear James Newbigging telling a story in a unique, unfiltered way.

Arms of Another is released on January 29th through Love vs Fear records. It is confirmed that Marsicans have a series of releases set for 2016 but there's no better way to kick it off than with this song which can clearly hold the lead.

Take a few minutes out of your day to watch this video and get to know one of the best Leeds bands around. There's a reason we have been keeping our eye on them for four years.

You can keep up with the band and check out tour dates here.

[LISTEN] Soul Gem - Sante Fe (Patawawa Remix) [IAI PREMIÈRE]

Patawawa are a trio who thrive within the genres of funk, soul and disco. Today we've got their remix of Soul Gem's "Sante Fe", which as you'd expect from the Derbyshire band, is laden with groovy basslines, a huge and thick synth as well as some bouncy vibes that are screaming to be in a tent at a dance festival.

Patawawa are seriously good at making some of their own bangers, and with this remix I think Daft Punk have some serious competitors now as far as groovy dance tunes go!
