White Room reveal "Freaking On" video

After opening for Paul Weller, MIles Kane and performing at multiple major UK festivals, the Brighton quintet have today revealed their video for their epic track, "Freaking On".

The video brilliantly charms to deceive you into, for what will be for some, a self-reflective viewing experience using brilliant cinematography and tongue-in-cheek humour. You can watch it in all it's glory below.

[LISTEN] Spring King - Rectifier

Spring King will always seem to be one of those bands that produces energetic hits after another, and their new track "Rectifier" could easily be the best yet! The single is released via Island on the 25th of March and heralds a new era for the band on a new label. The track also seems like it's the first song off their début album, which is due out later on this year. It was also premièred on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show earlier on tonight.

Spring King have literally re-sprung up here and will be a dominant force both on the live scene and when it comes to sheer hype on the net! You can hear the pulsating new track below.

Single Review...AZTECS - Black + White

It's amazing how quickly six months can just pass you by, I first posted about indie pop duo Aztecs back in the middle of May. Now I find myself here mid November, in a darkened room, wind and rain pounding against my window with only the gloom of my Mac illuminating the path where my fingers should type, writing about their next prismatic musical installment 'Black + White'.

"Prismatic - (of colours) formed, separated, or distributed by or as if by an optical prism", "A flash of prismatic light on the edge of the glass"

The above is definitely a fitting definition to this vibrant 80's inspired indie-synth-pop belter, I'm not usually one for pinning a label on a bands identity or sound but prismatic pop certainly has a ring to it...right?





It was always going to be a challenge when following up to their debut single 'Bad Blood'. Having already stamped down their identity with a catchy synth based pop foundation, this coupled with an ever growing buoyant fan base it was never going to be easy for the Ashbourne based duo. 

I am pleased to say 'Black + White' doesn't disappoint in the slightest. It retains the bands identity but packs a punch with bright and colourful lyrics, emphasising their flair and passion for songwriting which is more apparent than ever before. Add this track to their back catalogue and already you can see the makings of an exciting set list as they hit the road. 

On the 9th of December Aztecs will embark on a nationwide run of shows starting at London's Buffalo Bar, If you are in the area I suggest you get yourself along, it promises to be an evening of electrifying live music!

Ahead of the curve... Adnan Kurtov

Hello all, been a while, but to create some posts I have decided to re-introduce this sub-section. Today it is the turn of Adnan Kurtov.

He is from the Republic Of Macedonia, Veles to be exact. He is a up and coming Power-pop / Art-pop artist, with his signiture track titled 'I Follow You' having got some notice in his homeland he sent a email to me to get his profile up a notch. With flowing lyrics, twisting bass coming in and out of the drum beats and a touch of the guitar he has managed to create a track that can be played in any nightclub.
