Lovelife release new track "End of the World"

Lovelife have followed up their summer-pop "Nova" anthem with a more melancholy and darker track fittingly titled "End Of The World" as winter sets in. The band performed this live for the first time while supporting Alt-J in the USA.

Track of the week... Lovelife - Nova

They have one of the best sounds in Indie-Pop right now, thick bass lines, choruses that the masses can sing-a-long to and lyrics that you can relate to, unlike much of the 'chart' music these days. After being driven around in a battered old Vauxhall for most of the 90's I already like this song as it reminds me of my young years. Unlike the red tin I was carted around in this "Nova" is a great new song by LA via London foursome Lovelife, who we've been somewhat been following since the early demos.

What's one that sets them aside from others is that they're not ones to tour a lot, and rely on a big social media following. With this loads of blogs, other musicians and even music labels are looking at them with open ears. A fresh new sound with some ferociously catchy songs, for example their single before "Angel". You can even hear some strings in this song, proof that this band isn't afraid of mixing things up when it comes to defining who they are.

They're not a band that copies others, but with this sounds expect loads of other bands soon to be sounding a lot like Lovelife, 2015 will be the year that defines them, but why not jump on the band-wagon now! After hearing "Nova" you might just have to do that!

Earlier in February this year, The Drums posted that album number three was finished. It's been three years since Jonny Pierce and co graced our ears with The Drum's second LP 'Portamento'.

Daily Download... Olivver - Revvival

As Olivver continues to release music, it’s hard not to see an evolution of grieving coming through his music. Whatever happened with The Neighbourhood happened – but it’s obviously going to have a profound effect on someone. This track is made even better considering it's been produced by the charming guys at Lovelife.

Daily Download... Lovelife - America MiniMix

When Lovelive were touring all over America last year they made a MiniMix, and after stumbling upon it yesterday on my usual flick back on soundcloud I found it! It's certainly a great blend of alternative songs, download it! Just do it!!

10 Of The Best Tracks We Heard This Week (Up to May 3rd)

We're back with TEN of the best tracks we've heard this week, once again they're in no special order and features a wide mix of styles. Keep an eye out for the 'free download' icons as some may be available to download.

Enjoy.

Club Kuru - All The Day

Uploaded literally less than 3 hours ago when we published the initial feature, the track from newcomers Club Kuru is simply stunning! The track - "All The Day" really builds up from a simple guitar and drum beats in the first new seconds to something that blossoms into a euphoric electronic track is character. This certainly is a great find, you need to listen to this!




Seoul - White Morning

We've featured the Montreal based band on here before, and for good reasons too! They've not even been around for a full year, but already they're working their way into our hearts with ethereal vocals, smooth guitar lines and shimmering pop hooks.

Grab yourself a free download of the song below - just click on the download icon in the stream.




Lovelife - Angel

The band from London who're currently residing in LA have unveiled a brand new track called "Angel", with Leonard's vocals dominating the track, the light and ethereal synths combined with the acosutic guitar in the chorus gives this track something unique. Who would've thought acoustic guitars and loads of synths would work!




COMPNY - Begging Me To Come

"Begging Me To Come" is the début track from Brighton's COMPNY, it features really good summer vibes to it. A real drive is behind it with piano keys and even some horns can be heard! Not much is known about the band, but from what can hear it's a nice mixture of good old Bombay Bicycle Club and Mystery Jets.




We The Wild - Paper Plane

"Paper Plane" is the first track to be streamed from the duo's forthcoming EP "Vol. II", which is out sometime this Summer. Since we heard from the band last they've toured around the UK with Dan Croll and have got a whole lot more people listening to their music. Check out the laid back electronic track below.




IYES - Toys (Demo)

The hotly tipped Brighton duo have unveiled a brand new song, it's still in demo for but to be honest this can be released tomorrow and it would still sound just as fresh! The band are currently surfing the hype wave and will soon be crashing down into the charts with songs such like as their latest demo. Head over to their soundcloud to grab a FREE download of a Beyonce cover!




Port Isla - Next In Line

As we had their song "Steamroller" as 'Track of the week' we also checked out their EP, and this gem was 2nd track in. "Next In Line" isn't what I'd think of when I think of Port Isla, less folky than their other material yet still has such a summer drive behind it with the silky vocals, piano keys and fresh guitar tones.




Coasts - Golden City

"Golden" is a brand new track from Coasts and it's set to feature on their new EP - "Oceans". The track as a distinctive 90's beat to it, with trembling guitars and oh so danceable rhythms. Scroll on down to check it out.




Cloud Control - Dammit

Cloud Control popped into Triple J to perform a cover earlier on this week, and the band has taken Blink 182's "Dammit" from a utter rock song to an acoustic gem. Watch them perform it below.




The Horrors - Chasing Shadows

Possibly the ONLY way we could finish our TEN tracks of the week. The Horrors' new album was streamed and as soon as the opening track finished we knew we were in love. A FULL stream of the track is below, enjoy!

Lovelife unveil new track "Angel"

The band from London who're currently residing in LA have unveiled a brand new track called "Angel", with Leonard's vocals dominating the track, the light and ethereal synths combined with the acosutic guitar in the chorus gives this track something unique.

Lovelife unveil new track "Everybody Wants To Be Someone Else"

"Dare to dream and feel alive,
Then maybe there will come a time where you're not lonely in your life,
These green eyes have seen better days,
I know the person next to me, feels exactly the same way because.

Everybody wants to be someone else"
