[LISTEN] Texxcoco - La Nueva

If Hinds were flying the flag for mainland Spain, then Texxcoco are the Indie darlings of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic. After getting in touch with us via Facebook we couldn't believe how catchy this track in particular was! It's got 90's Garage-Rock edges laced with Surf-Pop sensibilities. I guess growing up and living on the sunny island of Gran Canaria has rubbed off them.

Summer is here and it's in the shape of "La Nueva" by Texxcoco, listen below.

[DAILY DOWNLOAD] Pure Morning - Stirling

Today we came across a lovely surf-pop track laden with shoegaze riffs, echoing and distorted vocals and a really anthematic guitar tone. Maybe it's a love song to Man City's new transfer singing, maybe it's cigarettes, but all we know is that it's a rush of pure Indie-pop, wrapped up and ready for the sun!

[WATCH] Youth Club - Breathe

‘Breathe’ is the new video from indie-pop six-piece ‘Youth Club’. Signed to Lab records, this Southend band are already paving their way in the music scene with numerous catchy songs embellished with summery vibes. ‘Breathe’ is yet another one of these songs, focused on the never ending guitar riffs which have a very Two Door Cinema Club feel to them, it is inevitably a dancey tune. Gerarrd’s lead vocals ensure that there is a chilled element to the track which enables the verse vibe to be relaxed, in preparation for the very different energetic, singable chorus. 


The line ‘I feel like I can’t breathe, I’m underwater losing time,’ rings in one’s head throughout the track, ensuring that all can sing along to the track whether they are familiar with it or not. The summery feel is continually reinforced, especially during the instrumental where the guitars become the main focus of the track and drive the tune even more.
Overall, ‘Breathe’ is an extremely, fun and dynamic track which is undoubtedly a festival crowd pleaser.
Youth Club are playing Standon Calling, Y Not Festival and Underground Festival this summer, with hopefully more autumn shows to be announced soon.

Check out the new video for Breathe below:

[LISTEN] Hinds - Chili Town

Spanish Indie-rockers Hinds have revealed a brand new track called "Chili Town", which is lifted from their up-coming début album.

Speaking about the track the band said...
"Chili Town was born in a Friday afternoon.
While drinking sangria we realized that if our songs were battles, we'll always end up being the injured soldier. Rhen we were like "fuck it dude, why are we always the weak one in our lyrics??? "hat's wrong with us???" 


so yeaaaaahhh we made it! we wrote a winner song! ...right? "Chili Town" was written exactly in the same place and way we wrote our first song ever, AND is gonna be released exactly with the same team that took care of it : Lucky Number music in Europe and Mom and Pop in the US. You can't imagine how proud and excited we feel smile emoticon .
It will belongs to our DÉBUT ALBUM"

Introducing... Clay

In October last year we gave you an exclusive first play of Clay's début track "Sun Dance", and since then the Leeds foursome have gone from strength to strength. Playing shows all over the UK, including at some brand new scenes such as Hertford, they're pioneers in the making.  So to the band itself, they're first track "Sun Dance" is a real summer jam with some soulful flairs and beautifully held vocals laced with echoes of early Indie-Pop. They've had a sudden uprising as the one and only Zane Lowe has hand picked them for his 'Next Hype' section.


They're certainly a band that knows how to brand themselves, and they're one of the few bands that gets the whole social media thing - and trust me, these days it's a good thing! Clay are one of the hottest properties on the 'un-signed' market right about now, with shows dotted all over the UK they're sure to be popping by yours soon, and trust me, if you like what you hear now - you'll love what they're going to be doing soon!
