    Among The Bones

    We spoke to Split Tapes aka Ben Yates in January about the reasons he likes tape and who he's pretty damn excited about releasing bands not part of the punk tradition of recording onto little bits of plastic. Pink Priest and Among The Bones have recorded a transatlantic love letter to rich drone.  Read on »

    I don't know many people in Japan so I can safely say that Ally and Emma from Sixteen Tambourine records are two of my favourite ones. After wanting to start a label 6 Years ago, they finally got round to setting up a little label and distro last year to release, in Ally's words, "some very kind and gentle" bands who they feel that they're very gifted to be working with.  Read on »

    La Station Radar - basically some people from France who like their music unpolished but with shiny pop hooks hidden inside - have a new CD compilation featuring some bands that we like. We thought we should probably tell you about it. The first of a new series from the label that has previously released the likes of Jeans Wilder, Pink Priest and former band of the day Dirty Beaches, it has new tracks from A Grave With No Name, Cloud Nothings, Blessure Grave, Twin Lion, Ancient Crux, Cough Cool and Deep Sht. Gnarly, noisy and dark, it's the perfect antidote to pointless hype about 'soundtrack to your summer'.  Read on »
