Camden Town in north London is renowned for being a bit cool and trendy yet grungy and dirty at the same time, probably best epitomised by it having erected a statue of Amy Winehouse within its iconic busy market. And those characteristics are perfectly apt for describing emerging Camden-based band The Gulps. The quintet of Harry All... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Peace In Protest
Brighton trio Peace In Protest have formed a funky rock sound that, in their words, is "about as heavy as indie gets without being indie" but that phrase doesn't quite do this exciting new band justice. The trio are formed of guitarist and vocalist Ben and drummer Sean, who knew each other from primary school... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Fever Days

Introducing: Indie-rock trio Fick As Fieves launch single ‘English Weather’
Energetic indie-rock trio Fick As Fieves may hail from a sleepy seaside town in Suffolk, but it's impossible not to pronounce their name without sounding like a Cockney wide-boy. Indeed, the band tell us its origin comes from Harry Campbell's (guitar, bass and vocals) Essex-born dad helping them choose it and saying of 'Thick As... Continue Reading →
