Head Fake – ‘I’m Found’

April 10, 2020

The trio who make up Head Fake are a group of semi-anonymous artists who aren’t interested in personal glory; so much so that they barely choose to reveal their faces. Representing London, New Jersey, and Miami, the group prefer to let their music speak for itself and their latest track, ‘I’m Found’, certainly does speak.

Sanya N’Kanta – ‘Can’t Stop Thinking Bout You’

April 10, 2020

‘Can’t Stop Thinking Bout You’ takes an epic journey across the universe by way of the cosmopolitan musical path of artist/producer, Sanya N’Kanta. The track is from his latest record, ‘The Counterfeit Revival’.

Sex People – ‘Sling Slang’

April 10, 2020

If I have any say in the matter, then Sex People will be the next big thing. The latest release from the LA band, ‘Sling Slang’, takes the seeming chaos of their influences, experiences, personalities, and talents, and puts it to music. There’s enough flavour – and then some – to keep even the most jaded pallette entertained.

Activist Kika Angelic Releases Debut Single, ‘Where Are You Jeff?’

April 8, 2020

Producer Zaab Releases Topical Single, ‘Wake Up Everybody’

April 8, 2020

Manchester-born, but now Australian based producer, Zaab, is set to release a very topical new single, this coming Saturday, 11 April. ‘Wake Up Everybody’ has taken its inspiration from the political events of the past five years, and is just as relevant in today’s uncertain times.

The Cry – ‘This Hazy Morning’

April 6, 2020

With more than a hint of Echo And The Bunnymen (very much reminiscent of ‘Pretty In Pink’), The Cry return with their latest single, ‘This Hazy Morning’, the follow up to their previous release, ‘It Is As It Seems’, which came out late last year. The Cry will later this year – all things being equal – release their first LP since 1990.

Shasta – ‘Closer’

April 6, 2020

Maximillian Returns With ‘Still Alive’

April 3, 2020

Michael Pinder – ‘Soar’

April 3, 2020

The video for Michael Pinder’s latest single, ‘Soar’, shot by Rob Fitzgerald, captures him in a beautiful setting – it’s northern California, so it’s raining; he’s not the main character however, he’s merely the narrator, telling the story of a woman’s journey from resignation to overwhelming confidence.

April 3, 2020
