Rat City – ‘Deliriously Good’

September 18, 2019

Norwegian trio Rat City are as unusual as their name. They’ve got the style and swagger required to ensure immediate success, and are more than just a household name in their home country, where they have held the place for #1 record on the radio and the Top 10 Spotify in Norway, as well as being on the Top 5 Shazam for over ten weeks. Their new single, ‘Deliriously Good’ does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s good. Deliriously so.

Mother Yeti – ‘My Best Please’

September 18, 2019

Mother Yeti are as elusive as the Himalayan Cryptid for whom they are named. First spotted in the Pacific Northwest circa 2012, their numbers have varied between two to as many as five members over the years. Their latest single, ‘My Best Please’, has a sound as hard to pin down as the band themselves, and ranges between punk, psych rock, and RnB. One thing we know for sure however – we love it.

Diesel Park West – ‘Scared Of Time’

September 17, 2019

There’s something ironic in the fact that Leicester’s Diesel Park West have named their latest single, ‘Scared Of Time’.

One Two Ten – ‘Heathers’

September 17, 2019

‘Heathers’, from Oklahoma City band One Two Ten, isn’t about a snobby clique of high school girls, but rather about a girl who’s living a bit too much of her best life. It’s an upbeat song – but there’s a sombre message.
