Bladderwrack - Troll

Bladderwrack are trolling us with their newest single Troll. Bladderwrack play uncompromising songs in an uncompromising way, about things that uncompromisingly piss them off. Two people, two instruments, visceral noises and unflinching lyrics. The band says that they "wrote and recorded the song and video for Troll remotely in lockdown as a response to reports of troll farms run by Putin to impact political decisions in the UK and US, Trump’s rampant trolling of anything and everything that doesn’t fit his agenda, and trolling of our own music on Facebook etc by various gammons and other idiots."


Bladderwrack is a 2-man rant rock band from Penge playing protest music in its purest form. They were formed as a reaction to the repellent events and specimens dominating the headlines and media, and each 2-minute song is a tirade directed at a deserving muse. Bladderwrack features a Victorian undertaker playing a battered 12-string acoustic guitar through an ancient bass amp via a concoction of abusive pedals, and bellowing furiously through an overdriven microphone. Providing the thunderous backbone to this murderous noise is a gravedigger who howls ferociously while punishing his drum kit.

In two words : Must Listen !!!

Nine Lives - Cutthroat Friends


Cardiff based band Nine Lives just released their debut single Cutthroat Friends. This is garage rock, but not as you know it. Listen for relentless riffs and hard hitting drums contrasted by ghostly leads that carry the sounds into a whole other dimension.The overall sound suggests influences from early Queens of the Stone Age records, with a main riff that brings to mind bands such as Fu Manchu and Turbowolf.


Drummer Hero Fancett and guitarist/frontman Topher Hughes have been working hard on this project for almost two-years! They describe themselves as a 'power duo posing as a power trio' after repeated difficulties with their line up lead to the decision to continue as a two-piece. For live performances the band uses a complex array of effects and amplifiers to emulate the sound of synths, bass guitars and even a second guitarist all playing simultaneously.

In one word : Excellent !!!

The creation of producer and songwriter Kyle Nuss, Atomic Bronco blends an interesting mix of indie, alternative, garage rock, lo-fi and classic rock.

Garrow Hill - Heartache for the Heartless


UK-based rockers, Garrow Hill, release their second single Heartache for the Heartless an indie-rock tune with a twist. A mix of Hard Rock/Metal with classic American Rock style and Grunge.

Patient Lounge - Useless


Brisbane prog-rock band, Patient Lounge, just released their newest rock’n’rolling alt-rock tune Useless, engineered by Bernie Wedrat (Chris Lord-Alge, Tom Lord-Alge, Michael Brauer) at Lush Recording Studios (The 1975, The Butterfly Effect, Katy Perry) and mastered by Ted Jensen (Billy Joel, Green Day, Mastodon).

Useless is Patient Lounge’s hardest rocking track yet, with angular grooves, crunching tones, 2 guitar solos and a huge breakdown to close the song out. As always, Patient Lounge focused on capturing real, dynamic performances in their recording process, taking full advantage of the quality gear at Lush Studios and being firm on their vision for authentic recordings. 


Growling above the punchy drums and splitting guitar leads, singer Zach’s inimitable vocals lament the anxiety that a broken relationship brings: Lines like “I can weigh the fear in pounds if time, scales heavy bend my spine” are an insight into the impact lack of trust can have on the psyche, and how far-reaching it’s effects can be.

In one word : Excellent !!!

THS - Down The Rabbit Hole


New York rockers THS have just released their latest single Down The Rabbit Hole. It's a authentic, classic rock song with catchy melodies and rhythm, a song that you will listen to a lot of times and never get bored. 

The band says about the track : "Down the rabbit hole, a story about what the media feeds the human brain. During the Covid sessions every time you turned on the news it seemed the media was so divided every network was selling something different. It was up to the watcher to come to a reasonable answer as to what was going on in the world. Whether it was Covid, Politics, Hometown stories it was all so dividing. We, the band, as level headed as we try to be felt, we do not want to go down this rabbit hole of deceit and anger. We were trying to come to a sensible definition of what was going on in our world. What better way than to write it out and purge these unwanted feelings. Down the Rabbit Hole, Where I don’t wanna go!!!"

In two words : Highly Recommended !!!
