May Releases
The Unkindness of Ravens
The Unkindness of Ravens are Nina Wagner (vox) and Ben Raine (bass & vox). The pair entwine garage rock riffs with raw dance beats to create dark, electronically inspired guitar tunes. Nina and Ben make music with an incredibly punk / DIY ethos, creating everything themselves from their label - Sonic Fire Records - to the music itself.
In no time at all, the pair have gained a good reputation for themselves being compared to bands such as The Kills, The YYYs and The White Stripes. Artrocker Magazine likened them to "a bonfire blowing in the wind" whilst Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music picked-up their "huge" sound.
Listen to a stream of forthcoming single Dead Air HERE.
Fresh Legs
BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank's favourites and Bestival sensations Fresh Legs follow-up on an amazing summer of action-packed gigging, writing and recording with their debut release for Sotones Records.
Fresh Legs’ Julian EP is fun, unabashed indie goodness. You can literally feel Ella’s passion and energy come across with each little explosive track. Step aside music lovers – Fresh Legs have arrived!
Listen to a stream of "Julian" from the EP HERE.
Ex Libras
Underachiever is the second single to be released from Ex Libras' incredible, critically acclaimed debut album Suite(s). The single is out May 10th 2010 on the band's own Wirebird label and it follows a natural progression from their debut single Radar. Underachiever is the sound of a band mature beyond their years, certainly destined for a bigger audience.
Listen to a stream of Underachiever HERE.
Haunted Stereo
Haunted Stereo are an alt-folk/ indie/ experimental six-piece line-up from Southampton.
Creating intricate layers of sound with an array of melodic instruments - including banjo, mandolin, accordion, piano, violin, electric guitar and percussion -, Haunted Stereo are very much about the thrills and fun that is to be had from writing and playing music together.
Now, with a body of great records behind them, Haunted Stereo are ready to release double A-side On A Pin / Lock the Doors. The single truly captures the beauty and intricate sound that Haunted Stereo have honed so well and, more importantly, reflect a band that are ready to make their mark on the UK music scene.
Listen to a stream of "Lock The Doors" HERE.
