Nation Of Language have shared their version of Bruce Springsteen‘s Tougher Than The Rest and will release it on a limited run of 1000 7″ singles on May 29th.

“Like so many young New Jersey residents, I grew up listening to Springsteen, but this song somehow slipped by me during that formative era,” Ian Richard Devaney said. “I was really only exposed to it within the last few years, and it’s followed me around since then.”

I can remember finishing a particularly emotional show somewhere deep in last year’s

Running parallel to the mechanical part of the recording process was the melding of Johnny Lynch/Pictish Trail into less separate identities.

At first it’s easy to misread, as we’ve all done it.

By ‘it’ we mean binged on grunge, listening to In Utero at least three times in a row, or playing Mudhoney’s Touch Me, I’m Sick at the sort of volume which has the neighbours threatening to call the police.

But wait. This is in fact our bad, because in the background information which comes with his latest album, Johnny Lynch (AKA Pictish Trail) openly admits to, ‘Over …

Isaac Holman details his third Baby Dave album.

Isaac Holman has returned to his, ‘deeply therapeutic’, Baby Dave project and will release the new album ‘billy’ on May 1st.

This latest record follows the restart of Soft Play in 2024, and is being previewed with the single ‘am i clean???’.

“I have pretty severe ocd,” Holman has said. “It makes me do things I don’t want to do and think about things I don’t want to think about.”

It’s torturous. It’s exhausting. At times it’s hilarious. It makes absolutely no sense. This is a song is about ocd and the

“This album is over three years in the making, and finally listening back to it all at once, about to release it to the world, I am so damn proud of every second of it,” Amy Lee has reflected.

It’s overwhelming. Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and

Throughout ‘A Wave That Will Never Break’ each WU LYF member has brought a refined musicality that elevates the material beyond their early rawness.

In the early 2010s, WU LYF were the band to watch.

The Mancunians earned lavish praise for their live performances, and respect and attention for their mystique.

They refused all record label approaches and self-released their debut album Go Tell Fire To The Mountain in 2011, and steadfastly refused to play the game: no interviews, photoshoots that didn’t show their faces, all while building up a cult following.

Then, they just stopped.

The Reytons have confirmed the release of their new album A Love Letter To A Broken Town on July 24th.

The album has been described as, ‘the best we’ve ever done’, by frontman Jonny Yerrel, and is being previewed now with lead single Jukebox.

“A lot of bands and artists like to change direction later in their careers, but that’s just not us,” Yerrel added.

We absolutely love the style of music we make, the social commentary aspects and the people who turn up to jump around with us. Why would we change?

After returning with the Terrestrials single last month, Pond have now announced the details of their new album of the same name.

‘No Pink Floyd shit’ was the order of the day as the band set to work, fuzz pedals and anything starting to resemble a ballad thrown out of the window in favour of a post-punk sound inspired by the likes of Sisters Of Mercy and Magazine.

“This song is about when mining company Rio Tinto blew up Juukun Gorge in the Hammersley Range in Western Australia,” …
