STAFF PICKS
Tracheotomy – Compulsory Bloodshed (Single)
Label – 1126 Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Nisrin recommends: Tracheotomy continue to induce absolute carnage with their latest single “Compulsory Bloodshed“, disgusting lows and a mad kick lead the charge on a track that is absolutely fucking insane.
Pillow Fort – Them’s Fighting Words (Single)
Label – Cushion Castle
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Leicester/Nottingham emo band are unfurling their next release with its first single. Hoarse emo vocals, quiet tappy turns, and peppy riffs make for a dynamic track. The EP And Words That Say The Same comes out in July on their own little label, just in time for a UK tour with fellow DIY emo project Jumper Boy.
Out Of Love – No Fakes Allowed (Single)
Label – Venn Records
(Spotify)
Joe recommends: London garage rock crew Out Of Love drop another slacker punk anthem with “No Fakes Allowed” that carries on their fine tradition of self-deprecating singalongs and fuzzed up riffery.
Mirabi Frame – Mirage (Single)
Label – Chaotic Noiz
(Spotify)
FOXCORE recommends: Debut single “Mirage” from Mirabi Frame, the latest project by songwriter and guitarist Igor, with the participation of talented Italian Becko immerses you in a world of soulful technically melodic guitars and sonorous synthesizers.
