Hot new tracks

Gauntlet Hair – I Was Thinking…

COLORADO duo Gauntlet Hair have unleashed this loud and jagged belter, full of distorted vocals and the tinniest of guitar melodies. There may be only two of them but Gauntlet Hair manage to transform themselves into a tour-de-force of wonderful noise. This is a fantastically layered song that progresses into something huge. This band has a promising future.

Sage Francis – The Best of Times

IT’S difficult not to like the uplifting The Best of Times. Sage Francis opens up the first chapter of his young life and leads the listener on a journey of love, pain, heartache, hope and the future. It may be a little corny but Sage is on top form as ever and has arguably come up with his breakthrough UK hit.

The National – Afraid of Everyone

KICKING off with an accordion and a brooding guitar riff, The National’s haunting Afraid of Everyone explores the depths of the soul. Matt Berninger’s howling vocals propels, as ever, The National’s work onto another level. It’s epic and just whets our appetite for High Violet even further. We are in for one hell of a treat.

The Futureheads – Struck Dumb

THE Futureheads are safe bets. Sure, they’ve not really changed since their self-titled debut in 2004 but their post-punk style and working class sing-a-long choruses will always ensure a damn good listen. 0/10 for originality, 10/10 for enjoyment.
