With smooth grooves and killer flows, this album has flavours of A Tribe Called Quest making it feel like a lost classic from Hip Hop’s golden era. With over 29 musicians, vocalists and producers involved in the album (including Blue Note’s Ashley Henry and the Cinematic Orchestra’s Sam Vicary), this is their most ambitious project to date. The lead single from the album (I Wonder – feat. IAMDDB & Fox) has already clocked up over 900,000 views on Youtube. Production has been overseen by the band founders Chini and Defty with help from synth wizard Metrodome (LEVELZ). Contributions have also come from the band’s drummer Deese and Pitch 92 (High Focus). This album retains the trademark head nodding beats of the band’s previous releases, but on Jagged Tooth Crook, The Mouse Outfit’s Jazz and Soul influences are even more evident.

Koala’s new single ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ has been getting some fantastic airplay with some major stations picking up the play.

If you like The Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club and The Foals then this is the single for you.

Koala are a four piece Indie band from southern England who draw influence from bands like Two Door Cinema Club and Foals  to create a fusion that has yet to be heard. The  strong, piercing vocals and catchy summery vibes won’t disappoint you. The band consists of:

Billy Gregory – lead singer//rhythm Guitar
Harry knowles – lead Guitar//backing vox
Sam Brent – drums
Fred parrott – bass guitar//backing vox

They all met in their first year of university, Billy coming from Portsmouth and the other three  growing up together in Hertfordshire.

The band would jam songs together in a flat they shared but never took it seriously until their final year of uni. They then started writing their own material and got in the studio and released their first single ‘Backbiting’ in January.

The follow up is the utterly brilliant ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ with its catchy chorus and excellent musicianship it’s sure to springboard the band onto the next stage of their young career.

Cozmic is a name that has been on our radar for a little while now. His infectious tunes have turned our heads and opened our ears, as he impresses within every listen. His new video for “Not Ready for Summer,” is quickly on the way to becoming our seasonal anthem. With a fresh sound, Cozmic takes us a way on his musical journey, and we’re ready to dive deeper…

THE FIREFOXES are a four-piece Seagaze band from New York and New Jersey formed in 2013. Their sound is an oceanic indie rock blend of folk, shoegaze, surf rock, and indie pop. The band has played on stages, both small and large with artists such as Michale Graves (Former Misfits frontman), Kurt Travis (Former Dance Gavin Dance frontman), Sparks the Rescue, Have Mercy, Pentimento, Rookie of the Year, and just this past June, they played at Pittsburgh Pride alongside Jennifer Hudson.

The Foxfires just released two new singles titled, “Don’t Give Up” and “Choose Love.” The latter is a campaign and message the band have been pushing for 4 years to move towards a more empathetic, equal, and balanced future where we see past race, gender, religion, sexuality, or political party and to fully embrace all of humanity. “Don’t Give Up” is an anti-suicide song that the band have been adamant about putting out since the recent deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington.

Eight Piece Americana/Country/Punk outfit The Two Man Travelling Medicine Show are here with the magical EP ‘A Snake’s A Snake’. It is having an absolute blinder of a campaign and it’s not difficult to see why so many stations have picked up on this gem.

Tales of deceit, heartbreak, insanity and black magic to name but a few subjects feature on their debut album ‘Weeding Out The Wicked’ which was released in May 2017 to critical acclaim.

‘A Snake’s A Snake’ is the first offering from album number two, a raw punchy hoedown of a tune, think late 60s Dylan with a great catchy Summery vibe. It’s backed by two equally brilliant tracks that could quite easily be singles themselves.

The band already have a large loyal following on the east coast of England and with numerous festivals and gigs lined up for Spring/Summer 2018 along with the new releases this looks set to grow a lot more this year.

MORE ON CRASH THE DAY

In the traditions of post-punk and dream pop, Motes‘ guitars are rhythmic and noisy, and their melodies are hushed and frail. The group is decidedly Midwestern, though, in their exploration of emotion through imagery and exposition. Their poetry has a kind of existential clarity; and sometimes, through layers and modulation, Motes get messy—but never miss the mark.

On Crash The Day, the trio have kept the spirit of their debut full-length Keep It In The Dark intact (helped by the band returning to Earth Analog studios in Tolono, IL with engineer Colin Althaus at the helm), but that bold and wispy spirit has been both nurtured and challenged to become a different version of itself. There are moments when growth shows itself in the concise tightness of the arrangements, and others in the experimental expanse of the soundscapes. Motes went for the walls and landed one in the stars.

Motes is:

Matt Cohn (drums)
Elizabeth Majerus (bass, guitar, and vocals)
Matt Mitchell (guitar, bass, and vocals)
