Welcome To The World Of Dentcha

Craftily named by one of their founding fathers after a misspelling of ‘denture’, these gig promoters represent those artists lost in the maze of genres and subcultures. Shane Dickinson and Dan Caldwell are both members of Mold, started back in 2016…

Discovery Of The Week: The Van T’s

When your music’s described as the ‘musical equivalent of a John Hughes movie’ (CLASH), you know you’re doing something right. It’s a well deserved allusion for twin sisters Hannah & Chole Van Thompson, who began playing as The Van T’s…

Discovery Of The Week: Bugeye

If you’re looking for a sound that incorporates familiarity with unfamiliarity, look no further than Bugeye. The trio cut their teeth in the late 90s supporting bands like The Cranberries, and they’re back with their infectious indie-disco sound after reforming…

Discovery of the Week: King No-One

York based indie-rockers King No-One are back with a bang with new single ‘Stay Close’. A great track record so far sees previous singles hyped by Huw Stephens and others at 6 Music and Radio X. The five piece have been…

Discovery Of The Week: PLAZA

Genre is often hard to define these days, but Hartlepool newcomers PLAZA have pinned themselves and debut single ‘Totem’ as “post-indie”. I like it, for many the term ‘indie’ is now synonymous with generic guitar music, hipsters and dickheads on…

Discovery Of The Week: Posture

“I’m too young to be so bitter” is the chorus line yawned out in this brand new single from Posture. Backed with jangling surf guitars and gentle snare, these boys from the South coast excel in this five minute debut…
