About Elli Brazzill

I’m Elli, 20 and live in Manchester. I like good music, gigs, rice krispies, 7” singles and puns. Alex G, Day Wave, Jaws, Talking Heads, Best Friends, Mac DeMarco, The Strokes, Parquet Courts and Tyler the Creator are pretty cool aren’t they. @cometobrazzill on twitter.

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…

Discovery of the Week: Pure Joy

If you’re on the hunt for almost six minutes of unpredictable, compelling and sometimes bizarre music then, my friend, you have come to the right place. Often when one door closes another opens, and that seems to be the case…

It’s a homecoming show for Manchester’s main girl Shura tonight. Born in London but raised Northern by her Russian/English parents, Aleksandra Denton has been making and producing her own music since life as a teenager. After years of collaborations and…

Discovery Of The Week: Chupa Cabra

With a name like Chupa Cabra, the last place you’d be expecting this three-piece garage-rock band to be from is North Wales. Who knew dark and damp Wales could summon connections to the warm and dry lands of Latin America….

Discovery of the Week: Space Captain

New York seems to be the place to be at the moment. Its legendary music scene is ever producing fantastic new talent, whether it’s fuzz rock or jazz-infused soul. And it’s the latter that has been dazzling my eardrums this…

Discovery of the Week: BÊTE

Innovative and inventive band names are harder and harder to come up with. Using multiple letters or numbers to differentiate yourself is becoming the norm, for example Chvrches or even A$AP Rocky. However, this week’s discovery have gone a step further……
