Strangers in My House – Leave It Undefined

Drifting in to my consciousness this week came the debut album from Polish gazers Strangers In My House. This enigmatic four piece from Kraków have released three singles and an EP since forming in 2019. Leave It Undefined is their first long player and looks to develop on that dreamy, shoegaze sound to something allContinue reading “Strangers in My House – Leave It Undefined”

Keeley – Seeing Everything

Dublin based KEELEY return with a new single ahead of their long-awaited debut album. It was this time last year I was discussing the Brave Warrior EP on these very pages.

Keeley Moss, singer, guitarist and songwriter forContinue reading “Keeley – Seeing Everything”

The Men – New York City

The Men have been creating riotous proto punk for over 15 years now. They return with their ninth album and first for Fuzz Club Records. New York City channels the energy and raw power of The Stooges and MC5 morphing into the hard hitting, scuzzy rock ‘n’ roll you would expect from this band. TheContinue reading “The Men – New York City”

Superdrone – Stereoized

It’s two years since the fifth album from Southampton based noise makers Superdrone. This three-piece thrilled us with their widescreen soundscapes and cinematic approach to songwriting. Moving into album six the band have taken the brave decision to release a 22-track double album. I asked the band about this decision and what we should expectContinue reading “Superdrone – Stereoized”

Every time I hear that the Fuzzed Up & Astromoon Records label has a new release my excitement levels go through the roof.

Last Tourist – Last Tourist

I’ve been a fan of Leeds dark gaze band Last Tourist since the release of their 2020 single “Public Service / Are We Just Algorithms?” In my review, which you can read here, I mentioned their influences were bands like Joy Division, Interpol, Suicide, Diiv and The Jesus & Mary Chain. I also made mentionContinue reading “Last Tourist – Last Tourist”

Under The Sun – Ocean Breeze

Matt Catling returns in his Under the Sun moniker with another slice of truly unique experimental shoegaze.

Ocean Breeze is a collection of three tracks where Catling gets to fireContinue reading “Under The Sun – Ocean Breeze”
