TRAPS – The Fighter EP

TRAPS are made up of current members of Holy Roar roster-botherers, OHHMS (all hail the riffs) and feel like the indignant and bratty little brother to these Kent-based doom merchants.

Sugar Horse – GakEater

It’s comforting that every Sugar Horse track seems like it could soundtrack the end of the world. If that isn’t a statement to make you want to listen, I don’t know what is.

Ed Fraser – Ghost Gums

Ghost Gums, the debut mini-album from Ed Fraser conjurers up the feeling of walking through a wood on a crisp autumnal evening.

Hawk Eyes – Advice

Advice by Hawk Eyes is a dark, brooding body of work. A concept piece offering guidance, corrupted narrators and bizarre tales of defiance, acceptance and grim determination.

Girl Band – Salmon of Knowledge

It’s brilliant to have Girl Band back on the airwaves – Salmon of Knowledge is the third track to be released from the anticipated The Talkies, out 27 September.

Dead Kaczynski – Mr. Scratch

Dead Kaczynski are a disjointed barrage of noise from Kent and display all the great qualities that make this kind of music so agitated, itchy and down-right engaging to listen to.

Wizard Rifle – S/T

There’s a kind of unholy majesty about the songs on offer here – each of these five tracks feels expansive, monstrously heavy and crams so many ideas and twists within its layers.
