Stumps Announce Debut LP 'All Our Friends', Stream "I've Had Enough"

Sydney indie-rock/alt punk band Stumps have announced the release of their debut full-length album 'All Our Friends'. 

The 12-track record, featuring their new single "I've Had Enough," will be out on December 4th via Cooking Vinyl. Pre-order your copy here.

All Our Friends is a genre-bending album that plays on contrast and juxtaposition. A diverse collection of songs that explore a milieu of beauty with an underbelly of addiction, depression and abuse.

If not for its lyrical weight, many of the songs soar and float into elation, yet never do the tracks feel ungrounded. There is a balancing act being performed in each song that allows humour, contemplation and joy to shine, without ever overcorrecting into obnoxiousness. It is a love letter that criticises and analyses one’s self and one’s environment, with musical expanse and determined lyricism.

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for "I've Had Enough" below.

All Our Friends tracklist:
02. I've Had Enough
03. This Is Why We Fall Apart
04. Makes Me Alright

Watch: Coach Party Unleash New Single "Really OK on My Own"

Isle of Wight indie rock/pop band Coach Party (formerly known as Jeph) have unleashed their new single "Really OK on My Own".

Speaking about it, lead singer/bassist Jess Eastwood says: "It’s all about being so in love with someone, that you start blowing off your friends to spend time with just them. However, there’s always that fight, where when you love someone so much, you also think of the possibility of suddenly ‘would you be ok without them?’ Then there’s the chorus of ‘does she even know you’re here’ - this is relating to a scenario where you’re with someone who’s already with someone else, and you’re always comparing yourself to them: ‘do I make you feel better’. Generally touching base on how complicated love is, and where your thoughts can spiral."

The song is out now via Chess Club Records. Get it here and take a listen below.

New Entry: Stay Lunar Premiere New Single "Not Your Fight"

Swindon/Bristol indie pop band Stay Lunar have premiered their new single "Not Your Fight".

Speaking about it, the band told Clout: “Not Your Fight’ is actually quite a dark song about trying to help someone with an addiction – but luckily, in typical Stay Lunar fashion, we’ve turned a difficult topic into something that we feel is a really up-beat and fun to listen to. We really love the idea of people both being able to dance to our songs and listen with headphones on their beds at night while they’re feeling all reflective about life.

UPDATE 02/11/2020: "Not Your Fight" is our new Single of the Week!

I guess that sums up the contrast between writing and performing for us, the writing is very personal and emotional, whilst the performing is a real release and a huge amount of fun, so we hope that comes across in our music.”

The song is out tomorrow (Oct 30). Grab it here and take a listen below.
