Watch: Red Telephone Unleash New Single/Video "Normal Life"

Cardiff indie rock/psych band Red Telephone have unleashed the video for their latest single "Normal Life".

Speaking about it, vocalist Dec Andrews said:‘‘Normal Life’ draws on dystopian fiction such as 'Brave New World' and 'Blade Runner', exploring a subject's mental capitulation to a life they view as boring and repetitive. We wanted the video to get at this by showing a person stumble upon something that could give them a bit of hope and identity, only for that something to be captured by society at large and turned into some sort of incidental, shallow norm."

UPDATE 02/05/2022: "Normal Life" is our new Single of the Week!

It will be out on May 13, pre-order it here and watch/listen below.

Watch: BODEGA Share Music Video For "How Can I Help Ya?"

New York art-rock/punk band BODEGA have shared the video for their latest single "How Can I Help Ya?".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their forthcoming second full-length album 'Broken Equipment', which will be out on March 11 2022 via WYR? Pre-order your copy here.

Of the track, BODEGA's Ben Hozie writes: "‘How Can I Help Ya?’ was the last track I wrote for the album after all the other tracks had been recorded. I felt like the cinema of the record was missing a certain kind of scene: one where I could give myself and the broken world the benefit of the doubt. We have it start the b-side of the vinyl which is very different than the a-side. The wonder wounded conscious-troubled protagonist of ‘Thrown’ now seeks to voice grace instead of analysis and condemnation. The band matches this new tone with playful, early Beatles-inspired power pop. When we worked out the arrangement, Tai and Adam’s groove and Dan Ryan’s riffs came together almost as quickly as the lyrics. The same is often as true of song as of living: when you try hard you die hard."

Aptly enough, coming alongside word of BODEGA's return to these shores this autumn, 'How Can I Help Ya?' is accompanied by a video shot across the band's recent UK/EU run that hits at the heart of what a fun, powerful live act they've become. Hozie adds, "James Winstanley shot tons of great camcorder footage during our current tour that I edited in the back of the van in between shows. This has been by far our best tour yet ----> The crowds have been so great and the band is having a blast."

Watch: White Flowers Reveal New Single/Video "This is Not"

Preston, UK dreampop/noir pop/post punk/shoegaze band White Flowers (Katie Drew and Joey Cobb) have revealed the video for their new single "This is Not".

The song is taken from their upcoming new EP 'Are You', set to arrive on May 13 via Tough Love. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about it the band explained: “‘This Is Not’ is a song about daydreaming your way out of mundane, claustrophobic situations. As with the rest of the EP, the retrofuturist architecture that adorns our home town has influenced the sounds of the song - beautiful yet grating, comforting yet overwhelming. The lyrics explore the helpless feeling of being stuck in a dead-end situation, whilst also finding new freedom within such a state. To accompany the EP, we have also produced a zine, which can only be purchased at our live shows in May. This has been a way for us to further explore the themes that inspired the songs on the EP and to present our own photographs, drawings and writing in an alternative visual form.”
