SPRINTS Air New Single/Video "Literary Mind"

Dublin-based post-punk/garage band SPRINTS have aired the video for their brand new single "Literary Mind".

The song is out today (Aug 31) and follows-on from the ‘Modern Job’ EP which came out in March via Nice Swan Records. Grab it here

With Literary Mind, Sprints share another slice of cathartic, melodic and punchy punk-rock, produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band. The single bookends a busy summer for the band, which included supporting Liam Gallagher in Belfast and a massively popular Glastonbury set. The new run of dates follows two sold-out UK tours. The accompanying video is a feel-good romantic odyssey culminating in the band crashing proceedings with typical exuberance. 

On the new single, Karla Chubb offers the following "Literary Mind is probably one of our most light-hearted songs in Sprints in terms of subject matter, while still exploring something quite close to heart. It's a real deep dive and exploration into the feeling of falling in love, particularly queer love, in which you feel like you've been conditioned to believe a heteronormative way of life is the only "right" way to live, which leads to incredible difficulty and emotional oppression. 

You push these feelings down, ignoring them, praying them away even but eventually with acceptance comes a rush of emotion that you never thought you'd feel. You unlock, finally, what it means to be happy and with it comes the rollercoaster of emotions, hot sweats, fever dreams, happiness, giddiness and excitement that we've tried to capture in the energy and pace of the song."

The Velvet Hands Air New Single/Video "I Wanna Be There"

London based rock n' roll/garage band The Velvet Hands have aired the video for their new single "I Wanna Be There".

The song is taken from their forthcoming second album due for release late 2022. Get it here.

Focused on finding optimism amongst all the agitation, vocalist and guitarist Toby explains: “”I Wanna Be There” is about everybody around you seemingly knowing exactly what they’re doing with their lives, whilst you’re still trying to shake off last night’s hangover and wondering when your life is going to properly start. It’s about looking around and realising that you’ve come much further than you think and that maybe everyone else feels the same.” “It was the first track that we wrote for the album and was the one that guided where we were going. We want to make music that inspires kids to form bands: simple, passionate and energetic.”

The Velvet Hands Air New Single/Video "Holiday In My Head"

London based rock n' roll/garage band The Velvet Hands have aired the video for their new single "Holiday In My Head".

The song was recorded at Cube Studios Cornwall, produced and mixed by John Logan and Jamx Jules, and is the first single from their forthcoming second album due for release late 2022. Get it here.

Speaking about it, guitarist Dan says; "“It’s based on our own experience of the doldrums of being skint, working your arse off to be able to afford a postage stamp sized flat, only to have to shave in the kitchen sink because the landlord won’t fix the one in the bathroom. Take that and then put it in lockdown, it felt like the walls were closing in — very claustrophobic. You can’t escape to anywhere apart from your own daydreams. The song is an anthem of escapism in the modern era”.

Watch: CLAMM Premiere New Single/Video "Monday"

Melbourne punk power trio CLAMM have premiered the video for their new single "Monday".

The song is taken from the band's forthcoming sophomore album 'CARE', set to arrive on August 19th via Meat Machine (Crack Cloud, N0V3L). Pre-order your copy here.

The band's music was already concerned with the woes of the world, but the last two years have added extra urgency to their blown-out, dystopian punk power. They continue to be a clarion call for a generation facing an age of uncertainty, using a powerful brand of bracing punk to deliver a soundtrack for the evicted souls of modern convention.

The band say of the track: "Monday talks about the frustrations of working a job that you feel consumes your life and gives you little reward. It's a dig at those in charge who seem to reap all the benefits without putting in the work. It's about recognising the inequity in certain aspects of the nation."

New Entry: Grace Vonderkuhn Drop New Single "Rock & Roll Gary"

The song is taken from their upcoming sophomore album 'Pleasure Pain', which will be available on August 13th through Sheer Luck Records. Pre-order your copy here.

'Pleasure Pain' is punchy and powerful, a shredding, caterwauling kick to the guts that’s infinitely listenable. Written during a period of awakening in guitarist/vocalist Grace Koon’s life, the album’s ten tracks burst with her masterful guitar playing, throaty vocals and surging choruses. Themes of duality, balance and self-awareness are apparent both in the lyrics and the music throughout the record. 

"Rock & Roll Gary is a ripper. We have to chug water after we play it. Please enjoy." – Grace

London based rock n' roll/garage band The Velvet Hands have released the video for their latest single "Star".

The song is part of our current playlist nad came out last month (April 9) . Get it here.

Speaking about it, the band Said: “Star’ was inspired by someone I met who went on celebs go dating with a genuine intention to find love, only to find herself aghast when the producers started asking her to cause drama. Love was not found but ‘Star’ was. It’s a big two fingers up at reality culture and the selling of ones dignity for fame.”

Finnish indie rock band Pink Chameleons have unleashed the video for their new single "Hot Dog".

The song is taken from their forthcoming new album 'Peace And Love', which will be available on 21st May through Soliti Records. Get it here.

Originally we were planning to have a release party for the single with a public hot dog eating competition with "Hot Dog" playing in loop in the background. Unfortunately that is another dream crushed and obviously it didn't work out.” Pink Chameleons tell us.

Watch: Night Beats Air New Single/Video "Ticket"

Texas garage/psychedelic band Night Beats have aired the video for their new single "Ticket".

The song is taken from their upcoming fifth studio album 'Outlaw R&B' set to be released on 7th May via Fuzz Club. Buy it here.

Blackwell says of the album: “Outlaw R&B is music for the borderless, the free, the outcasts and the forgotten. The outlaw is the runner. Those whose minds aren't sold by perfect pitch and clean fingernails. Through this medium you can escape the confines of mental feudalism and bask in the euphoric glow of psychedelic R&B.” Where the last Night Beats LP was a distinctly polished and soulful affair, ‘Outlaw R&B’ sees the band return to their natural habitat: riotous, acid-fried rock’n’roll to lose your head to.
