Introducing… Dry The River
Many of their songs build from a plucked guitar into roaring, soaring, heavy choruses that drip with golden harmonies. The fact they don’t ponse around in waistcoats and tweed also supports the fact that these guys occupy the rockier side of folk-rock.
Introducing… Real Estate
Combining the lo-fi intelligence of The Shins with the slightly wonky melodic hooks of Guster, the recently-released Days is a blissful, woozy set of indie tunes that wrap you up in a bear-hug of goodwill.
Introducing… MoRo
We chat to up-and-coming London four-piece ahead of the release of their debut album, Slow River. Up for debate: whether they got their name right, and the merits of not being able to play synth.
Introducing… Foster The People
With their perfect synthetic indie-pop, the LA three piece have arrived to hoover up those that were bamboozled by MGMT’s ‘difficult’ second album.

Technically a side-project – the duo are none other than Keane keyboardist and chief -songwriter Tim-Rice Oxley and their touring bass player Jesse Quinn – Mt. Desolation’s roots lie firmly in the [...]
Introducing… Young Empires
Toronto three-piece Young Empires are almost too good to be true. The efficiency in which they blend the stabbing, dancefloor indie of bands such as The Rapture and Friendly Fires, with the aching delivery of LCD Soundsystem has earned the group – who are still unsigned – a following far greater than their meagre 469 [...]
Introducing… I Am Arrows
Coldplay’s Chris Martin has given a lot to music. Some love his output, others loathe it. Whilst holed up masterminding his band’s new album, his influence can still be seen, most recently in the naming of ex-Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows’ band I Am Arrows. “Chris said, I wouldn’t be interested in you if you were [...]
