Introducing… The Staves
Like many sibling groups it is when the girls break into their delicately woven harmonies that they shine. They combine guitar parts that resonate with tonality and implausibly beautiful vocals.
Introducing… Howler
It’s not surprising then than that this cheekboned US five-piece specialise in no-frills, fuzzy indie-pop that links them very much to the lineage of The Strokes. The constant wearing of Converse doesn’t help matters either.
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… Young Empires
After their whistlestop European tour we let you in on Toronto’s best kept secret: the mightiest musical magpies of the last decade have arrived.
Introducing… Ivan & Alyosha
We meet Seattle’s brightest new things in preparation for the February release of their new EP. With a full-length also planned for next year, you’ll be hearing far more from Ivan & Alyosha.
Introducing… Freelance Whales
New York five-piece Freelance Whales actually released their debut album Weathervanes over in the U.S in August of 2009, but has only recently become available over here in blighty. Now that we can get our grubby little mits on it, I would urge you to do so. Acoustic guitars spare with more electronic, experimental instrumentation, [...]
Introducing… Joshua Radin
Although released in the U.S in 2008, Joshua Radin’s second long-player Simple Times has only just reached our shores here in the UK. The Ohio-raised singer-songwriter has been gently nudged in the right direction by celebrity fan Zach Braff – who has directed a number of his videos – but give Simple Times a quick [...]
Introducing… Frightened Rabbit
I’m by no means what you would call a photographer, but there are few things that inspire me to take photo’s more than the way that light squeezes it’s way through the clouds. Now that April is nearly upon us today really felt as though the last of winter was packing up it’s things, ready [...]
