Fronted by Mira Lu Kovacs, Christian Grobauer (drums) and Walter Singer (bass) – Schmieds Puls are an Austrian outfit who have been making waves in their home territory for some time. Spanning genres, refusing to be pigeonholed and being politically outspoken, particularly regarding Mira’s feminism has cemented them as one of the countries…
Here’s another act we have been absolutely loving over the last eighteen months – Peterborough’s Airways. Having just arrived back from a European headline tour, the four-piece find themselves on the brink of something huge with their new single ‘Alien’.

London based, alternative pop in nature the four-piece have given the world shimmering piece of sun-drenched guitar pop with their first single ‘Free Yourself. The track is a musing on the“inevitable expiration of…
The twenty pound Halfords pop up tent I bought last minute holds well for the first night, but traps water like a pair of non-breathable waterproof trousers. It’s also not long enough for me. I’m glad I had a relatively tame night as I’ve got a big day ahead. I find the toilet related puns…
Following the release of their debut album Sci-Fi Television, New Jersey’s hottest rising indie-punks The Nectars have shared the video for the opening track ‘Holy’.
