Pacific - State Of Mind (2021)

Pacific are a Manchester-based four-piece who are carving their own arena in the industry with their unique blend of alternative, piano-infused rock and indie nuances. The band consists of brothers and songwriters Anthony Orzel (vocals/piano) and Daniel Orzel (synths/bass/backing vocals), plus Dave Bithell on guitar and Drew Burns on drums/percussion. They've been going for about five years now, and have been garnering praise for their singles, being played on BBC Radio 1 by Huw Stephens, and recently being added to Apple Music's Breaking Rock playlist. With an appetite for anthems, the band's electrifying singles have resulted in a strong fanbase, with both 'Puzzle' and 'Alibi' being released in 2021 to positive reviews, and they have helped to gain the band a new raft of supporters. Adapting to the times, Pacific have been in 'virtual' high-demand, releasing a cover video series in partnership with Blackstar Amps titled '90 Sec Anthems', and they were invited to play virtual live sets throughout 2020, including Liverpool Sound City's 'Guest House'. They have been posting songs to Soundcloud since they began, and there are now enough on there for them to include on a debut album, but once again, as they haven't got around to doing it themselves, I've done it  for them.

Fat Pablo - Percolator (2020)

Fat Pablo are a six piece neo-psychedelic space band from Dublin, who take their influences from 60’s psych rock, modern hip-hop, and post-punk, and have been compared to Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Grizzly Bear and King Krule. Rooted in an underbelly of hip hop inspired bass and drums, the psych guitars, synths and cinematic visuals create a compelling space for Dave Barrett's lamenting soulful vocals. The band take great care to create an audio-visual experience for the listener, with dedicated artist Ross Ryder working closely with them during the writing process to build bespoke aesthetic narratives for each song. They posted a number of songs on Soundcloud throughout 2019 and 2020, of which 'Ganki' is perhaps the band's most polished track, with a notably shining and more confident structure, and juxtaposing woozy lyricism with moments of heavier riffs as a backdrop that's embellished by twinkling keys. 'Shambala' is an extra-sensory delight, in which sound, production, songwriting, and visuals are all connected, opening in gentle, sparse territory before building into something supreme, while 'Darts' has some excellent, though subtle, synth work throughout the track and some clever use of a guitar's feedback sound. There's been nothing posted for over a year, so not sure if they're still going, but three months ago some songs from their former incarnation as Beach appeared on their Soundcloud page, so that might be an epitaph for Fat Pablo. They've left behind enough music for an album, though, and so as a tribute to a fine band, here it is.

Palm Honey - Stick The Knife In (2018)

Joseph Mumford (vovals), Ayden Spiller (drums), Harrison Clark (guitar/synth) and Sebastian Bowden (bass) all met on a music course at Reading college and started jamming together, and it worked, so they formed Palm Honey. They are influenced by bands such as Stereolab, Sonic Youth, Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, as well as Brian Eno, and try to incorporate experimental elements into catchy pop music. Their music is a swirling haze of chilled-out beats, dual vocals and less-is-more guitars, with hints of Tame Impala and the psych-pop sounds that have come out of the Heavenly Records stable in recent years. They've been uploading songs to Soundcloud for a number of years, and even released a 7" single through Flying Vinyl, as well as getting one of their demos featured in the NME, but after gigging and recording for four years they broke up in February 2018, although not before leaving behind enough music to make an album of superb modern psyche. Spiller is still releasing music under the name of J M Hatley, but for now you can listen to this and appreciate another great unknown band who never quite made it.

Hey Bulldog - Al Lupo (2019)

Hey Bulldog are a three-piece garage rock band from Manchester, comprisong Rob Manton (guitar/vocals), Matt Parry (bass) and Ben Howarth-Lees (drums). Early single 'Al Lupo' was a garage-psych whirlwind of a song, with driving, interesting rhythms, and great guitars, and first alerted me to the band in 2018. More singles followed, all in the same garage-y vein, until the 7-minute 'No Future (Part II)' appeared in 2019, being a fabulous extended psychedelic (mostly) instrumental piece, introducing psych, blues, and rock to the mix. It is this genre blending that makes the band stand out against a sea of often repetitive bland indie that has saturated the Manchester scene in recent years, and their last single 'Death & Greed' from a year ago is their heaviest song to date. The band now have enough material for an album, and there were plans for one to be recorded last year, so while we wait for that, here's the album they could have released a year ago.

Llovers - Feeling Sound (2020)

Llovers was formed in October 2016 by two friends who worked together in their local McDonalds. Jack Brooks had previously played with Violet Deep and Coquin Migale, and Joe had been part of KIDD, as was fourth member Marty, while David McNab was also in Violet Deep, and with Brighton band Capture. They spent the summer jamming, and decided to become Llovers, under which name they released their first single 'Borderlands' just one month after coming together, and the sumptuous, swooning four-minute mix of shoegaze, dreampop and jangly pop shimmer made them a band to watch in 2017. 'Feeling Sound' followed in that year, which felt like a shimmering b-side from French band Phoenix, and there are also more straight-forward pop moments, like on 'I Don’t Mind', which fidgets with jagged guitar riffs and twinkling electro-beeps. 'Just Lust' and 'Honestly' appeared over the next couple of years, with 'Just Lust' starting out like a more out-there version of Foals' epic 'Spanish Sahara', before exploding in a similarly volcanic fashion. 2020's 'I Don't Want To Be Alone' might sound like a plea against self-isolation in this year of the pandemic, but it was actually written in 2019 and is about the dependency we have on each other and how this can lead to anxieties about loneliness. The Teesside band have now posted enough examples of their infectious blend of alt-pop, smooth harmonies and dreamy guitar work on Soundcloud to release their debut album if they'd wanted to, so in preparation for the real thing, here's the first long-playing offering from the band.

Little Quirks - Covers (2020)

I posted a proposed album from Australian folk trio Little Quirks at the beginning of the year as part of this series promoting new bands,and I mentioned in the notes that when they started out they used to busk at food markets, playing covers from The Cranberries, Of Monsters And Men, and Vance Joy. After they'd started to write their own songs they still liked to play covers for fun, often filming themselves and uploading the results to Youtube, and as their repertoire increased they included songs by Coldplay, Green Day, First Aid Kit, and Fleet Foxes, with the latter inspiring them to perform a stunning version of their 'White Winter Hymnal'. Loving the band as I do, I've been collecting these for some time now, and so I think it's about time that I shared some of them, so I've chosen my favourites from the twenty or so that they've uploaded and made this album. It's the perfect way to understand which bands have influenced the girls over the years, and they stamp their own mark on every one of these tracks. It's called simply 'Covers', so that I could adapt the artwork for their 'Cover My Eyes' EP in which to house it, and if you enjoyed their 'Devil's Ivy' album then you must hear this. If you haven't yet experienced this superb band then there's no better place to start, as this could be an easier introduction than just diving in to their self-penned material.

Mind Mountain - Singularity (2015)

Mind Mountain were a Liverpool three-piece who formed in 2011 and quickly established themselves on the local, and increasingly national, scene by gaining a reputation for hammering out improvised and musically accomplished live sets which marry the best of the prog and psych traditions. Yet, along with many of their contemporaries in this rapidly emerging scene, Mind Mountain do not sound like throwbacks or a prog/psych tribute band, and while they take in the likes of Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath, they have very much developed their own sound which I find both gripping and mesmerising. In 2015 the band recorded a eponymously named debut consisting of three tracks, all of which are long and heavy chunks of guitar-led psych rock whose riffage at times would not sound out of place at Donnington. The same year they shared a split single with another favourite band of mine, Carlton Melton, and so their 'Astraeus' takes their recorded output to 36 minutes, or just enough for a shortish album length release. The band have long gone now, but at least we have this record of some great heavy psyche-rock that they recorded while they were around.

Sons - The Sermon (2020)

Sons are a post-punk duo made up of Brighton-based brothers Lee and Nick Meldrum. They've been together - musically, at least - for about four years, but have already started to gain a healthy following in and around Sussex. Although there's only two of them, in a similar vein to Royal Blood, their sound is loud and raw, mixing together a ferocious cocktail of punk, grunge and indie rock drenched in venomous energy. They've been posting songs on Soundcloud for four years, although there's been nothing new for more than a year, and so as there is enough music to put together their first album, now is the perfect time to do it.

The Desert - Disappearing Act (2020)

The Desert is headed by frontwoman Gina Leonard, alongside guitarist and producer Tom Fryer, who met her five years ago at the Cambridge Folk Festival, plus fellow band members Jonny and Ryan. Merging the contemplative folky, yet velvet melodies of Leonard with oozing, impassioned progressions, lurching beats and slight electronica, it generates a nostalgia for the trip-hop scene of their native Bristol. A couple of Fryer's favourite albums growing up were 'Mezzanine' and 'Dummy', and this was in part the reason that he moved to Bristol, to immerse himself in that music scene, and you can definitely hear the Portishead influences in the music that they produce today. They've been posting songs to Soundcloud since 2018, with the most recent being an EP last October, and there is now enough material available for an album length release, which would include their impressive take on Kate Bush's 'Cloudbusting', so as it hasn't appeared yet, here's what it would sound like if it was released today.

Strangers - The Last Glimpse Of Sunlight (2020)

Strangers are a three-piece alternative indie band from Cheshire, who formed in 2017 and have been developing their unique sound ever since. Following the release of 'The Demo Tape' on Soundcloud in 2017, which was where I first heard their great heavy indie rock sound, two further self-produced singles followed over the next two years, where you can hear the band maturing and honing their sound. These were collected onto a mixtape in 2019 and offered on Bandcamp, and this disc adds a further four songs to stretch that out to album length, so that we can hear what an full record from this fine indie rock band could sound like.

IV League - Varsity (2019)

Melbourne-based rockers IV League are Bella Venutti and Lachie Gilmour, a pair of collaborators who are very much still in their formative years, but who possess a deep understanding of music. Kneeling at the feet of 90’s-era heroes like Pixies and The Breeders, they still manage to make music that not only draws from their influences, but also creates something that is refreshingly new and unique, meeting the grunge ferocity with low key and tender moments. They've released three singles, as well as posting songs on Soundcloud since 2016, and their combining of alt-rock and garage-pop-infused fuzz creates big harmonies in a shimmering upbeat style. Bella Venutti launched a solo project in 2019, and the band haven't posted on Soundcloud since then, so it could be that they've now broken up, but they do leave behind an album full of fine indie rock as their legacy.

Sons Of Zöku - Sleepless (2020)

Sons Of Zöku are an Adelaide-based hybrid tribe of Portuguese-born Ricardo Da Silva and Ica Quintela, and Australian-born Jordan Buck, Oscar Ellery, and Eddie Hannemann, who've been around since about 2018. By 2019 they'd slimmed down to a trio of Da Silva, Quintela and Buckm and released a couple of singles and an EP. Their music is a kaleidoscopic onslaught of psych-rock, thunderous drums, seductive grooves, colossal riffs, wailing guitars and vocals, but tempered by rich and alluring melodies, eastern touches and the beauty of pastoral folk too. They've have found a perfect balance between thunderous noise and subtle sweetness, delivering modern psych-rock that harks back to Revolver-era Beatles and the radiant euphoria of Screamadelica. The nine tracks on this album are their total recordings released to date, but the band are tempting us by letting slip that they actually recorded thirteen songs for their EP, of which only five were included, so we can be sure that there is more great music to come from this exciting new band.

Ganser - Pyrrhic Victory (2016)

Ganser have been kicking around the Chicago DIY scene since around January 2014, when Nadia Garofalo and Alicia Gaines were both students at the School of the Art Institute, bonding over their shared love of The Residents, outsider communities, and transgressive filmmakers like John Waters and David Lynch. In the summer of 2015 Charlie Landsman responded to a Facebook ad, and with the addition of Brian Cundiff, the band started rehearing and recording. Songs soon started to appear on Soudcloud and Bandcamp, and in 2016 one of them alerted me to the band, and their dark-post-punk-wave sound, particularly the spikey guitars of 'Sunk', which reminded me of the much-loved The Gang Of Four. They released their debut LP 'Odd Talk' in 2018, which was full of dissonant guitar, abstract lyrical segues, bassline hooks, and drumbeat sinkers, and they followed last year with their second album 'Just Look At That Sky', both of which are available from Bandcamp. Their sound is born of bands such as Joy Division, Mission of Burma, The Birthday Party, Savages, Priests, and while there’s no shortage of outfits with similar influences, Ganser manages to craft a sound familiar and refreshing at the same time, each member adding their own twisted bent to their songs where needed. Amazingly, neither album included a single one of the songs they'd posted to Soundcloud, and so this collections of those tracks could be classed as their real debut album, and superb stuff it is too.

Shallow Waters - Catharsis (2021)

Shallow Waters are a Manchester three-piece who are carving a sonic path through an unexplored landscape of tone, style and sound, breathing in inspiration from their Northern predecessors such as The Verve, Oasis, Joy Division, The Stone Roses and The Smiths, as well drawing influence from the Seattle grunge scene, favouring bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains & Soundgarden. Laced with a lustful tone and doused with a fiery Northern attitude, it's a tidal wave of sonic bliss rolling through a spiral of huge, smooth grooves. They are at their best live, taking you on a journey, from chest-pounding mountain tops to deep valleys dripping with psychedelic swells, and their off the cuff jams really evoke the sense that you’re experiencing something completely unprecedented and unique. The band's studio work parallels the strength of their live performances, with a number of songs appearing on Soundcloud over the past three years, with the most recent single coming out just a few months ago, and they have now amassed enough songs to release their debut album if they'd wanted to, so as they haven't got around to it yet, here it is.

CaStLeS - Mountaineering (2016)

CaStLeS are a psychedelic pop trio from a village at the foot of Mount Snowdon, which is just 20 minutes from Portmeirion, the village in Gwynedd where the classic 60's TV series 'The Prisoner' was filmed. The three members, Dion Hamer (drums, vocals), Cynyr Hamer (vocals, synth, guitar), Calvin Thomas (bass, synth), like the area so much they interrupted their day jobs in 2016 to record a concept album about the joys of living there titled 'Fforesteering', delivering a paean to the beautiful countryside of Snowdonia. The song titles are mostly Welsh-language, including 'Ar Agor' (Open), 'Argau' (Dam) and 'Tynnu Tuag At y Diffeithwch' (Drawn Towards the Wilderness), but the music transcends language barriers. Before that I'd discovered them through their 'PartDepart' EP, and after that from a few songs that they posted on Soundcloud, some of which later turned up on 'Fforesteering', although in different forms. Their music is a blend of warped Welsh indie, 60's west coast jangle and 70's Cologne motorik, which somehow seems to work perfectly. I haven't heard anything new from the band since that 2016 album, so I fear that they've now broken up, but luckily they've left behind enough material to compile an album of songs which didn't make it to 'Fforesteering', plus early versions of some tracks that did, all of which shows that CaStLeS had a promising career ahead of them if they'd stuck it out.

Red Telephone - Victoria Park (2020)

Red Telephone formed in Cardiff in late 2017, and their chosen style of music is a richly layered dark psych, combining shimmering and angular guitars with an infectious melancholic melodiousness, and all topped by the idiosyncratic vocals of Declan Andrews. I was first alerted to them by the superb 'Victoria Park', and quickly sought out more from the band on Soundcloud, and I also found that they were posting on Bandcamp at the same time. Over the next few years they released seven singles, as well as posting other songs online, and there is now enough material available for a ten-track compilation of all of their music. Drawing on hypnagogic pop and industrial rock influences, the band’s experimental ethos has caught the attention of DJs such as Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, and I have to say that they are one of the best modern psychedelic rock bands that I've heard for a while, with an acid-tinged guitar sound that is missing from a lot of current contenders. Red Telephone are actually still going strong, unlike many of the bands in this series, so do support them on Bandcamp.

Doe - Basement (2015)

Doe formed in London in early 2013, after Nicola Leel and Jake Popyura, who had met through a classified ad the previous year, cemented the initial lineup with the addition of guitarist Alessandro 'Alex' Sorenti. Their formation was quickly followed by a string of UK shows, and three EP releases, before Sorenti left the band and was replaced by Matthew Sykes. In 2014 they released a compilation LP of their early EPs, entitled 'First Four', and 2015 saw the release of the single 'Avalanche/Basement' on Fierce Panda Records. Sykes parted ways with the band in September that year and was replaced by Dean Smithers, and in March 2016, Doe recorded their debut full-length record 'Some Things Last Longer Than You', releasing it in September of that year. Their second album 'Grow Into It' came out in September 2018, immediately followed by tours of the UK and Europe, including dates with Speedy Ortiz and Dilly Dally. Once the tours were complete, Doe announced they would be splitting up following a final London show in September 2019. The band had been posting new songs on Soundcloud since they first started, and I'd collected quite a few before their albums were released, and so now is the time to compile some of the tracks that didn't make it to their albums into one final tribute to a fine little indie rock band.

Over Sands - Memory House (2018)

Over Sands are a duo, comprising brothers Tom and Ben Stephens. Originally from Frome in Somerset, the pair had been playing in bands together for a while but the Over Sands project started back in the winter of 2012 in a beach house on a nature reserve in Essex. They later moved to London, but after a couple of years they decided to take some time away to write some songs, and the result of this was their first single 'Tune Out', which appeared in early 2014. "The track is a kaleidoscope of genres really" said Ben, "as we were listening to a lot of ambient music when writing it. We wanted the drums to have a sort of jazz feel, but obviously we have added some electronic elements to the percussion too. The vocals took on a sort of bluesy/gospel feel, mostly by accident. Basically we did whatever felt right for the track." Over the next couple of years further singles were issued, and tracks uploaded to Soundcloud, but things have been very quiet over the past three years, making me think that they have now split. If this is correct, then they have left behind an impressive collection of songs, which could easily have been released as an album had they so desired.

The Shimmer Band - Sunkick (2017)

Bristol psyche-rockers The Shimmer Band were regarded as a must see live act in 2017, and were tipped for great things in 2018, with frontman Tom Newman going big on vocals, superb basslines, soaring melodies, euphoric guitars and a radio-friendly sound beloved by BBC 6 Music's Steve Lamacq. The band comprised Tom Newman (vocals), Babsy (lead guitar), Tom Kuras (bass), Tom Smith (synth, rhythm guitar), William Hatcher (drums), and were big fans of Creation Records and all of the artists involved with that label: Super Furry Animals, Ride, Primal Scream, Jesus And Mary Chain all had an influence on their sound, as well as a healthy dose of Madchester, with a Stone Roses vibe evident on some songs. They'd been around since 2014, and posted a few singles on Soundcloud in 2016 and 2017, but then everything went quiet, and nothing has been heard from them for three years now, so it looks like they didn't fulfill the promise that had been hoped for them. All we have left is this mini-album of the eight songs that they recorded during their lifetime, which is a shame because as you'll hear from these tracks, they had the potential to be a great band.

RedHook - Only Bones (2020)

RedHook hail from Sydney, Australia, and have been around since 2017, consisting of guitarist Craig Wilkinson, bassist Maverick Burnett, drummer Alex Powys and vocalist Emmy Mack. They released their first single 'Minute On Fire' in 2018 to positive reviews across Australia's top national and community radio stations. Their second single 'Turn Up The Stereotype' introduced new drummer Dan McFeeters, and following that single they seemed to shift from one genre of music to the next, going from goth to glam, emo, pop punk to indie among others. Third single 'Paralysed' heralded yet another change in drummer, with Alex Powys joining their ranks, and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of 'Guerrilla Radio' by Rage Against The Machine, they covered the song and released a music video for it. In 2019 they released 'Fake' as their latest single, and it was this which alerted me to the band, as it's mix of rap/rock/electro stood out among the generic indie that I was listening to at the time. Two more singles have followed since then, and if we collect them all together we have a perfectly acceptable mini-album which should bring the band to a wider audience while we wait for a proper record from them.
