With their much anticipated eponymous debut LP hurtling our way all too soon, the brothers Eoin and Rory Loveless, aka Drenge, are now pulling out yet another rock-hard diamond in the rough from their formidable arsenal. Their new single "Face Like a Skull" is out on 26th August. Listen below!


Sarcastic is the debut single from brand new indie pop outfit, Octopuses. Formed by guitarist Adam Bell and multi-instrumentalist Alan Grice of similarly C86-indebted Brighton darlings Foxes!, the single is released through their own Big Salad Records.


'Hobo Rocket' is the fifth LP from Perth, Australia based five-piece Pond. The band set out to make a record that captures a portion of rock music's great, decadent history through a personal lens. Known for their brutally raucous live shows, Pond have captured that intensity on record, cramming as much loose, live emotion into a 40 minute album as possible. 'Hobo Rocket' will be out August 2nd (AUS), August 5th (UK/EU), August 6th (USA). The record is available to listen to in full HERE

Fuck Buttons cracked the UK top 40 album chart! That's amazing news for UK music and for the Fbuttons themselves! We're dead chuffed for them.
