Justin: Well we're 4 guys from Wakefield and surrounding areas who play in i guess a rock band, we kind of do our own thing and we try to achieve this feat by mixin...

We chatted to Manchester based indie band Mirror Gorillas this week. With influences from the likes of The Strokes to The Libertines the quartet are aiming to become a hit within the highly competitive indie scene of the industry nowadays. 

1. Who are Mirror Gorillas?

A snake, a neek of the century, a bouffant and a Jamie slate.

2. Who are your biggest inspirations musically?

We caught up with The Four Fours for the second time this week. After introducing them to you previously via our 'Introducing...' section, Chris, Matt and Rich were up for another chat on the topic of their debut single release, 'Go'. This is how it went down. 

1. How's things been for The Four Fours since we last spoke?

Pretty good! Our debut release of 'Count To Ten' and 'Messing With History' was well received a...

Possibly our greatest discovery via 'Introducing...' so far? Introducing to you a name we're more than sure you'll be hearing a lot more of in the coming months, Jim Valentine. Though the quartet have only released one track as of yet, boy is it a blinder. 'Make You Mine' incorporates the sound of Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane into a kind of Last Shaddow Puppets super-giant. The debut has already been recieving prime-time airplay on Xfm and the future is looking huge for the Rock n' Rollers. ...

Recently we caught up with Brum band Last Light. The quartet offer a powerful and alternative plectrum-spamming sound that sounds something like Twin Atlantic and You Me At Six's love child and for this reason we thought we'd grab an interview with themselves. 

1. Who are Last Light?

We're an Alternative band from Birmingham. We've been mates for ages, we all went to school together in Birmingham but now we've deci...

In recent times there has been a surge of female solo artists appearing on the scene, from the likes of Kate Tempest to Lauren Aquilina to Rae Morris to Chloe Howl and so on and so on. This appears to have inspired Daisy Victoria, a powerful indie-grunge solo artist thats certainly making a name for herself via her raw yet melodic sound. After featuring in NME's Radar and recieving airplay from Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1, we finally managed to catch up with Daisy.

This week we chatted to former Northen singer/songwriter Lukas Creswell-Rost. Now habitating in Berlin, the 80's synth-pop fueled solo artist released his latest single 'Ten Dollar Cocktails' on Monday and was up for a little chat about it prior to release as well a little on himself.

That's me. As a musical project its also just me, but I've been helped on the recordings by various o...

We recently caught up with possibly the most cheerful band in the industry, Happyness. The lo-fi indie band, fresh from performing the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds, chatted to us about their debut album, 'Weird Little Birthday', as well as their forthcoming UK tour. 

1 Who are Happyness?

That feels confrontational or we've never done well with big existential questions or us.

We recently chatted with hi-fi indie rock band, Fragile Creatures. The quartet released their debut self titled EP on the 31st August and were up for a short chat about it as well as a little on themselves.

Recently we chatted to Jordan Brown, A.K.A Palms Vincent. The solo artists from Wiltshere describes his sound as that of a combination of Tame Impala, The Beatles and The Doors and we wouldn't argue about that. Although he is yet to play a gig, expect to be hearing big things from Palms Vincent in the near future. 

1. Who is Palms Vincent?

Palms Vincent is I, a solo project with various featuring musicians. Palms Vincent was cr...
