| Wild Oats - Black The Panes Pop, Garage | 14/05/2013 |
Wild Oats play jangly antipodean guitar pop with winsome vocal harmonies and 80s synths. A minimalist take on pop songwriting in the vein of Jens Lekman and Belle & Sebastian.
A short but stormy number with intimately obtuse lyrics inspired by the London Blitz. Features rolling drums and a big recurring guitar hook; a reverb-drenched take on the twangy 50s guitars of The Shadows and Buddy Holly.
Other tracks by Wild Oats: The Engine Underneath - Douse
| JuliaWhy? - Rumplestiltskin Rock, Grunge, Pop, Garage | 13/05/2013 |
Having transformed more in the past year than most bands do in a career, former folk songwriter JuliaWhy? is now a three piece inspired by The Fall and Bikini Kill.
90s sounding grunge that starts off ethereal and slow and grows into a brutal, bass heavy chorus. This song is about a friend climbing the corporate ladder, forcing himself to be someone he isn't, knowing that Rumplestiltskin is waiting for him to fall. And he does.
Other tracks by JuliaWhy?: Crows - Stratosphere Girl

| Wild Zinnias - Buildings Folk, Soul, Acoustic, World | 10/05/2013 |
Folk Rock band from Byron Bay comprising Irish and Australian members. Original songs written by Willy McElroy combined with Drums and bass driven fiddle tunes played at gigs.
"Buildings" is an exploration of the trapped feelings I felt growing up in the violent and economically poor town of Clondalkin in the west of Dublin,Ireland. It compares the greyness of the buildings to the greyness of a woman's broken heart. Ultimitly through a message of underlying Hope.
Other tracks by Wild Zinnias: Morning Star - A Fool Like Me

Stray Current
rating: 5/5
I hear touches of '90s math rock in this, which I haven't heard for a while. I also hear a wonderfully constructed and utterly compelling song.
