Dead Chic release intense, rich, and surprising debut album “Serenades And Damnation”!

An incredible video and looks like it could’ve been taken right out of a film, it’s that good. I like that it’s been done in monochrome as it gives the film that level of grittiness and adds to the mood of the song

Watch – “Paris” video

Didn’t know what to expect other than something but what I heard was just incredible. An album completely full of character, and some smooth yet kooky vocals

Listen – ” Serenades And Damnation album”

DOPAMINE – Australian Risers Release “Dopamine”

A great song and I absolutely love the guy’s vocal range on this, it hits all the right notes and fits the tune perfectly. Lovely rock tune that has that near 80’s/90’s nostalgic feel to. Considering I’ve never of this guy before I like his music

JOHNNY LLOYD – Releases “Manchester In Bloom” Single || From ‘Punchline’ LP – coming 31 Jan

Interesting choice of title, though it’s not a love letter to Manchester it’s based there in song. Johnny’s Manchester in Bloom is a healing type of tune which offers a sympathetic ear about knowing when to let go and move on

Lei Hope – ‘Cranium’

Now I’m already familiar with Hope’s music so I had a good idea of what I was going to get. He is a talented guy who knows the mechanics around making a great tune and clever with the lyrics he writes. Cranium is about the goings on of the mind and the double standards we suffer from
