Astrid's Tea Party Return with new single Black Swan

Astrid's Tea Party Return with new single Black Swan

Astrid’s Tea Party, the Brighton based electroshock four piece have returned in style, with a decidedly darker sound in the form of their new single Black Swan. The frenzied, synth heavy affair arrives in the wake of their highly acclaimed debut single What’s In It For Me?, a track that has gained praise from fans and critics alike. Gone are the glamorous sensibilities, in its place stands Black Swan, a track that with its juddering bass lines and assertive rhythm pounds its way into your psyche.

Taking inspiration from the gothic glory of her adopted hometown of Prague, Black Swan is described by front woman Astrid as a “what goes around comes around love song for the FOMO generation,” and delves into the dark recesses of the emotional landscape… where she likes to reside.

This is a song about betrayal, with Astrid leading the attack with a power-punk attitude reminiscent of Charli XCX and Sky Ferreira, regaling us with her tale of revenge that’s evocative of something Cave and Harvey might have cooked up when they were an item.

With several festival appearances lined up across the UK this summer, and the collaboration with their friends at Central Saint Martins bearing fruit with the projected launch of a clothing line later this year, Black Swan seems a suitable metaphor, as Astrid and co are taking off, in a big and powerful way.

Folk rockers Time For T release brand new video, Tom Tom

Folk rockers Time For T release brand new video, Tom Tom

Brighton-based Folk rockers Time For T may well be en-route to your country by the time you read this. Embarking on a European tour this summer spanning five countries and a whopping 4 months of pure grind, 2015 is most definitely the year for this innovative outfit. A mature folk/electro sound fused with a distinctive Brighton brogue can be deceptive, these guys can still throw down a Blind Faith-esque (as in Clapton’s super group, no drum n bass to be found here) breakdown with the best of them. Hard working bands produce hard-core groups of fans, and without a doubt this tour will set the tone for the future of this five-piece’s career. 

The band’s latest offering ‘Tom Tom’ is as refreshing as it is innovative. To include as blatant a reference to culture as this is bold for any band, but pulling it off, as well as a rocky breakdown and great lyricism within the confines of a 4 minute single is something to be truly respected. Variation is clearly the catch of the day here, with the song climbing and swelling in directions that even the most seasoned ears don’t quite expect; from serene bass and acoustic work, to a couple of heady breakdowns, and back again. From this track alone, the band has made a statement: catch them, before they become a staple.

Tour dates:

18 May / Le Pop In  / Paris

20 May / Plano B / Porto

21 May / Musicbox / Lisbon

22 May / Transforma / Torres Vedras

23 May / Muwart Festival / Ronda

12 June / Sé La Vie / Braga

17 July / Larmer Tree Festival / Salisbury

02 August / Kendal Calling Festival / Cumbria

Brighton based Morning Smoke release new single Hunger

Brighton based Morning Smoke release new single Hunger

The Brighton based Morning Smoke have been keeping very busy this summer by performing at variety of shows and festivals including The Great Escape, supporting Joel Gion and recording new material.

The four-piece are all still under 20 years old and have only been playing together as a band for one year. They have, however, already caught the attention of The Sun, Artrocker, NME, Big Cheese, Clash and Q Magazine. They have also been played by XFM’s John Kennedy and even outvoted Sam Smith on BBC 1 Edith Bowman’s Show. Not bad going

Now Milo, Max, Isaac and Chris are ready to release their much anticipated double-a single called Hunger and Stephanie I. Having been compared to Sonic Youth, Joy Division and Interpol, Milo’s vocal impact stays with the listener for a long while after. Filled with irresistible riffs, washed in dreamy reverbs and led by steady mid tempo drum-beats, the pre-gothic double-a side is an overall infusion of memorable musicianship.

With unique and edgy sonic presence, Morning Smoke are all about authenticity and memorable noise, and their upcoming Double-A singles will be available for sale and download 1st December 2014.

LIVE DATES:

9th October - Proud Camden, London 

10th October - Brunswick, Hove

Early Ghost release new single Everything Goes With It

Brighton-based sextet Early Ghost have released a new video for their single release 'Everything Goes With It', out this September.

Made up of members hailing from both Brighton and London, Early Ghost have built up a reputation as one of the most exciting acts to emerge out of Brighton's fledging neo-psych scene. Coming together over a shared love of The Doors, Early Ghost's unique sound sits somewhere squarely between the garage-driven psychedelia of The 13th Floor Elevators and the Californian surf of The Growlers. 

With a wide array of instrumentation that includes both brass and banjos, Early Ghost may be helping pioneer the UK post-psych scene, however the vast range of sounds afforded to the expansive band has made them stand out amongst their peers. Over their short lifespan, the sextet have already supported such acts as Beirut, First Aid Kit and Jacco Gardner, as well as performing at Green Man, Hop Farm, Camden Crawl and The Great Escape festivals amongst others.

New single 'Everything Goes With It' is out now, self-released by the band and will precede their new EP later this year.

Brighton band The DuBarrys release new track Lilly

Brighton band The DuBarrys release new track Lilly

Brighton band The DuBarrys have recently released a stunning 70's rock influenced track 'Undress Your Soul' taken from their forthcoming debut EP. The track, featuring a pop undercurrent and catchy melody leaves a mark on all those who listen.

Now the four-piece have treated us to the second song from the four-track EP. ‘Lilly’ is as addictive as it is stunning, with hazy vintage-led visuals, that leave us wanting more. An Indie Pop/Rock track, which causes an instant recall, immediately after watching.

Their debut EP promises to bring more; ambient melodies are teamed with indie-pop vocals and reverb-soaked guitars; The DuBarrys are set to ensnare your ears, and make their mark.

Support for the band has already come from BBC Radio 6, and XFM with comparisons to indie tastemakers of recent years, Alt-J and Local Natives. Other mutual influences come in the form of Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Tame Impala and more recently Mac Demarco, with elements from each harnessed to create a sound and style unique to The DuBarrys; a refreshing change from today's EDM driven scene.

Having previously supported King Charles and with performances at the Isle of Wight Festival, under their belt, The DuBarrys have already cemented themselves as an incredible, engaging live act. Chich, Rax, Alex and Dylan are a four piece, masquerading as a trio, with their drummer choosing not to take the limelight; however still playing a firm role in their music making.

Hotly tipped for 2015, keep an eye on these boys.

Brighton based four piece Of Empires to release debut E.P. Stranger Sensations

Brighton based four piece Of Empires to release debut E.P. Stranger Sensations

Of Empires, a Brighton based four piece are about to release their debut EP 'Stranger Sensations' on 30th September.

In a relatively short period time together as a band, Brighton based four piece, Of Empires, have already demonstrated their gusto through vibrant live performances across the UK whilst more recently receiving repeated national airplay of their track 'Gimme What I Need' across the BBC Introducing network. 

The group of relative unknowns are set to release their debut EP aptly titled 'Stranger Sensations', on 30th September. The three-track EP has all the components that define the bands live sound – booming drums, luring vocal hooks and psychedelic guitar riffs reminiscent of bands like Jefferson Airplane. The influence of early rock ‘n’ roll is the basis of the bands sound, with traces of The Doors and early Rolling Stones to name a few, but with a necessary subtlety that is full of modern influences.

Phantom Runners release new single Chasing The Feeling

Brighton band Phantom Runners are back with their second single, now under the production guidance of multi-platinum selling Huey Morgan of Fun Lovin Criminals and more recently the ambassador of fine musical taste via his Sony Award winning Radio 2 and 6 Music weekly shows.

From growing support at Radio 1, an ASOS fashion shoot cover, and a #1 session as voted by viewers of renowned Balcony TV, this is an important year for Phantom Runners who are determined to continue their lasting impact on all who hear their music. From the origins of guerrilla festival shows and house party gigs, they’re still driven by a transcendent form of dream pop as illustrated by new single ‘Chasing The Feeling’ which moves into the realms of shamanistic storytelling.

The title came from one of those life experiences one always remembers, as singer, guitarist and writer of the track Adam Al-Hilali recalls, “We were by the Stone Circle at Glastonbury one year, and it got to about eight in the morning after a heavy night and my brother was still in search of something to keep the party going, and I just called out to him to give it a rest…. You’re just chasing the feeling”

The line struck a chord and Adam decided to write around its deeper meaning. Fellow band members brought the Phantom Runners signature groove and everything fell perfectly into place, including guest rap vocals from part time Phantom Runner Titus Taylor, who treads the icy ground of rapping over indie with the deftest of touches.

Huey explains, “This is the one that you don't pass on. The band has it all. The songs, the drive and a unique combination of musical styles that I have not ever come across.  I'm in. Are you?”

The video also takes ‘Chasing The Feeling’ to another level as the band opt out of the de rigeur indie video: band play song in weird setting, and instead took the brave move to spread their artistic wings and create a short film of sorts which involves several band members, a love triangle, a mannequin, and murder by fire. These are Phantom Runners, what’s not to love?

Asian Dub Foundation - Full live show and club night

w/ DJ Pandit G and Sonny Green and LC Collective

on Nov 15th 

Asian Dub Foundation return to London after reuniting over a live Secret Cinema re-scoring of the classic urban French film La Haine

In March 2012,  Asian Dub Foundation main man Steve Savale (Chandrasonic) was asked whether he could recreate his Southbank BFI performance but this time on the Broadwater Farm estate less than a year after the UK riots. This time Chandrasonic needed reinforcements. 

Original bass player and ADF founding member Dr Das and drummer Rocky Singh hadn’t played in the band for many years.They were contacted with a proposal  and agreed it was an opportunity they couldn’t refuse. During rehearsals the vibe between the reunited musicians was obvious.They were really enjoying playing together again.

Using the energy of this incendiary night and two Parisian performances the newly reformed lineup kept rehearsing. With a fantastic spirit around the events it seemed natural that this should be the start of creating new material. Dr Das and Rocky Singh were now back full time and an approach was made to legendary English producer Adrian Sherwood to join the project. He agreed that the material and the ideas were something he could work on with a clear vision. Recording began on the new album - ‘The Signal And The Noise’.

Former vocalist Ghetto Priest returned and with Aktarvata and amazing flute boxer Nathan Lee (now a full time member of the band) all feeling the vibe the chemistry was complete for the first time for this London performance. 

ADF are back and as powerful as ever. They will be playing new music, as well as highlights from their long and varied career, including from the much-lauded soundtrack to La Haine. 

Asian Dub Foundation have also teamed up with Pelirocco Platters to release a special  limited edition 7" of the brand new single 'Radio Bubblegum' , with an exclusive Dub B-side done by Adrian Sherwood. 

Radio Bubbelgum's  release launch coincides with Asian Dub Foundation playing a show at the Concorde 2 in Brighton on Saturday October 5th. 

'Radio Bubblegum' is taken from Asian Dub Foundation's forthcoming  new album 'The Signal And The Noise' . The album was produced by the legendary Adrian Sherwood and marks the return of Dr Das, Rocky Singh, Ghetto Priest and also features  Nathan Flutebox Lee .Dr Das remarks ‘The new albums done. The mixes are identifiably Adrian Sherwood with a new take on old skool ADF vibes. We’re very happy with how its turned out.’

You can download Radio Bubblegum - the first single from their forthcoming album here https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/radio-bubblegum-radio-edit/id652053355?l=ja&ls=1

The Wanted to headline Brightons new SD2 Festival

Brighton, get ready!  Here comes SD2, a brand new one day festival taking place by the seaside featuring the biggest names in pop music.  SD2 is a great day out for all ages taking place in the picturesque setting of Stanmer Park, one of the most beautiful locations along the south coast.  The first acts are confirmed today with many more to be announced over the forthcoming weeks for what is set to be the pop spectacle of 2013.

Headlining SD2 are The Wanted, one of the biggest and best boy bands in the world.  The Wanted have two huge albums, Battleground and The Wanted under their belts and a string of huge, hit singles such as All Time Low, Glad You Came, Heart Vacancy, Lose My Mind, Gold Forever and Lightning.  The band have over 4 million fans on Facebook and their ferociously infectious tunes, rock solid friendship and laddish charms have stamped all over the typical boy band mould and brought a blast of much needed fresh air to British pop music. The Wanted have a new album out soon.  Their set is guaranteed to be a euphoric affair and this is their only appearance in Sussex in 2013.

Since The Saturdays formed in 2007, the multi-platinum-selling band has become a household name in the UK.  They’ve scored 11 Top 10 singles including signature hits like All Fired Up and Higher and three Top 10 albums Chasing Lights, Wordshaker and Headlines. Renowned for their energetic live performances, The Saturdays have sold out arena tours across the country and have become unavoidable on screens across the nation, not least as part of their own fly-on-the-wall TV shows The Saturdays 24/7 and What Goes On Tour. Add to this a loyal following of over 1 million fans on Facebook, over 3 million combined followers on Twitter and over 67 million video views on YouTube, and it’s clear that The Saturdays have become the UK’s foremost girl group.  They will take the stage and Brighton by storm at SD2.

SD2 promoter Matt Priest comments “We're delighted to launch SD2 to Brighton & Sussex. We have assembled some of the best pop acts the UK has to offer; The Wanted are a global phenomenon and The Saturdays have established themselves as the country's biggest girl band."

MusicMafia presents The Call Back Academy

The Call Back Academy are a 5 piece band from Brighton UK who play pop punk/heavy music but remain true to their english home. (so dont sing with american accents which it seems alot of pop punk bands do these days!)

They are releasing their new EP 'chapters' which recieved 8/10 From rocksound Magazine and was also used as their cover mount with over 35,000 copies being shifted in the UK through them. They then made them their 'Band of the week'

Their sound comes from a mix of love for Pop punk music such as Blink 182, New found glory, The story so far, Transit, Four Year Strong and then the heavy elements of bands such as Bring me the horizon, A day to rememeber, Architects ect. But they wanted to make this mix possible whilst maintaining a british front as this is usually lost by alot of bands from this country playing these styles.

They are looking to stream a track from the EP every month starting ASAP via soundcloud on the lead up to the EP's public release date which will be in JUNE 2013. It will be released for a FREE download via soundcloud. The first track 'These Caving Walls' which is the opening track is a heavier take on pop punk, and is the heaviest track on the EP.

Shakedown announce Rizzle Kicks, Labrinth, DJ Fresh and more

After a hugely successful 2012, Shakedown returns to Brighton for its third year with an outstanding line up of talent celebrating all that is relevant in electronic music right now.  Last year 20,000 music lovers made the pilgrimage to Stanmer Park and this year’s Shakedown line up is the biggest and best yet.     

The main stage will be hosted by drinkinbrighton.co.uk and will be headlined by local boys Rizzle Kicks.  Rizzle Kicks are one of the biggest names in urban music having sold over a million singles in the UK and released their debut album Stereo Typical, a mixture of pop and hip hop incorporating elements of the old skool hip-hop era circa 1988 – 92.  Their eagerly anticipated new album is set this summer and the boys will have festival goers partying along to the anthemic pop of When I Was A Youngster, Mama Do The Hump and Down With Trumpets at what will be a massive homecoming show. 

Britain’s urban pop superstar Labrinth is also confirmed to perform.  Fresh off his UK tour with Plan B and Rudimental, Labrinth is the ultimate showman, and is set to perform his enormous hits Pass Out, Let The Sun Shine, Earthquake, Last Time, Beneath Your Beautiful and more.  Labrinth has collaborated with the likes of Tinie Tempah, Plan B, Emeli Sande and Wretch 32 since he exploded onto the scene in 2010 and was subsequently signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco label.  His blend of R n’ B, Hip Hop and dubstep has marked him out as a key player in UK music. 

DJ Fresh will be playing with a full live band, a real coup for Shakedown as he performs all the colossal hits from his Nextlevelism album, Hot Right Now, Louder, The Power, Gold Dust and The Feeling as well as classic tracks.  Expect a monstrous set of drum and bass, dubstep and electro house for this electronic aristocrat. 

Maverick Sabre is a singer/songwriter with soul in abundance and his set will showcase his outstanding take on soul and r n’ b while DJ Jacob Plant also performs.  Jacob has just released his huge track Shakedown on Calvin Harris’s label Fly Eye and was written to open his set at the festival in 2012.   Also performing on the main stage will be Delilah who will bring a little London swagger, the legendary Jaguar Skills with his eclectic multi-genre, cut-n-paste DJ’ing and the hip hop of Ed Sheeran cohort Mikill Pane. 

The Supercharged Arena is back in 2013 with a plethora of heavyweight DJ’s.  Sub Focus is one of the superstars of bass music, a production obsessive whose attention to detail is matched only by the raw spectacle of his incredible DJ sets.  A bone fide cross over artist Sub Focus is that rare thing in dance music, someone who can keep one foot in the underground and still have credible radio hits.

Zane Lowe can’t get enough of Shakedown as he returns for a third successive year.  The Radio 1 new music legend needs no introduction and his previous sets at Shakedown have been a festival highlight.  Popular demand sees him return to inflict further musical mayhem on the south coast.

Shakedown is thrilled to announce a four hour RAM Records takeover in the Supercharged Arena.  RAM Records is the legendary drum and bass label that hosts sell out, road block sessions every other month at Fabric as well as one off events all over the world.  They have a roster of the most influential global drum and bass DJ’s and they bring four of their finest to Shakedown for a mammoth session which is sure to be a mecca for clubbers from across the UK.

Award winning Brighton boy Krafty Kuts riotous DJ skills have earned him a reputation as a DJ of some repute whilst A Skillz incredible deck talents have marked him out as the party rocker extraordinaire.

Shakedown was the stand out dance music festival in 2012 and the promoters continue to strive to provide an electronic music experience for their audience.  In addition to the main stage and Supercharged Arena, Shakedown will be introducing a House and Future Bass Arena for 2013, providing festival goers with even more destinations to enjoy the electronic sounds of today and tomorrow.  The line-up for the House and Future Bass Arena will be announced shortly as will many more names across all the stages as Shakedown returns to the UK’s party capital for the final festival of the year.
