Mad About Rock

  Amps up to 11, phasers set to stun and off they go! SONS are back with a furious and insanely catchy slab of rock & roll. A pulsating staccato guitar riff, drums getting a serious beating and singer Robin Borghgraef spitting his lyrics into the mic as if to get rid of a foul stench in his mouth. “Nothing ain’t wrong / Nothing ain’t real / Nothing inside me makes me feel now / I feel like going all blind / I feel like falling behind now” It’s clear that the last couple of years left its mark on the gentlemen from Melsele (North of Flanders, near Antwerp). “Nothing deals with feeling numb and emotionless. Dealing with a lack of impulses by searching for a kick or a rush”, the singer/guitarist explains. SONS tackle this by fashionably trashing a house in the wonderful video for the single. It’s full-throttle rock & roll fun and much needed after this 2-year standstill. ‘Nothing’ offers a first taste of the brand-new album ‘Sweet Boy’, due for release on April 22nd on [PIAS]...

Speaking about the video created by Josh Whettingsteel, singer Curtis Gale says: "This video idea turned up after having a phone call with my friend/manager, Jamie. We were coming up with ideas as we knew we needed a video but were limited due to lockdown. Josh Whettingsteel came to mind and as a huge fan of his ...

  Southampton trio Mystic Peach return today with eerie new single Wanna Be My Daddy? It follows on from debut track Across The Pond and second single The Eye And The Twitch which saw support roll in from the likes of Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1, Amy Lamé and Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music, John Kennedy on Radio X, DIY, So Young Magazine and The Line Of Best Fit. Wanna Be My Daddy? is a spectral slice of grunge rock that isn’t afraid to tackle the tough questions and confronts vulnerability head on, with the lyrics acting as glorious juxtaposition against waves of psych and garage rock. Singer Curtis Gale details the track further: “'Wanna Be My Daddy?' is a story of experience about how the comfort in your own sexuality can be threatening to certain people. Small town mentality, prying eyes and assumptions giving rise to the purest form of irony. The questions, the staring and unsubstantiated accusations can go unnoticed even in your busy life. But when people go out of their way ...
