No 1:The Phantom Sound
The album will feature Dale Crover of The Melvins and Nirvana (Bleach), and Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls and Scarlet Sails on drums.
No 2: Feral Five
Nearly four years down the line, Feral Five have produced another 'banger' of a CD and March 31st sees the official release of Man Cat Doll Machine (I'll forgive them not calling it Man Dog Doll Machine) with some splendid artwork by Tracey Moberly who's previously collaborated with Banksy and Bill Drummond.
No 3: Stocksnskins
"We nod towards post punk electronica mixing lots of beats and bass with poetic spoken word and the odd rants. We formed in May 2016 in Bournemouth. and have been played on the Neil Lomax Teenage Kicks radio show a few times and supported Endea at Sound Circus, Bournemouth."
No 4 Stillia
Ralph's favorite video this week is Let Me In by St Helens band Stillia
The video was directed by none other than Johnny Vegas for the release of their single and produced by his production company Woolyback Promotions.
Filmed and Edited by WASP Video
No 5: SKIES
They took to the road with the likes of Clean Cut Kid, Coasts and Get Inuit, culminating in SKIES seeing out 2016 in perfect style with a jam-packed headline show at Camden Assembly
No 6: Scott Lloyd
Normally a solo performer, Scott has used a full band to back him on the EP, which is a step away from his previous acoustic sound. The EP was recorded at Limefield Studios, Manchester in July 2016 and will be released independently by Scott.
No 7: Luna Rosa
Ralph's been looking at all the bands and artistes playing at this year's Blackthorn Festival in July and featured them all in one big blog, but there's a few which we'll be taking a closer look at over the next few weeks.
One such band is Luna Rosa who hail from Corby in Northampton-shire. Formed in 2014 Luna Rosa have played up and down the UK racking up over 200 gigs in just over two years, including headline and festival slots.
No 8: Motions
No 9: Field Of Giants
If you like your rock heavy then Oxford-based, masked hard rockers, Field of Giants have the very thing for you, with the release of their second independent album In Arcadia dropping in June.
After a string of local shows to test their new material, Field of Giants are well prepared for the release of their follow-up on the music buying public.
No 10: Factory Acts
After garnering copious amounts of critical acclaim with their debut EP Thirst in 2014, Salford's underground, post-punk maestros Factory Acts return with their highly anticipated sophomore release Second Amendment which is available on official release April 21st.
