No 1: Sugarmen
Ralph's favorite video this week is the excellent and trippy Push Button Age by Liverpool band Sugarmen
The track is on their soon to be released debut album Local Freaks which sees it's launch party in The Sebright Arms, London on October 5th.
No 2: Lucie Barât
No 3:Violet Youth
The four songs on the EP were written between 2013 and 2016 and they describe them as "The sounds of Violet Youth in it's infancy."
No 4: Lover
The bones of London band Lover was formed towards the end of 2015, and they started on their debut album, Human Geography in early 2016.
The album was completed just before they embarked on a mini UK tour supporting Earl Slick / Bernard Fowler’s Station to Station Tour. On tour the band started building a following and garnered great feedback from the public and industry insiders.
No 5: Purest
Yielding more swagger than a Kevin Shields customized Jazzmaster, the intense sounds of Sheffield guitar bandits Puresthave come knocking firmly at the door of mainstream radio with new singleWaiting Forto be released later this month.
The Sheffield 4-piece’ debut made such an overwhelming first impression on Gary Powell of The Libertinesthat he, along with label partner Wayne Clarke, signed them to their label 25 Hour Convenience Store Records for their second full release.
No 6: Himalayas
Earlier this year the band released the incendiary Thank God I'm Not Youwhich brought them exposure to global audiences; featuring on numerous Spotify curated playlists amassing over 1.86m streams and over 330k monthly listeners, as well as multiple plays on network radio.
No 7: The Jade Assembly
No 8: The Actions
The Actions announce their forthcoming Single Let’s Talk released 14th September via igiveyougive.com
All the income raised will go entirely to MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctor Without Borders), Save The Children and Greenpeace.
No 9: Snippet
Colchester's favorite son Johnno Casson aka Snippet is the uncrowned king of feelgood pop-esque music and his latest album Human Good isn't bucking that trend.
Johnno takes you on a journey of "people-rich" stories that encompasses a wide array of characters including fraudsters, pimps, prostitutes, drinkers, users and abuser’s and simple everyday folk just trying to make sense of this world.
No 10: Names
