The Nightingales release their first studio album since 2022’s much-praised ‘The Last Laugh’. Celebrated in the excellent Stewart Lee-narrated film King Rocker of 2020, where the curtain was raised on the magic of the “long serving punk/alternative rock volunteer” (The Quietus) Robert Lloyd, The Nightingales are as pertinent as ever as they release a poignant tirade on modern times heralded, quite rightly, as ‘The Awful Truth’.

Released on April 4th on Fire Records, their new album ‘The Awful Truth’ is a modern mutant music hall interpretation of the day’s news, a haunting jolt into realism narrated with all the angst of an insistent, slightly dishevelled late-night newscaster.

LISTEN TO ‘THE NEW EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES’

“They genuinely sound more vital than ever.”

UNCUT

Opening cut, ‘The New Emperor’s New Clothes’ is an upbeat immersive eruption with a thumping percussive piano holding proceedings in order; think the Velvets meet Fairport Convention in a crowded boozer, still waiting for their man.

Robert Lloyd enlarges: “A stream of consciousness. Initially inspired by the tawdry but tractable trend of the vacant, voluntarily egged on by ego hungry politicians, pop stars, beauties, ballers, ingrowing haters and hard-nosed influencers. One hundred percent on point with the nonsense of neo populism and savagely edited to fit the music, it is far from silky, it is futile and silly. Real rock ‘n’ roll.”

‘Same Old Riff’ recalls Bowie’s ‘Queen Bitch’ rekindling the class war struggles and throwing sharp focus on the national unrest in the summer of 2024.

“The powerless are the problem, as if, as if”

‘The Men, Again’ begins with Beefheart mayhem before spilling onto a funky dancefloor adding fuel to an already raging blaze. Meanwhile, the band namecheck themselves trying to recall their WiFi password;

“With lyrics inspired by The Nightingales’ drawing on their post punk attitude, sharp wit and often sarcastic observational style.”

Under such scrutiny, Robert Lloyd’s acidic one-liners trace the collapse of modern society, retaining the harmonious warble of a veteran pub crooner infected with the growl and grouse of The Fall, Nick Cave and at times Beefheart reincarnated.

‘Just Before’ languishes in a more spacious ambience, a moment of clarity, of taking stock, that sits among tales of piss artists and princesses whose morning-after breath and recent memories are something to behold.

Cinderella’s “classic” anthem ‘Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boo’ becomes a disturbed nursery rhyme riff on ‘The Gates of Heaven Ajar’; the stuttering solo on ‘The Best Revenge’ strips paint; while ‘Warm Up’ ends as if it’s about to break into HMS Pinafore.

“When the fun stops, I don’t stop…

In the early 80s they enjoyed cult status as darlings of the credible music scene and were championed by John Peel, who said of them – “Their performances will serve to confirm their excellence when we are far enough distanced from the 1980’s to look at the period rationally and other, infinitely better known, bands stand revealed as charlatans.”

Their time has indeed come.

GANS are GOOD FOR THE SOUL

Brown Horse are excited to announce their second album, ‘All The Right Weaknesses’, out 4th April on Loose Music. The latest single, “Dog Rose”, is out now.

Road tested and road worn, the band tracked these eleven songs in a whirlwind week of live takes at Sickroom Studios in Norfolk following a multi-month European tour. Building on the stark twang of their debut album, ‘Reservoir’, ‘All The Right Weaknesses’ sees an energised Brown Horse meld slacker-rock, folk and alt-country – equal parts Lucinda Williams, Jason Molina, The Breeders and Silver Jews. Weary, wry and disarmingly honest, these songs flash a smile at the dark and strange. With contributions from the band’s multiple songwriters, the record is a patchwork far greater than the sum of its parts.

Following the release of the new album, Brown Horse will play a run of shows in the UK and Europe, including dates at Rough Trade in Bristol, Rich Mix in London and Salford’s Sounds From The Other City festival.

***** 

About ‘All The Right Weaknesses’

Arriving off the back of a busy touring schedule which included sets at Green Man Festival, Latitude and the main stage at End of the Road, Brown Horse’s second album is characterised by an intense energy born from night after night on tour playing full-band shows. As the band explain: 

“We’d been on the road in Europe for over two months by the time we arrived at the studio to start recording. We were pretty much constantly together, spending hours in the van listening to the same music, exploring unfamiliar places and playing shows almost every night. That was sort of the creative justification for playing so many dates ahead of recording, to find that level of coherence.”

“We didn’t need to pay for rehearsal space,” they continued, “we rotated new songs in the setlist and learned them on our rare days off. We’d slept on floors and in construction sites, caught midnight ferries, driven a Ford Transit past incredible Norwegian fjords, and been towed from a snowbank in the middle of nowhere by a man in shorts and flip flops. It was pretty cool to be that tuned into each other, and have that shared experience going into recording an album.” 

While the songs on ‘Reservoir’ took shape over years of intimate, stripped-back pub gigs, ‘All The Right Weaknesses’ holds nothing back, building a yowling wall of distorted guitars, accordion, banjo and pedal steel, at once familiar and difficult to place. The songs are thoughtful and delicately arranged, but the record rocks harder than ever. 

‘All The Right Weaknesses’ is a little more eclectic than their first offering, representing a collective and reflecting the band’s experience of touring new places. It also incorporates one of the most enchanting elements of their live sets, the way the band members swap instruments on-stage, which has been carried into the arrangements and recording.

Listening to the record has a feel of switching TV channels – there’s a real range of genres and approaches across the eleven tracks, but the album never lacks cohesion. Strong thematic connections which might prove familiar to fans of the first record are woven throughout. Perhaps the band are confronting new ghosts here.

Following the release of their fiery new single, “Crying in Marseille”, Scottish alt-pop outfit Pistol Daisys will set out on the road this spring for a run of support slots with Big Country.

Following their performances at The Barrowlands, the Daisys will tour again in April 2025, supporting Scottish rock legends Big Country and making festival appearances across the UK. The Big Country tour kicks off at Junction in Cambridge on 17^th April and will include stops in Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham and more. The band will also join Thomas Law and SLEAZE for two shows at St. Luke’s in Glasgow and 100 Club in London.

The full list of live dates can be found below.

***** 

Pistol Daisys recently celebrated the release of their latest single, “Crying in Marseille” – a fiery, dance-pop anthem with a rock edge, born from a wild night in France. Written in a small studio apartment after their breakout set at Fete De la Music in Aix-en-Provence in front of 15,000 fans, the song is a defiant anthem for clubbers of all sexes.

At its core, “Crying in Marseille” is about being dumped while on tour and having the courage to say no at the right time – that moment of self-realisation when you shake off heartbreak, reclaim your confidence, and hit the dancefloor (with a glass of French red!) With a sound that blends indie grit with dancefloor swagger, “Crying in Marseille” is another step forward for the Pistol Daisys.

The Pistol Daisys are quickly becoming one of the most exciting new acts to emerge from Scotland’s vibrant music scene. Blending Glasgow’s grit with heartfelt authenticity, their sound has captivated audiences across the UK and beyond. The trio’s rise is unstoppable, and with their relentless live energy, 2025 will be their biggest year yet.

Steven Wilson, the world-renowned producer, remixer, originator and songwriter, has announced details of his eighth studio album, The Overview, which is due for release on Fiction Records on 14th March 2025. 

The forty-two-minute album is Steven’s most audacious to date. It consists of just two tracks: Objects Outlive Us and The Overview, each inspired by the “overview effect” experienced by astronauts looking back at the Earth from space.

The Overview sees Steven Wilson return to expansive, progressive music, a genre he helped redefine and repopularise with both his solo and Porcupine Tree releases. The two wildly ambitious tracks are each made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the other, playing out as unique and continuous pieces. Wilson’s 21st-century progressive music updates the classic ‘prog’ musical palette to incorporate everything from glistening electronics to post-rock and beyond, which brings the genre right into the beating heart of the current musical landscape.

Today, Newcastle alt-rock trio The Pale White return to announce their second album ‘The Big Sad’, due for release on 18th April 2025 via End of the Wall Recordings, pre-order / save here. 

The announcement also comes alongside a brand new single ‘Lost In The Moment‘, available to stream here.

Back in 2025 with their debut release from the imminent new album ‘The Big Sad‘, new single ‘Lost In The Moment‘ sails in with anticipation which erupts into an exciting cacophony of high impact guitar riffs. Moving through waves of intricate textures established with a driving bassline, tubular bells and often hypnotic vocals, the track captures the captivating feeling of those nostalgic moments where time stands still.

Speaking on new single ‘Lost in The Moment’, frontman Adam Hope says, “A special song to me. It’s about the feeling, or lack thereof, which suddenly washes over you when you least expect it. A certain type of numbness, not necessarily tied to anything good, or bad. Perhaps it’s a captivation of something beautiful, or maybe it could be the type of melancholy in the pit of your stomach when reminiscing and romanticising the past. Whatever it may be, time freezes and you’re neither here nor there… just for a moment.“

“The Big Sad: an album born from the ashes of dark times, but representing a beacon of light for the future. An album of honesty and purity, one that our current fanbase sonically may not be expecting. The sound of a band that got tired of slamming on the fuzz pedal to tick the ‘rock’ box and dares to try something new, dares to shock, dares to be great.”

This is the northeast calling, with songs of stillness, reflection, renewal, defiance, hope, classic melodies and, at certain perfectly judged moments, furniture-shifting riffs. With a powerful album shaped by pandemic-era loss (of momentum, and of a band member), and by the wins brought by what singer/songwriter/guitarist Adam Hope describes as a “weight lifted off my shoulders”. With a fresh, front-footed, fired-up approach that owes everything to a band returning to their roots in Wallsend and Newcastle – and, for the first time, making their music entirely on their own independent terms: self-produced and self-confident.

This is the return of The Pale White with, in all its surging emotion and pitch-perfect songcraft, the 13-track triumph that is The Big Sad.

At the time devoid of fresh blood, Newcastle quickly became alight with buzz around The Pale White upon their formation in 2016. Brothers Adam and Jack Hope, then joined by Tom Booth, honed their skills as a ferocious three-piece and quickly settled into a rhythm of their own with a self-titled EP in 2017 and 2018’s hip-swaggering ‘Take Me to the Strange’ before releasing their debut 2021 album ‘Infinite Pleasure’.

Heads were quickly turning and with ongoing support from Radio 1, Radio X and Triple J, the band’s tunes were playing up and down the country. Highlighted as “one of the North East’s hottest groups” by NME and their tunes praised as “filthy, QOTSA-esque stoner rock” by The Independent in a 5-star live review, local hype soon translated into widespread acclaim, huge support slots and impressive festival appearances.

David Lewis Gedge and his semi-legendary band celebrate a special anniversary live across Ireland and the United Kingdom this September and October.

The Wedding Present was born in Leeds, in 1985.

Rising from the ashes of a band called The Lost Pandas, The Wedding Present was assembled by David Gedge [singing & guitar] and Keith Gregory [bass], when they enlisted the services of Peter Solowka [guitar] and Shaun Charman [drums].

The band’s first single – ‘Go Out And Get ‘Em, Boy!’ –  was released in May 1985 and now shares its title with the first volume of David’s autobiography, in which he describes the early days of playing in and around Leeds.

Since 1985, The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles; not bad for a group that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry’s game. That pioneering spirit has been at the core of the band’s philosophy throughout. From George Best [“an unmitigated delight” (NME)] onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own.

The band are planning several events [including a Wedding Present musical!] to celebrate their forty years in existence, including this wide-ranging tour throughout Ireland and the United Kingdom. These concerts will feature the band playing tracks from across their extensive repertoire and include many of their hits.

The Wedding Present will be joined in Manchester by special guests Mozart Estate. Founded by former Felt and Denim bandleader Lawrence in the late 1990s, Mozart Estate pull together glam rock elements, bleeping synths and tongue-in-cheek lyrics to create B-side bangers.

Nearly 45 years since their formation, and 25 years on from their exaltant reunion in 2000 – CHAMELEONS – are ecstatic to announce a new run of shows for later this year. 

The Middleton post/punk band’s second major tour in as many years, the announcement follows a triumphant series of UK performances that saw them play some of the UK’s biggest and most iconic spaces last December, including a night at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. 

And in 2025, Mark Burgess and the band will be expanding their horizons with 8 shows locked-in nationwide throughout November.

Kicking off at Southampton‘s 1865 on 13th November, the cult band will also be visiting Bristol, Birmingham, Nottingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, and London‘s infamous Electric Ballroom. I

In London and Manchester, Chameleons will be joined by very special guests Kirk Brandon (Theatre of Hate, Spear of Destiny) aKoustiK featuring Sam Sansbury on cello, who will be playing a career-spanning set. 

As is now customary, the tour will also see the return of Chameleons’ legendary pre-Christmas homecoming show ‘HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS… 2025‘. Planning a very special night for what will be the 11th Anniversary in this series of shows, the band will headline Manchester’s salubrious Albert Hall venue once again on 21st November.

Chameleons spent 2024 recording and releasing new music, sharing their new live album, ‘Return of the Roughnecks (Live at The Ritz)’, and a new EP titled ‘Tomorrow Remember Yesterday’. This year, they will release their highly anticipated new album, Arctic Moon, which will mark their first full-length studio record in over two decades. 

The Chameleons’ live band for these dates will feature Mark Burgess (bass / vox), Reg Smithies (guitar), Todd Demma (drums), Danny Ashbury (keyboards), and Stephen Rice (guitar).  With an incendiary setlist already in mind, expect a broad, career-spanning collection of classics plus new material from their forthcoming album ‘Arctic Moon‘ (due out on Metropolis Records later this year).

With additional very special guests for Manchester and London still to be announced, support for the entire tour is confirmed to come from: The Veldt. Emerging in the 1980s, the North Carolina shoegaze soul heroes carved out a distinct niche within the first wave of shoegaze bands worldwide. With their music a mesmerizing blend of ethereal atmospheres, sultry melodies, and irresistible rhythms, they established themselves as a standout presence in the genre. Collaborating with an array of influential artists across their career, including TV On The Radio, Mos Def, and Lady Miss Kier (Deee-Lite), The Veldt released their magnum opus in 1994: ‘Afrodisiac’; a record that has since been ranked as one of Pitchfork’s “Top 50 Shoegaze Albums Ever Released”.

The full list of shows can be found below. Tickets go on pre-sale tomorrow @ 10AM, and general sale this Friday @ 10AM.

Formed in Greater Manchester in 1981 by singer and bassist Mark Burgess, Chameleons have remained one of the city’s most revered bands among musos ever since their inception. With notable fans including the likes of Noel Gallgher to Interpol, The Charlatans to Moby, their music has been passed down through the generations like an elixir of eternal inspiration. And here in 2025, a growing fandom of their immense canon sees Chameleons finding immortality as something of a cult phenomenon. 

With their dedicated advocates finding awe in the “sonic cathedrals” in which they have constructed over the past four decades, Chameleons have released four iconic studio albums (‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983), ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically'(1985), ‘Strange Times'(1986) and latterly ‘Why Call It Anything’ (2001)), plus many Peel sessions, live records, compilations and an EP (‘Tony Fletcher Walked on Water…. La La La La La-La La-La-La’ (1990)). Shimmering, shadowy, and shrouded in deepest mysteries, their distinctive and towering post-punk songs sound as vital today as the moment they were built.

Acknowledging their supporters with an annual homecoming every December for the last ten years, a typically breathtaking pre-Christmas celebration of their music entitled ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is‘, demand for the Chameleons on the live stage has surged to all time high. And with word spreading across the UK, in 2025, the band now set their sights on one of their biggest and most far-reaching UK tours yet.
