Interviews // The New Divison
‘Pretentious’ or not, when a band name is a mixture between New Order and Joy Division that’s got to be a good sign at the start. Not only does US indie-tech band have some great influences, but the boys from the West Coast play some great eerie synth music (a sort of Empire of the Sun trapped in an evil parallel universe) where their spine-tingling beats have a knack for replacing one’s heart palpitations. Great for either or; unconventional dance parties to lonesome angst-Teen moments (“… Fine, As if I care! I’ll just go and live with Darrell then!). Read more
VIDEOS // MURKAGE // TORCHES
Mad, bad and dangerous to know, Murkage sound huge. Their brand of earthquake-sized electronica, coupled with socially poignant and often controversial lyrics, deftly destroys lazy categorisation. Resolutely uncompromising, the band cryptically describe their creative philosophy as ‘Of Mystics And Misfits’ and their sound simply as ‘Murkage Music’. It is a grimy clarion call to freedom booming through underground speakerboxes worldwide. It’s this high-octane onstage riot of four snarling tongues, massive live drums and a DJ, that has led critics to describe Murkage as ‘probably the best live act in the country today’. After the release of their acclaimed debut EP in 2011 Murkage emerged behemoth-like from the beating heart of Manchester’s nocturnal terrain, making waves throughout the past twelve months.

Videos // BOY // Skin
As they say, “It’s a mannnnsss world”. So, what do you get when you put two girls together? BOY.
Wow, that sounded like a political joke from a very depressing Christmas cracker. Apologies.
However, if you’re in need of cheering up, the girls of BOY (that was a difficult line to type, as if my grammar skills were unable to process inconsistent nouns) play a lovely duet of their track, ‘Skin’ which features a bountiful rhythm, where their lyrics (such as, “you can get out of this party dress, but you can’t get out of this… Skin.”) are as humble and sweet as their chord progression.
