Single Review.... Sam Lee – Goodbye My Darling

Sam Lee ended 2012 on a all time high, his album “Ground Of It's Own” was nominated for the Barclycard Mercury Prize that year, and this year welcomes him with open arms and with a lot more fans to entice into his musical world. Goodbye My Darling: The track starts off with a synth line, a bit strange considering that Sam is a folk artist, however it creates another level for the listener to ponder over. With aboriginal digarey-doo sounds and even more intricate noises coming forth, such as violins, the acoustic guitar and his haunting vocals. He really delves deep into the folk treasure chest here to unleash some exciting sounds. Out of 10: 7.5/10 Follow / [FACEBOOK]

Nellie Feldmann shares the beautiful new song, "Turn Down My Shine"

Nellie Feldmann's new single, "Turn Down My Shine", has just been released. The single is a shimmeringly beautiful acoustic track with licks of indie folk for good measure. It is a vocally rich track that showcases her vocals perfectly and, all the while, is laid upon a track that has a perfect tempo to get you tapping along without realising. ... a delicate, genre-blending acoustic gem that highlights a promising new voice in alt-pop. Based in Brighton, the South Coast artist seemingly blends intimate vocals, warm lo-fi textures, and delicate acoustic instrumentation to craft an alt-pop track that is rather easy to pick up on for anyone who wishes to listen. It's not the kind of song that sticks to one genre and focuses highly on that. She picks great elements and moulds them all together to create something so captivating. Even the atmospheric vocals around the two-minute mark were a wonderful addition. Considering this is only her second ever single, this is absolu...

[INTERVIEW] The Snuts

The Snuts are right at the forefront of exciting young indie bands currently on the music scene. Signed to Parlophone and currently on a headline tour of the UK and Ireland before they join Lewis Capaldi for his UK tour dates The Snuts spoke to It’s All Indie ahead of their sold-out Southampton show at The Joiners. The Snuts. Jack, Joe, Callum & Jordan You played Birmingham last night, how was that? It was really good. With the last run of gigs we did it wasn’t as evident that people were coming to see us but on this run nearly every room’s been full, sold-out every single gig, even tonight has sold out. How does that feel? It’s quite surreal especially in England. We always try for that in Scotland and it’s kinda taken a while to travel down South but now it’s just like it’s genuinely felt like we’ve been in a room in Scotland every night this tour, it’s quite refreshing. I first saw you on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading Fest 18. Oh...

JP2 reveals his cover of "Enter Sandman" by Metallica

Hailing from DeLand, Florida, solo artist JP2 completely redefines independent rock with his audacious new single, "Enter Sandman". The cover of Metallica's standout song is quite the piece, with a slightly brighter tone, which leans more towards the alt-rock and indie rock genres. ... a bold reimagining of a metal classic that transforms "Enter Sandman" into an indie-rock anthem. Yes, the vocals are still as dark as the original, with the main guitar also being very deep, but the overall feel of this track is fantastic and can easily hold a candle to the original. It does feel like it's been taken up a semitone or two, especially with the chorus feeling more like a track you'd hear at Reading and Leeds Festival or even Glastonbury, for that matter. I love these sorts of covers that reinvent a classic song into one that artists can call their own. With JP2 doing that, we ended up listening to his previous singles, and there's much more to discover if...

Track of the week... Crystal Fighters - Champion Sound (Acoustic)

With their Electronic-Acoustic-DubStep-Dance orientated début album it's refershing to see a great live band record an amazing track acoustically. It is a part of the re-released album 'Star Of Love (Deluxe Version)' which is out now. 'Champion Sound (Acoutsic)' is more like how they play it live (bar the electronics), with a different layout than the album version this one is brilliant! They all really do put their hearts and souls into this song as you can hear when the chorus pops up. Energetic yet a calming song to listen to. Crystal Fighters have found that Spanish lad inside of me! [FACEBOOK] [OFFICIAL SITE]

The Origins of Indie Rock Music: From Underground Roots to Global Stages

Indie rock music is one of the most beloved and influential genres in modern music. Known for its DIY ethos, raw authenticity, and refusal to conform to mainstream industry norms, indie rock has evolved from underground beginnings into a global movement. But where did indie rock come from, and how did it grow into the genre we know today? What Does “Indie Rock” Mean? The term “indie” originally stood for independent . In the late 1970s and early 1980s, bands that weren’t signed to major record labels released their music through smaller independent labels . Over time, the word “indie” became less about the business model and more about the sound and attitude —raw, experimental, and often outside the mainstream. The 1970s: Punk and Post-Punk Influence Indie rock’s origins are deeply tied to the punk rock explosion of the mid-1970s. Bands like The Sex Pistols and The Clash proved that music didn’t need polished production or major backing to make an impact. Out of punk came post-punk ...

Interview with...Nothing But Thieves

Alternative rock five-piece Nothing But Thieves have been conquering the music scene this year. With an incredible debut album released last month and numerous epic singles, there is no stopping this band. We caught up with guitarist Joe and bassist Phil before their headline show at a sold-out Thekla in Bristol. The show itself was outstanding, the live-set itself was flawless and the boat literally rocked. Check out our interview below: First question, so how did the name Nothing But Thieves come about? Joe: There’s a quote and it said, ‘Don’t be impressionable, your religious leaders are nothing but mega thieves.’ I don’t think mega thieves is a very good band name, but thought Nothing But Thieves is a good band name so there you go. Phil: What would a mega-thief be like? Joe: Steals everything like it’s not bolted down, it’s gone! When did you all decide to form a band? Were you always a five-piece? Joe: It kind of morphed. It was probably myself, Conor and Dom. We ...

Emerald Park shares the intimate new single, "A Song To C"

Based out of Malmo, Sweden is Emerald Park, and today it sees the act reveal their rich new single, "A Song To C". The song is a tender, slow-burning affair that is laced with lots of rich synthy moments and sprinklings of electronic noises. ... a tender, synth-soaked slow burn where Nordic melancholy, thick basslines, and lived-in intimacy collide in atmospheric indie pop. The track is all about an intimacy that feels lived-in rather than staged, much like how a lot of people's relationships felt intensified during that lockdown we all had back in 2020. "A Song To C" is a very atmospheric tune too, with great airy sounds that echo off one another, all balanced off with a thick bass undertone. The Nordic melancholy is hard to ignore on this, and with the act having hundreds of thousands of plays on Spotify, it's no wonder that their fans come back time and time again for the emotive and somewhat dark tones. A Song To C by Emerald Park Want us to hear you...
