the influential band split in 2011. She just announced her first solo longplayer called ‘NO HOME RECORD’ and dropped the surprisingly experimental single ‘ SKETCH ARTIST‘. A fascinating bass synth dominated groove that grabs your aural attention all the way.

London’s Female Engine GHOST CAR Speeds Up On New Single ‘AWKWARD’…

Posted on by JL

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

20 August 2019

Band: GHOST CAR

Who: “An all female rock-riot girl type band, with sickly sweet voices mixed with haunting keyboard sounds and gritty punk guitars and bass. They’re like a mixture between an all female version of the Cramps and a more punk, grunge version of Tennis. Crazy, and dead nice too!”

Pick: AWKWARD – the band’s new and first single for Greenway Records

Score: This oiled London-based foursome speeds up like a Grand Prix race car on their
new flashing ripper. The way they merge pop catchiness and punk velocity will boost your adrenalin’s flow and make your head spin 360°. Their speedy harmonious vocals hit you sharp and clear and their guitars go nuts midway. They buzz and rush like the best. ‘Awkward‘ is an expeditious steamroller. Capture all the giddy commotion right here…

Band: SOROR

Who: Exciting Brussels foursome claiming to produce “indie bathroom rock,
atmospheric confessions and Sicilian lullabies.” Definitely a band with a great
sense of humor and some intriguing musical directions

Pick: SHADOW OF A DOUBT – newest single

Score: Here’s a seductive psych groove balancing somewhere between the mind-expanding vibrations of 60s psych stars Jefferson Airplane and the tempting pop playfulness of Warpaint. Both spellbinding and riveting with glimmering guitars,
a pulsating beat, and bewitching vocals. A trance-like experience! Join here…
