Weekly indie fuel

7 March2023

Band: FEATHER TRADE
Who: Post-punk trio (Athens, GA USA & Manchester UK) that crosses boundaries with integrity and raw, passionate honesty that’s all but vanished across the musical landscape. Their mini-anthems are rallying calls to the disenfranchised, the politically and sexually marginalized, to anyone watching in dismay as the commodification of society, and art in particular gathers pace.

New single: JUST LIKE FILM
From their upcoming debut LP.

TUTV: This is a blood-curdling, slowly progressing psych jam coming from
a dark place. The frontman’s psychotic wailing sends shivers down your spine,
the haunting progression is bone-chilling and the shadowy bass play sounds
as if Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order) was invited to join this somber procession.

Tune in.

Band: THE BAKES BROTHERS
Who: Canadian newcomers
from British Colombia.

Debut single: IN WAVES

TUTV: These young wolves nail it big time with their debut stroke.
A spiraling, guitar-charged power-pop belter, going forth and back,
up and down. Made me think immediately of up-and-coming Irish
stars Inhaler. Way to go, brothers!

Roll it.

Band: LOST IN JAPAN
Who: Canadian pop/rock team that
released its debut album in 2018.

New single: FROM THE START

Key line “I don’t know what I’m doing, from the start I’ve been losing you” encapsulates this new song which holds varied meaning for the listener whether it rings true for a failing relationship, self-reflection on life’s trajectory, or a musician making their way in the music industry.

TUTV: Wowzers! This new punchy piece jumps up and down in your head and elevates your mood from the kick-off. It’s a contagious foot-stomper with a poppy chorus vibe inviting you to play air guitar and sing along with all the force your lungs can come up with.

Anthemic upper!

Check it out.

Artists: MALIBU HOT FLUSH
Who: A serendipitous collaboration between singer/guitarist Luigi Tiberio
and modular artist Tim Bleasdale, based in London.

New single: TOO MUCH
From the duo’s upcoming album.

TUTV: It’s back to the 80s nightclubs filled with 24-hour party people going e-static.
Pet Shop Boys and New Order synth-trip all over Too Much. I guess you don’t need more information to get up, stand up and fight for your right to dance yourself in a giddy state.

Plug in.

Band: DEEP DYED
Who: Bedroom pop quaret from Hamburg, Germany.

New single: MEMORY STARTS TO BLOOM

“It’s about that weekend feel with an unmade bed which is a place for lounging around during the day and being carefree, at night a place of dreams, where the experiences and feelings are processed and take on new forms.”

TUTV: To close this indie fuel edition you can relax to this shiny guitar-sparkling lullaby.
It echoes the melancholic and lovey-dovey rainbow pop of Scottish dreamers Belle and Sebastian. A perfect tune for a lazy and carefree weekend.

Watch/listen.
