Debut Album Of The Month

DEBUT SINGLE OF THE MONTH – OCTOBER 2024

Posted on by JL

30 October 2024

Band: WENCH!
Who: Fresh indie trio from Hull (UK) who fuse Riot Grrrl punk with
alternative rock & pop. This all-female, all-queer outfit are actively
speaking out about misogyny and mistreatment of women, ensuring
their gigs are a safe space.

FFO: Lambrini Girls, Dream Wife, Amyl And The Sniffers

Debut single: SHREDS

“Shreds is a song for anyone who feel intimidated by social situations to an extent they don’t say what they mean. We believe in expressing ourselves in a raw & unfiltered way which can sometimes backfire but enables us to speak from the heart. As a band, although we feel our songs can have a deeper meaning, we like to describe said songs in just a few words, being direct while refusing to be polite & quiet about the issues we face”.

TUTV: What a towering debut. Fervid emotions flame up all the way through this exuberant cryout. At its core it’s a powerhouse pop song hijacked by fierce guitars and relentless drum/bass explosiveness. On the overwhelming chorus, the singer scrapes the sky with hearty vocals and the intense climax tears your overheated stereo to shreds. Wowzers! Punktastic! Come back soon!

Debut Album Of The Month – Canadian Songwriter Known As MILES FROM NOWHERE With The Magnificent ‘SLOW DOWN’

Posted on by JL

31 March 2023

Artist: MILES FROM NOWHERE
Who: The moniker of indie songsmith
Miles Evans-Branagh from Hamilton, Ontario.

Debut album: SLOW DOWN

Miles: “Slow Down offers a clear message: it’s not about where you’ve been,
where you are, or where you’re going, what matters is who you’re with.”

TUTV: Eight songs. Eight musings. Eight engrossing compositions with one and
the same message: get high on life with love. Craftily written, subtly arranged, and graciously orchestrated with intimate, soulful charm and stylish elegance that moves
and touches.

I’ll give you some hints. The ghostly atmospherics of Sparklehorse (Garden / Museum / Passenger), the great late genius Prince in funky slo-mo (What Am I To Do?), and the romanticism of Father John Misty (Last Forever / Get Up, Get Dressed). No, I’m not just throwing around some big names for no reason. Slow Down is a marvelous feat that
excels at uncomplicated, yet oh-so-affecting singer-songwriting finesse.
