Band: FEMEGADES Who: 4 indies from London who aren’t afraid to confront the listener with
exploring, challenging themes and socially conscious subject matter.
“It depicts a world where every woman who walks down the street has a price tag. Whether it’s the landlord offering a ‘free’ room, or a random guy asking if you need to make some money, it’s a world where men don’t see women as a fellow human being, instead seeing something they are entitled to.”
TUTV: Following last August‘s jagged jackhammer Depleted, this London quartet hit bullseye again with this new roasting steamroller that rushes and races full tilt with electrical vivacity and trenchant vocality, until its sudden crash after just 2 minutes and leaves you behind like ‘what was this all about’ while you reach out for the repeat button
to find out. Don’t forget to raise your middle-finger to all greedy male machos.
London‘s explosive indie rockers their new single DEPLETED.
The follow-up to their critically praised 4-track EP not all men.
“The song explores certain realities of motherhood. There is a pressure placed upon women to savour every aspect of motherhood, even though the reality of non-stop mental and physical hardship often leads many mothers to burn out. Despite this, it’s a subject that is still regarded as taboo, with society placing unrealistic expectations on mothers who ’should just be happy’”.
Turn Up The Volume made it Pick Of The Day and wrote: Hungry guitars start this jagged jackhammer, then make way for avid vocalist EM’s dynamizing discharge and go high-strung all together, annex battering drums, on the sharp-edged and blustery chorus.”

annex battering drums, on the sharp-edged and blustery chorus.
Depleted is a sonic injection of full-on gusto and melodic dashing. Lots of
electricity to turn on the berserk side of your mind and the manic side of
your body movements.

Band: BAUDELAIRE Who: British collective from a black country
producing gloomy ambience and abrasive noise.
Single: LETHE
Tackles the dangerous collation between alcohol and violence.
Holy smoke. When this monumental juggernaut blasts out of your
trembling stereo your body immediately reacts with nervous movements.
Manic drums, schizo guitars/synths, a sky-scraping chorus and heated vocals.
Jordan: “I wrote “Achilles’ Heel” for my college sweetheart. I had the chords
and the music already finished months ago, but for whatever reason I was
struggling with the lyrics. I finished it the day after we had first gotten together.
I thought Achilles’ Heel was a beautiful way to describe our relationship. I think
everybody has their own Achilles’ Heel and mine was Maya.”
It’s the duo’s 7th single from their forthcoming debut album Silhouettes.
An upbeat folksy tune with a both bluesy and feel good vibe. Sticks instantly.
Whistle along.

with indie hooks to create a psychedelic experience.
Single: RULE OF THE RECKLESS
Piece from their upcoming, third, EP The Space In Between Part 2,
self-produced on an iPhone using Garageband IOS.
What an intriguing and compelling ballad this is. Interwoven angelic vocals,
whispering vocals and harmonious vocals create a sort of dreaming in slow
motion atmosphere, while sparkling guitars accentuate this mixed emotions
reverie even more.
As long as indie rock is impassioned, heart-and-soul touching, intense and
electrifying it will always move people around the globe. Evangeline has all
those qualities. It’s a familiar sounding guitar-driven earworm with avid
vocality.
Bingo!

Artist: AYU Who: German singer-songwriter-producer
A soulful and romantic mid-tempo pop pearl. A punchy bass beat,
trippy synths and amorous vocals. I don’t need more to walk on
cloud nine while humming along. Sweet little beauty.
Band: FEMEGADES Who: London-based feminist alt.rock outfit producing a diversity, both lyrically
and sonically, as they experiment with a lo-fi, punk-infused spirit reminiscent of
artists such X-Ray Spex and The Slits.
This steaming ripper rushes full tilt from the kick-off with sick guitar fever,
hitting drum/bass vehemence and front Amazon Emily cranking up the
fervency with her gee-whiz voice.
“A Mindless Move” is written right after such a
delicate moment. Where you just brace yourself
and try to push replay. But that doesn’t matter.
The moment is gone and you move on as well.
Fragile vocals, subtle marimba notes and a shaky guitar, is all the band
needs to embark on a trip that holds you in its grip until the captivating outro.
This self-introspective musing has a soothing and calming
resonance and is a perfect humdinger for midnight hours.
