Just a few weeks since they released their naughty song Dear Past Life, Sunderland-based 5-piece band Swindled, are back with their new single, Cosmic Immigrants. The production of the song has the cosmic element, but it’s clear from the lyrics that the reference is metaphoric

Bangers come to those who wait

Pre-release review: Simona - The Ariston

The Ariston don’t do average songs. If it’s not a banger, they’re not interested. And if the production is not perfect, they will not have it out there. After Yellow Lines and The Festival, they’re now releasing yet another live show favourite, Simona.

Early single review: Day & Night - Oli Barton

Oli Barton is back with his 4th release in 2024, which for me is his best yet. Just a few weeks after his first headline show in London, he's releasing Day & Night. It's yet another song inspired by his struggles in his love life, but expressed in an up-beat catchy pop vibe.

Social Media Generation - Grace Calver

Early single review

Finally someone is being honest about craving attention and validation through social media. Through her new single Social Media Generation, Grace Calver admits to her obsession to mentions and tags on social media, as a way of validation and possibly a much needed confirmation of someone’s commitment to a relationship. Because if they’re serious about you, what stops them from tagging you on social media to let everyone know? If they’re not tagging you, what should you make of that?

Falling - Apollo Junction

I’m falling all the way down
Shouting will you save me now
From the highest building in this town
Falling

Social Media Generation - Grace Calver

I see you scrolling, and yeah I’m hating
Do your followers even know we’re dating?
Hair and makeup, looking so fine
Still won’t make it to your timeline

Home - Evy Frearson

Any beautiful vision,
That I had of us,
Seeing your eyes in the morning,
Will only ever be,
A distant memory.

Yellow cars don't you worry
Now he's driving on his own
Yellow cars say morning glory
Whilst he makes this trip alone

Yellow Phone - Muddy Elephant

Late at night, I’m scrolling through my yellow phone,
not one single notification
Hoping for justification
Think I’m alright, downloading all the dating zones
waiting for that one conversation
Trying but my patience is fading

Treat Me Like Dirt - Stone Deaf

You got me like a deer in headlights,
I’m thinking bout how I wanna move on.
You tell me that you love and you need me
We both know it’s cos you’re lonely tonight.

The Town - Revivalry

Now everybody’s making their way through the town
Streets round up surrounding the ground
Stage lights up, it's time for the show
All gather round just to let go

Everything You Make I Break - Emergency Break

Gather the town around
And mess up all my brow
As you’re crying in the town hall
Who knows what you’ve found
When you’re messing with me now
And you’re crying in the town hall

Lost Souls - Big Image

Always reliving the moment
Cause my anxieties got in the way the first time
Wishing I said that
I just swallow my words and take another step back
These days they tell you to speak up
Cause the modern man can’t keep this inside
I don’t think I can take it
I just run away
Hope I live another day

The Festival – The Ariston

I decided to leave the night before
Oh and my cousin paid for the ride down
But now I’m driving at 90
To get back to Warrington
In the front of your French-made car
