The Seamonsters release new single 'Wonderland'

After releasing their debut single 'Lost and Found' on the 14th April, the second single to come from Sheffield indie (self-proclaimed as 'indie glitter' - they're not wrong) six-piece The Seamonsters is aptly titled 'Wonderland.' Since coming together as a band in 2013 to selling their own merchandise, you can clearly tell all of their best efforts have gone into this invigorating summer soundtrack.



As I have had this on repeat since Sunday and have familiarised myself with the lyrics, not to mention the rip-roaring riff that makes the song that certified summer anthem, I've had the catchy hook stuck in my head all week. Even when you listen to this once, you're definitely going to have the enigmatic chorus "baby, baby, take me to wonderland / show me crazy things I don't understand" stuck in your head someway and somehow.

This new tune is definitely a massive step in affirming the groups place in the current indie scene, creating unforgettable lyrics at such a young age and amassing the perfect chords to go with it too. The guitar seems to just flow along with the beat of the drums, which is something strangely magical and amazingly ethereal. The riff, however, joins the dots of the core; bringing the song together to make it as memorable as possible. The song as a whole is a sound that will transport you back to a different era with it's euphoric whisper of a classic tune in the making.

The Seamonsters have a sound that will definitely remind you of prominent 80's music and even some notable current bands, such as; Wolf Alice, Black Honey and Peace. Although they have made their stamp on the music industry, creating their own funky-glitter style all while showing off their unity as a band. They've already supported the likes of TRASH and The Rifles so if you like angelic vocals and layers of combined instruments, make sure you catch The Seamonsters as soon as you can! We'll definitely be seeing a lot more of these as 2017 progresses, hence why you should give their new cleverly-written single a listen.

12 Artists in 2021

May it be artists you already know and love that are gearing up to release a much anticipated album, an artist you've yet to delve into but have heard plenty about, or an artist whom you have never heard of before, this list should - and hopefully will - be an accumulation of the sorts.  This past year has been, well, a shit one and it's only getting worse as 2021 gets into full flow. Throughout the dark, dreary and lonesome days of 2020 there has been one constant, and that is the music we have been treated to in light of such a devastating time. With some spectacular albums from many different artists, to comebacks, and to albums that provided us with some light-hearted entertainment, it leaves a lot for 2021 to live up to. With the recent dismissal of the arts from the Government (obviously, the Tories have never consumed a bit of media in their life and, when Matt Hancock said he listened to Grime , that was clearly nothing but a fabrication) and the recent Brexit revelatio...

10 Best Albums of 2020

We can all agree that 2020 has been a tumultuous journey from beginning to end, never failing to provide one disappointment after the other. Seemingly, the only rewarding thing about 2020 has been the music made in lockdown, the albums we've been blessed with or, for some people, it's Taylor Swift releasing not one but two full-length albums this year. Musicians have been unable to perform live, meaning The Night Cafe's 2019 tour is set to take place in 2030 if they're lucky.  I'll have to admit, I've been a bit behind. It'll take me a good few months to sit down and properly listen to an album unless a miracle happens and I listen to it the day it's released. You'll notice that the likes of Phoebe Bridgers and Rina Sawayama aren't on here and, it isn't because I'm not a fan, I'm just the worst kind of procrastinator. I'm sure all of your favourites deserve a spot on here, so I'm going to cement my apology before I continue.  ...

Black Country, New Road release highly anticipated debut album 'For the first time'

  Black Country, New Road start off their highly anticipated debut album with an instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the songs. The track is nothing but effortless; alike puff pastry with its copious layers you’re left struggling to count, and sounding like something soundtracking a Damien Chazelle film.  For the first time , the newest offering from a promising young band (with 7 very good, very talented members), is bound to be divisive — I mean, you can’t please everyone . With the band being compared to acts who don’t fit into any given genre, thus being packed into a box together to form some sort of ‘odd one out’ sound, such as the likes of Squid , black midi , and Girl Band , they’ve become the genre most would describe as simply ‘weird’. What else do you use to describe a band who seamlessly blur the lines between the genres they’re being told they belong to? Sure, they’re a fusion of post-punk and whatever else people brand them as but, for me, they’re a...
