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.

Post-rock outfit HAAL release monumental 'Memorial'

  Following up from their debut single, Carmen Jones , released last year and accumulating just over 1,600 streams, the Bristol rockers have shaken up the system with their latest release Memorial , a cacophony of orchestral sounds mixed with progressive influence. Photo: Amia Watling With a sound reminiscent of Slint and a hint of Nine Inch Nails , HAAL is a band that wouldn’t sound out of place soundtracking a David Fincher m ovie . Memorial is a track that creeps up on you and rewards you for your patience. Even more rewarding is the wall of distortion in the climax of the song, ending the song in beautiful grandness.  There is evidence of the band's knowledge of music theory in their clever usage of dissonance, a complex time signature, and a complex structure so tasteful that if it was plated up in the Masterchef final, it would be more tear-jerking than getting a 7 from Anthony Fantano. The math-rock influence is unmistakable; beginning with the introduction of the dru...

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.  ...

We've moved!

OK, so hear us out... we moved on the 8th March but we've been so busy we forgot to let you know what's occurring. Well, exciting things are happening over on our flashy new site that's, like, ten times better—we promise!  I'll never forget what drove me to create this little blog at 15 in the hopes I could one day write for DIY or the NME, and my morals will always stay the same.  Since we made the big move into professionalism, we've been backlogged with music submissions, over 100 applications to write for us, and an overwhelming amount of support I never expected in a million years. It's funny what life throws at you when you work incredibly hard.  We have a  logo now; a team; almost 700 followers on Instagram; 4k unique visitors to the new website. Things that, if you had told me them 6 years ago, I'd have laughed at you. I didn't believe I could do these things and, yet, here I am doing them. Achieving everything 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 years o...
