“a cacophony of clattering drums and belt-it-out choruses Los Campesinos! or Martha would be proud of evidence that Adults seem to have stumbled into something rather marvellous” 
For The Rabbits

“There’s an ample buoyancy from the vocal work, and the guitars are crunchy, though I like how they’re a bit tempered here; think of Martha having to play at your local library…hooks, but just a little more subdued. There’s just something about this song that radiates joy” Austin Town Hall

South London DIY punk outfit adults today release the final single single “tfl has a lot to answer for” form their forthcoming debut album “for everything, always”, coming out on October 14th on Fika Recordings.

The new single things we achieve is “a reflection of drinking way too much in yr mid 20s, staying up too late, burning yrself out and how it impacts on yr relationships and mental health” it’s two and a half minutes of delightfully scrappy, catchy DIY pop that’s sure to appeal to fans of Los Campesinos, Martha and Johnny Foreigner.

adults are a noisy pop band desperately clinging on to the ghosts of 2009. 
Their songs are a silly, joyful, and occasionally sad, look back at the tail end of their 20s, a way to grapple with breakups, parties, alcohol and loneliness, and looking hopefully into the future.
They’ve released singles with Art Is Hard and For The Sakes Of Tapes, and self released an EP (The Weekend Was Always Almost Over), which was subsequently released on vinyl by Caballito records. They’re based in south London.

adults are
carl (he/they) - bass
joe (he/him) - drums
joely (she/they) - guitar and singing
tom (he/him) - guitar, synth, singing

Blacklisters' new "Leisure Centre" EP is due out via Sad Tapes (UK) and Exploding In Sound Records (US) on November 18th.

Blacklisters - Why Deny It?

“Effervescent psychedelia given a 2k22 overhaul” Clash Magazine

“Spongy cinematic trip…wispy surf rock” So Young Magazine

“A modern day psych-pop classic” Under The Radar

“Now Hear This” The Independent

Nottingham psych-pop specialists Midnight Rodeo share brand new effort ‘The Big Melt’.

Bursting onto the scene earlier this year with tantalising debut cuts ‘Now You’re Gone’ and ‘Shootout Sunday’, the group’s swaggering homage to 60’s lo-fi garage rock has already drawn influences from the likes of Allah-las, Juniore, La Luz and Pink Floyd, with enigmatic frontwoman Maddy Chamberlain’s alluring vocals nobly supported by a densely layered, atmospheric sound that combines slick psychedelia with Morricone-esque soundscapes.

Detailing their release, the six-piece revealed: “We were once a bit out of sorts walking through town and accidentally joined a Brazilian drum parade. I'm sure it was entirely coincidental timing, but we felt like that dog who thinks the parade is for them. I feel like we tried to recreate that feeling of finding yourself lost in an awakening world within a mundane day, and brought in Sam’s (keys, synths) Dad & brother to help with all the additional percussion to give it a Latin feel. It’s a big old good time party tune”.

With significant praise already from the likes of So Young Magazine, Clash, The Independent, Rough Trade and Under The Radar, and live slots ticked off alongside acts including The Bug Club and FEET, Midnight Rodeo will be heading out on their own debut headline UK tour this November to coincide with their single release.

Terry - Centuries

Pastor always preaching 
I cant hear a thing im fighting demons 
Far out in the deep end 
Swimming for the shore i hope 
You see me 

(Verse 1) 

Spoek Mathambo 
Orlando Pirates 
Up my racks and i up my bucks 
Overdosing on her love
Love potion in my cup
Mamohashwa look like a mermaid
I cant seem to get enough 
Turn me on with just a touch 
All the love done turn to trust 
Ah man
Girl that booty provoking
Tokoloshi in motion
Eating her cookie her fortune 
Ah man 

(Bridge) 

Im a monster lover
She's a spirit plucker
Got no way to die young 
Living in a ghost town 

(Verse 2) 

You can miss me, bitch please 
I know you wanna be my mistress 
I know you hear but dont listen 
Cooking but dont own a kitchen 
Whenever im feeling malicious 
Play hide and seek with the witches 
Somebody said superstitious 
Im not vigilant im vicious 


Monster Lover

The Bad Side of the World
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey


[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
This is the bad side of the world
Where you never can grow old
When you cannot pull your weight
You are left out in the cold

You learn to fear the stick
For a moment hesitate
You will feel a nice sharp kick
and they'll take away your plate

You better keep on moving quick
and you can't ever get sick
Can't miss a day and not show up
If you  do, your time is up

your time is up

[chorus]
You need to make your masters happy
They want service, make it snappy
You need to do it with a smile
And keep their toilets clean
You only have one purpose
To service the machine

[instrumental]

[verse]


[chorus]
You need to make your masters happy
They want service, make it snappy
You need to do it with a smile
And keep their toilets clean
You only have one purpose
To service the machine

[2:15][instrumental]

[verse]
This is the bad side of the world
The streets ain't lined with gold
The pavement's always wet
And you always feel the cold

You can't afford to pay the rent
In one day your money's spent
You beg for food and one more hit
Just one more until you quit

The police are on their way
They plan to take you all away
They'll want to lock you up
If you run, your time is up

your time is up

[chorus]
You need to make your masters happy
They want service, make it snappy
You need to do it with a smile
And keep their toilets clean
You only have one purpose
To service the machine

[outro]

Arrangement:
Kick off with raw, fuzz-laden guitars and heavily distorted power chords, backed by dynamic, punchy drums and a gritty, driving bassline. Verse sections lean louder with strong clear, spoken-style vocals and minimalist instrumentation, exploding to full, aggressive intensity in the chorus. End with a noisy outro, layers of feedback and loose, unpolished playing.
