01 Still Knocking At The Door

Surely you consider this a way to get away
Surely you can wait a second in my bed before you get away
He says "hundred lovers pouring from all the walls, 
but it's your lips, hips, tilts I can't replace"
Try to hold back your river and run up to my purple castle

We're crazy all the way through
You grab my hair in black rooms
Foliage down my waist
Blue moon shining through

Surely you've tried to find ways to swallow your faith
On a tilted plane in between the lines you play
I'm trying on new shoes, a new walk, but I forget to talk
You surely look unraveled down in my purple castle

We're crazy all the way through
You grab my hair in black rooms
Foliage down my waist
Blue moon shining through

Let it go before it fades away

Odessa - I Will Be There (Vaults Remix)

'Dilo 12' is a bonus track from Emika's new 'Klavirni LP', a piano music album inspired by a visit to her family home in Buckinghamshire and a reunion with her old favourite piano.

A sober and melancholy journey that sounds like it should have been on the score for Donnie Darko, 'Dilo 12' is a variation on Beethoven's classic Moonlight Sonata, and a great example of how Emika manipulates and evokes emotion on the LP.

Fire in the Sky

A malformed protest song and memorial for all those old school socialists and anarchists and fire raisers that have been pushed aside by the change of history and its political axis - circular folk rock verses remind us of the legacy of these prophets of arcadian utopias and the need for the spirit of the people to endure - these choruses give way to guitar duel solos as the past fights the future of the left the second of these  3 solos has a guest scrabbabang geetar screech from producer Simon Trought - his first since the days of his old group Tompaulin. The last solo has Ben's wonderfully paisley Beatles-esque backwards solo ending the EP as it began and lyrically with a note of hope that the next generation of dreamers fight apathy. When the band began over 20 years ago this Tony Benn form of labour and socialism still breathed and was still valid and we tried to write songs and manifesto that echoed these thoughts but gradually it's become archaic so this song forms a farewell to that and to one element of the groups motifs although the political side will become even more pronounced with the next record it seems pointless to continue with the outdated socialist motifs of then.

The Obsolete Significant Dignified

Cruising's debut will be released by Tough Love on 14th August 2015 in a limited edition of 300 12”, with the first 100 on hot pink vinyl. Pre-order the hot pink pressing here -  http://smarturl.it/Cruising.pinkvinyl 

Cruising are a four piece from Dublin and Belfast made up of Benni Johnston (Vocals), Claire Miskimmin (Guitar/Bass) Neil Brogan (Guitar/Bass) and Sarah Grimes (drums). With previous/ongoing experience in bands such Girls Names, September Girls, Sea Pinks and Logikparty, Cruising began in 2013 as a side project for all four.

Named for William Friedkin’s gay exploitation shocker from 1980, the debut single You Made Me Do That (taken from the killer’s line in the film) dropped in early 2014 on Soft Power records and was recorded live as it was written. Practicing sporadically and playing a string of incendiary/chaotic live shows when schedules allow, CRUISING have now miraculously recorded their debut EP proper for Tough Love. Recorded in two days in a freezing railway arch studio (Dublin’s Guerilla Studios) in January 2015, and mixed at Belfast’s Start Together, the self titled EP shows the band in various guises, morphing between popper’d up Agit-Punk (the re-recorded You Made Me Do That, Woman), psyched out post-punk (Lifting), and riff driven bangers (Safe Corridor, Cutlass, The Spectacle).

Shows in Dublin, Belfast and London TBA.

Still Life [We Came As Strangers]

‘Nice work from the New Town Kings – the best of Brit reggae’ – David Rodigan

Ahead of a busy summer festival schedule, Essex-based ska-reggae upstarts New Town Kings are back with a brand new single, ‘Pack Up Bye Bye’, due for release on 24th July.

The group’s blend of old-school Jamaican rhythms with a fresh dose of UK-inspired ska has steadily earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting names in British reggae – with their sophomore album ‘M.O.J.O’ being described by Punktastic as ‘lusciously layered, crisp, sharp, and emotive’.

More recently, their EP ‘Pull Up and Rewind’ received extensive support from BBC Radio 1Xtra’s David Rodigan, where the band were featured on his spotlight show dedicated to British reggae talent.

Their latest track is a simmering summer rocksteady tune reminiscent of the lovers’ rock of Dennis Brown. Frontman Dabs Bonner comments: “the lyric explores themes of relationship angst to the backdrop of a timeless New Town groove”.

Hailing from New Town, Essex, the Kings’ modern twist on classic Jamaican music has seen them tour the country with the likes of The Skints, Gentlemen’s Dub Club and US reggae legends The Aggrolites. Tireless performers, the nine-piece have clocked up over 500 shows across 10 different countries since their formation.

Their enviable live reputation has continued to grow through 2015, with the band having already played alongside The Specials singer Neville Staple and at Bearded Theory Festival. This summer will see them return to Boomtown Festival and Rebellion Festival ahead of a European tour in support of New York ska legends The Slackers in September.

As well as preparing to entertain live crowds with their sun-soaked sound, the band have also begun work on their third album - clearly this hardworking group are showing no signs of hanging up their horns just yet.
