2016FEB

Hailing from London, but with ties in Surrey (and a little village called Bildeston), Passport To Stockholm have just announced their debut single ‘Imperfections’, with a launch show planned for 16 September, at the Barfly, London.

‘Imperfections’ is the follow up to the band’s ‘Chemistry EP’, which saw love and acclaim from the likes of BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio and many more, towards the tail end of last year.

The ‘Chemistry EP’ was funded purely by the band’s loyal fan base through a Pledge Music campaign, reaching their funding target in just two short days.

This new single stands as an honest and triumphant step in to the limelight, candidly portraying the idea that it’s people’s imperfections that define us all as individuals, and that without these flaws, the world would be a far blander place to be.

Vocalist Barny, and guitarist Tom have been working on material together since the tender age of 14, but it wasn’t until last year the band’s line up was complete, adding the skills of cellist Sophie English, and percussionist Henri Grimes.

The addition of these final two members, has allowed the band to hone their sound, and with ‘Imperfections’ they’ve crafted a near perfect acoustic indie-folk track. The gorgeous strings snake in and out of the lively rhythm section, with Barnard’s warm vocals acting as the perfect compliment to the expertly produced instrumentals.

The band have been working with acclaimed producers Gordon Mills Jr and Amy Wadge, who collectively have produced and helped write records for Lissie, Ed Sheeran, Newton Faulkner and Lewis Watson to name a few. Additionally, the quartet have been working closely with Carey Willets, of Athlete fame, whom they have built a strong bond with during the production and writing process.

With a whole host of very well received festival performances already under their belt, and more booked for the remainder of the summer, the future looks very bright for Passport To Stockholm.

Their music is one that captivates the listener from the offset, a compelling combination of thought provoking lyrics, acoustic-folk infused instrumentals, and a heart of gold.

Passport To Stockholm are: Barny Barnard, Tom Piggott, Sophie English, Henri Grimes.

PASSPORT TO STOCKHOLM - IMPERFECTIONS

Medic

HEIM is a new Norwegian pop-duo. Their dripping, pumping, freshly made single "Secret" is an electro-organic symbiosis of pop, pastel and longing. In a porous soundscape with Påls pulse and Åse Avas breath.

"My" lyricist hit the nail with this song text. 

I Was Taught

(v1)
I was taught
If you have nothing good to say
It’s good to say nothing
Social media changed the game
Instead of biting their tongue
Some prefer to inflict pain

(v2)
I was also taught
It’s better to build others up
Then to tear them down
But not everyone agrees
Some would rather see
Others beg on their knees

(chorus)
Opinions, everyone has one
Many should be left unsaid
Others should be left unread
Hiding behind a screen
Allows hate to spread
And it can cut to the bone
Maybe take a break
Maybe, lose the phone

(v3)
But if you choose to comment
You will come under attack
There is little you can do
It’s many against one
You’re facing a hate movement
And it can’t be undone

Instrumental part

(bridge)
I was taught
To trust in yourself
Tune out the unfiltered hate 
Don’t let others set your mood
Like yourself for the right reasons
Don’t let the movement intrude

(chorus)
Opinions, everyone has one
Many should be left unsaid
Others should be left unread
Hiding behind a screen
Allows hate to spread
And it can cut to the bone
Maybe take a break
Maybe, lose the phone

I Was Taught feat. Paul Dempsey

“I Adore” by Saints No More is a fiery, feel-good hard rock love anthem that celebrates passion, devotion, and the unstoppable pull of desire. It’s bold, it’s playful, and it’s drenched in the kind of energy only a song written straight from the heart can carry.

The verses are packed with heat—seductive eyes, electrifying touches, and the thrill of being completely captivated by someone who sets your soul on fire. The pre-chorus builds with swagger, before the chorus explodes into a declaration of obsession and joy: “She’s in my head, got me losing control, my heart’s on fire, it’s burning up my soul.”

As the track unfolds, the story turns from pure passion to something deeper—gratitude, commitment, and the hope of forever. By the final chorus and outro, “I Adore” stands as both a love song and a rock anthem, where infatuation meets true devotion.

Musically, it’s classic Saints No More—driven riffs, soaring hooks, and a chorus built to ignite a crowd. It’s the kind of track that celebrates love not as a whisper, but as a roar.

PHOTOGRAPH
Little shogun, what a mess.
Wearing black slacks and maroon rayon vest.
Trying not to be provincial, trying to be direct.
"Hey, can you leave the screen door cracked?
And no you don't even have to ask 

to take my photograph"

Statement haircut, five feet tall.
Back to Deerfield in the fall and I can still see you--
drinking something questionable outside that pizza shop.
Trying to make the townies laugh
and hustling a ride to Western Mass 

just like a photograph.

You can take my photograph.
