Tyrannosaurus Dead - Post Holiday Dead Song

'Angela' is a taster for the forthcoming album by Frozy which will be coming out on Odd Box.

FROZY are Irina, Nicol and Rhiannon (sometimes more, sometimes less). They ask for little, and give plenty! Theirs is a dream-pop slumber-party that twangs with twin guitars entwined, and dips the chips in a bittersweet treat! Love songs played for sheer joy; a minimal twist of pounding hearts; a record player spilled over with Beat Happening and Wandering Lucy singles; a colossal rush of impulse, channeled as DIY enthusiasm!

Their lo-fi approach is unfussed and effortless; an authentic promise of summer-spun rain, and disarming honesty. When they sing, it is as though they are singing to each other, and you're accomplice to the conspiracy - but you already wanted in on their gang, to get into reckless pangs and tangles!

Frozy - Angela

'Local Bullies' is taken from 'Flying Ant Day', the debut album by Brighton five-piece indiepop/punkers Tyrannosaurus Dead .

Due for release on Odd Box Records on 3rd November 2014, 'Flying Ant Day' was recorded and produced by Rory Attwell. Artwork by Kieran Gabriel.

Tyrannosaurus Dead - Local Bullies

Lead single 'Cover Up' from the forthcoming album 'New Sense' by The Ethical Debating Society.

The Ethical Debating Society - Cover Up

Lead single from Wolf Girl, newly signed to Odd Box Records.

Wolf Girl are Becky, Chris, Carl and Christabel - a garage pop four-piece based in South London with a shared propensity for long walks on the beach, guitars that look like Cadillacs and feral teenagers. Having met each other through being in awkward teenage bands in the South East, they eventually formed in September 2013.
 
Their debut EP ‘Mama’s Boy’ was released on limited edition cassette on Soft Power Records in November 2014, and stays true to the poppy energy of their frenetic live shows. With admirable authenticity, they record and rehearse in an old garage called Bucket East that backs onto the river Wandle, staying faithful to their garage-rock tendencies. It’s been said that they both do and don’t sound like the Ramones, and have also been compared to both the Shop Assistants and Bratmobile. 

Wolf Girl have their own trademarks though, offering a spirited take on powerful, melodic and jagged indie pop that often recalls the noisier aspects of C86. 


Wolf Girl Deep Sea Diver

T-Shirt Weather -  My Dad's Black Polo

Lead song from forthcoming album by C86 legends The Wolfhounds. Album out in October 2016.

The Wolfhounds - Now I'm A Killer

Cardiff-based DIY pop imprint Odd Box Records are releasing the brilliant new 7" - Coco Sleeps Around - from Oxford's insatiable Rainbow Reservoir. With the full EP to be released September 10th the band are now sharing the title-track from the new record. 

Despite being a relatively new band this is melodic power-pop at it's absolute best and is sure to thrust the band into popular acclaim. On one side the track is sublime, quirky pop but there's a feisty, angst-ridden undercurrent beneath the track. If you're a fan of Tullycraft, Cars Can Be Flue, Waxahatchee and Horowitz then this will definitely be your bag. Vocalist Amelia Space was asked to describe their wistful pop, explaining that "it's punk in spirit and upbeat, has lots of rhythm, and can be romantic but with a dark side" 

Rainbow Reservoir - Coco Sleeps Around

Wolf Girl are a quartet from London. Their debut release was a cassette on the sadly defunct Soft Power Recordings at the end of 2014. In early 2016 the bands debut LP 'We Tried' (Odd Box Records - Peaness, The Wolfhounds, The Ethical Debating Society) was released to wide spread acclaim. The band have fast become a staple of the DIY scene in London and they have started to reach further affield and they got to play the prestigious Swn Festival in Cardiff.
 
The new single 'Moody' is another slice of buzz-tastic garage pop - which is sure to be hit on the pop underground. While the flip side 'Get You' is a pop punk fizzer that rockets by.  The single will come on Pink Cadillac vinyl in an edition of 250. 

FFO - The Spook School, Martha, The Shop Assistants, The Flatmates and The Ramones.

"...crunching guitar lines and languid vocals that stitch themselves together like the most fortuitous of unions." - Gold Flake Paint

"A collection of articulate musings on the themes of sexuality, gender and the anxiety of the introverted, presented with enough humour and energy that a cursory listen could lead you to believe they’re the life and soul of the party." - For The Rabbits

"Sounds like walking on the beach on a sunny but windy day dressed like James Dean. You know, one of those nice pebbly beaches. Like Brighton. It's Brighton. And you're wearing shades. And glitter." - Queer Punx Podcast

Moody - Wolf Girl

The Darling Buds to release new EP 'Evergreen' on Odd Box. The first track to be shared from the EP is 'Complicated'.

After a few years of occasional gigging just for fun, The Darling Buds are delighted to be releasing a new 4 track ep 'Evergreen' on Odd Box Records. This will be the first new material released by the Buds for over 25 years (back in the day they did 3 session for the much missed DJ John Peel) and these new recordings continue the musical evolution seen by the band from their indie pop debut Pop Said to their last release Erotica.

The EP will be released on a limited edition 10" EP and Cassette. There will be 100 green vinyl EPs and 150 in traditional black vinyl. There will be 50 cassettes.
 
The Darling Buds line up is original singer and bass player Andrea Lewis-Jarvis and Chris McDonagh, former guitarists Paul 'Chaz' Watkins from the time of their second album Crawdaddy, and Matt Gray from the Erotica era. Long-time friend of the band Erik Stams completes the line up on drums.
 
The Band members are all still based in Newport, Wales.
