Forget Me Nots

Over and Over

My Other People

I Have Learnt Nothing

The Umbrellas are one of the most exciting bands to come from the indiepop underground in ages. Bursting out of the SF Bay Area's fertile indie scene, The Umbrellas come correct with a sound that fits snugly into a long line of classic pop, from The Byrds to Orange Juice, The Pastels, Comet Gain, Veronica Falls and Belle & Sebastian, along with a noticeable garage-pop/Paisley Underground flavor that is a hallmark of San Francisco's best bands. Their self-titled 2021 debut album dazzled with a dozen perfect pop tunes, charming the indiepop faithful but also winning fans outside the scene, leading to sold-out tours with bands as disparate as Ceremony and Destroy Boys.

Now The Umbrellas are back with "Write It In The Sky," an instant-classic that simply demanded to be pressed onto a 7" single. Clocking in at just under 3 minutes, "Write It In The Sky" is a thrilling pop rush full of fuzz, melody and excitement that will sit easily next to singles by the likes of Talulah Gosh, Shop Assistants, The Pastels and The Pains of Being Pure At Heart. It's really that good - a sure thing to enter the canon of perennial indiepop floor-fillers. On the b-side we have the heavier "I'll Never Understand," a slow, trippy song with a slightly-delic sound that builds to a noisy crescendo. The band really crushes this one on stage, and it's fast becoming a live favorite. Taken together that point to a mighty bright future for The Umbrellas, and we can't wait to hear what's next!

New single from Mister Strange. Taken from the new EP "Nothing At All" out November 11 2022 via PNKSLM Recordings. Listen/buy: https://www.pnkslm.com/nothing-at-all

Hailing from Manchester, the self-described ‘Wunder-Fuzz’ band Mister Strange have created significant buzz with a run of high-octane live shows and their 2021 debut EP 'I' that channeled the crude, fuzz-punk clamour of The Stooges, The Ramones, and more recently, Ty Segall or Thee Oh Sees.

The band are led by vocalist/drummer Tomas Walmsley (also of acclaimed band the Fruit Tones), and completed by Callum Rogers on bass, Ste Bradbury on guitar and vocals, and Daryl Taylor on guitars. Together they have embroiled the heavy noises of punk, garage and psych into an electrifying smatter of organised chaos.

With previous projects garnering support from CLASH Magazine, So Young, Dork and Brooklyn Vegan, as well as airplay on BBC Radio 6, Mister Strange are operating from secure foundations. Now they are ready to return with new EP "Nothing At All", out November 11th on Swedish indie label PNKSLM Recordings. An EP that over six tracks finds the band at their roaring best.
