Lyrics;

Take me to the forthcoming sea
take me to the place who exists only in dreams
take me to the place where real love exists
take me to the place of wonders

So many dreams undreamed
so many hopes unhoped
so many acts forgiven

Here it comes
i have seen it
catch it
it will never pass away
ever

A place where real freedom exist
where you can open your heart without getting hurt

disappeared to be myself

A Place

With 'The Three Shades', Vukovar emerge once more from amongst the ruins of fallen industry and issue a proclamation: but rather than spell it out, these hushed voices speak in concrete-language. To understand you must submit to the subliminal.

This time the trio are joined by 80's cult movie star, ‘Queen of the B's’ Dawn Wildsmith; truly a match made in purgatory. 

‘The Three Shades’ is a glimpse into Vukovar’s ever evolving creative processes, where the minimal is maximalist and all things real and unreal are just grist for the mill.

The Three Shades

Vukovar - The Three Shades

Miles away

Ocean waves hits the shore. That’s for sure. Please bring some light to ease a troubled mind. Mind the things that reminds us of the ocean. Let the waves break and roll away

Picking blue berries in the woods. Green ground, it’s what I see. What I feel. Wait for a moment and realize. You are one.

Offret - Roll Away

2017 single / lim ed. 7" vinyl (BBI 0297)http://bbislandmusic.com/shop/she-keeps-bees-our-bodies-7inch-vinyl-limited
performed, recorded by She Keeps Bees, 
written by Jessica Larrabee

::: Our Bodies :::
Basic Right
we must defend
choose whether and when
without being demonized
cause what control
can we have with 
no control
her body knows
need no chaperone
mother crow
help us mother crone
crow out it’s not your choice
we dare to practice  
medicine 4000 years old
but what’s important now
is that I mind my body and you mind your own
underside
for those who can afford the right 
risk sickness, death or cast aside
to the hell with a woman's life
mother crow
help us mother crone
crow out it’s not your choice
lie to control me? 
we demand autonomy
your fear is sickness not hereditary 
let me liberate me
our bodies  our own
our bodies are our own
our own body  our own choice
don’t control me
we demand autonomy
your fear is sickness not hereditary
let me liberate me

Jessica Larrabee about the song:

"I wrote this song last year, during the election, as I watched my mother's fight become my own. It’s a response to the calls from various politicians to strip women’s healthcare rights away in many states.

While writing, I tried to evoke the voices of my ancestors to help me say: we will not be punished or denied healthcare, and we will not be silenced.

In the lyrics, “Mother Crow” represents watchfulness. They have been known to alert prey to hunters, warning dear and other birds of coming danger. In fairytales and myths, crows are the keepers of the narrative and speak to us directly. 

The song summons energy to break the cycle of control, calls on our ancestors and wise animal guides, to crow-out for all spirited, liberated women: “Our own body, our own choice.”

Electronic duo Warm Digits have announced details of their third album. Wireless World will be released 4th August on Memphis Industries, and features guest appearances from Peter Brewis of Field Music, Sarah Cracknell of Saint Etienne and Mia La Metta of Beards.
To celebrate, the Newcastle duo (AKA Andrew Hodson and Steve Jefferis) have today shared standout track "The Rumble and The Tremor." Guest vocalist Devon Sproule articulates the ambivalence of a power station which provides employment for a deprived area but at what cost? “The future is paid for by the rumble and the tremor."
Wireless World is loosely themed around a present-day that teeters between progress and collapse. The band explain: “Our experience of the world and our states of mind are shaped and thrilled by unimaginably exciting leaps in technology, and yet that world will only last for a few moments as we fail to find a way to act collectively on rising temperatures, the failures of democracy and the unstoppable hunger for exploitation of the ground under our feet. This record is our attempt to make music from our experience of this present that teeters between celebration and devastation.”
The band will be performing at Green Man Festival 17th-20th August.

Wireless World

Warm Digits - The Rumble and the Tremor (feat. Devon Sproule)

... changing moods and blurred diffuse layers of life. A self reflection adjusting to a crazy changing life. Black and white mixed to grey...

LYRICS:
refrain:
these times
are driving me crazy
and i've been way to lazy
and suddenly the opportunity
turnes my vision blurry
and all the stimulation
breaking my senses disabled (disabled)
and my true glory enabled
and i still don't understand

verse1:
reflecting my today
sunny yesterday seems so far away
voices i don't want to obey
sunny yesterday seems so far away
stop myself from finding solutions
sunny yesterday seems so far away
i need to don't give a... fuck (that's why)
sunny yesterday seems so far away

bridge 2x:
tomorrows leftovers
today still shine
the joy today
slowly fades away
what stays in my mind 
my memories
stay joy today 
slowly fades away

refrain

verse2:
and suddenly life's changing rhythm
and i feel driven
no more limitations
fear's out of here
grabbin a beer
i'm in a big swirl
in this world
and they stir
don't let them disturb
your plans
go out there and spread the seeds
create a mesh of possibilities
i only need to fail
on a bigger scale
(and again and again and again)

[THE CAVE] by SIAMÉS 
From debut album "Bounce into The Music"

*Music & lyrics by SIAMÉS.
*Produced, recorded & mixed by Guillermo Porro.

LYRICS

YOU RUNAWAY WITH THE LOVE THAT YOU GAVE ME
YES, YOU RUNAWAY WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
DEEP INSIDE MY HEAD IS THE CAVE IN WHERE I BEGIN
TO FEEL LOST WITHOUT YOU

WOULD YOU RATHER TALK OR POUR THIS BOTTLE OF BOURBON DEAR
‘CAUSE NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY, THE BOAT WANTS TO SINK
DEEP INSIDE MY HEAD IS THE CAVE IN WHERE I BEGIN
TO FEEL LOST WITHOUT YOU

THEN WE WALKED AWAY 
JUST TO BE OK
AND WE’RE FALLING HARD 
AND WE’RE CRAWLING EMPTY

WE RUNAWAY 
BUT THERE IS NO PLACE
NOW THE MOON IS HIGH 
AND MY SOUL IS EMPTY

WE WILL FADE AWAY 
BUT I’M NOT OK
CAUSE THE LOVE YOU GAVE, 
THE LOVE YOU GAVE IS LOST
LOST…

“CAUSE I’M NOT DEAD, 
BUT SOMETHING KILLED ME THAT NIGHT
IT HURTS TO BE OK WHEN YOUR ARE NOT OK…
I’M NOT OK.”

THEN WE WALKED AWAY 
JUST TO BE OK
AND WE’RE FALLING HARD 
AND WE’RE CRAWLING EMPTY

WE RUNAWAY 
BUT THERE IS NO PLACE
NOW THE MOON IS HIGH 
AND MY SOUL IS EMPTY

WE WILL FADE AWAY 
BUT I’M NOT OK
CAUSE THE LOVE YOU GAVE, 
THE LOVE YOU GAVE IS LOST
LOST…

Bounce Into The Music

The Cave

„ NEW from Kristy And The Kraks „Snakes On The Phone“ 4 Tracks EP on Fettkakao. Kristy And The Kraks, affectionately known as the two-headed love child of Kate Kristal and Ana Threat, are wreaking havoc on the sensibilities of unsuspecting analog lovers, club kids, and vinyl freaks from Vienna to Chicago. Bristling with handfuls of vipers, ripped-out telephone cords, haywire guitar strings, strangulated utterances, and femme fatale crash & flash, KATK have elevated CAVE-GIRL garage anthems to a new level of sleek ULTRA TRASH AuGoGo. If you are not listening to „SNAKES On The Phone“, you’re wasting your time.“
- Tav Falco, 2017

Talk To Me Like I'm Dead

Going Postal

Stardust

いつかはこんな期待も忘れていく
いつかは何も見えなくする　不確かなヒカリ

いつかはどんな思い出もかすれていって
どこかにたどり着いたフリで　笑い合うなんて・・・・

どんな涙も意味ありげに映すシナリオ
どんな言葉も無意味な眼に映すシナリオ
僕らいつかを探し疲れて終わるシナリオ
そばには確か誰かいたのに忘れるシナリオ

どんな雑音も君の声でかき消されていく
求めていたのはたわいもないね　そんなシナリオ
見えない未来は見ないでいいよ　どれもシナリオ
そばには君がいたなら全部それがシナリオ

'If This Isn't Love' is the brand new single by Ghosts of Social Networks released via Integrity Records.

After touching on the darker side of politics on previous single 'Outside The Wheel', the band now return to the subject matter of iconic debut 'Love Potion' with an upbeat but introspective look at how beliefs change with time, casting doubt on all you previously held true.

The alter-ego of Manchester based Nathan Till, Ghosts of Social Networks play live with Ben Dargue on drums and Andrea Gobbi on bass. ‘If This Isn’t Love’ was produced by Gavin Monaghan (Editors, Robert Plant, The Sherlocks).

Inspired by new wave, Nick Cave and The National, GOSN have enjoyed spot plays on BBC 6 Music & Kerrang! Radio, playlisting at Amazing Radio & BT TV, a live session on Fubar Radio, and support at BBC Introducing Manchester, several Triple-A stations in the USA and over 25 UK regionals.

“A perfect example of  far-reaching indie rock, with a fitting dash of new wave vibes” – Fame Magazine

“The band’s intrinsic sound is still one which proudly captures an essential Manchester vibe”  – Louder Than War

“They write anthemic rock tunes with catchy melodies & choruses the size of houses”  – One On One Music

Ghosts of Social Networks - If This Isn't Love

Lyrics:

You loosen your grip.
You follow all the signs.
Holding your pace,
You follow in line.
Waiting for the perfect time
To travel in pursuit.
Trying not to cry,
Following the passive route

Her voice became delicate
Her words travel with no intent
I can only wonder what it was.
x2

It'll be a service
It'll be no use to you
I'll be of service
I'll be no use to you

GLASS PEAKS announce stirring new single “I’m Okay”, slated for release Wednesday 26th July

"Glass Peaks make huge, catchy, riffy tunes" - Abbie McCarthy, BBC Radio 1

"DIY-ing themselves to the mainstream" - Metro

"Glass Peaks could quite easily go on to be one of 2017’s break out bands" - Louderthanwar

Sporting a refreshed line-up, Kent’s up-and-comers Glass Peaks return to the frontline as a trio, unleashing the powerful and emotive Kristofer Harris (Bear’s Den, Ghostpoet, Clock Opera) produced “I’m Okay”.

With the band’s early outputs receiving plaudits and airplay from the likes of BBC Radio 1, 6Music, Absolute Radio and BBC Introducing, “I’m Okay” is sure to propel Glass Peaks to the next level. Expertly crafted with razor-sharp production, its raucous riffs offset by delicate harmonies, the track is driven by a rousing rhythm section leading to the wall-of-sound climax the band is fast becoming synonymous for.

Early support for "I'm Okay" has already seen the track added to Spotify's 'The Indie List', play listed on Amazing Radio and crowned 'Record of the Week' on BBC Introducing in Kent.

Having recently completed their first UK-wide tour in early 2017, the three-piece are midway through a string of festival appearances including a debut EU performance in Luxembourg;

30/04 – Canterbury, City Sound Project w/ White Lies
11/05 – London, Dingwalls – Hobgoblin & Spotify “Unsung Heroes” tour
13/05 – London, CloseUp Festival
27/05 – Margate, Dreamland w/ Maximo Park
03/06 – University of Kent, Summer Ball
17/06 – Luxembourg, Fete de la Musique
14/07 – Maidstone, The Vicar’s Picnic
28/07 – London, Hoxton Bar & Kitchen
25/11 – Leeds, Kazoopa Festival

Chapter iv
I knew not what was happening to me. I could feel within my mind, an intrusion. An infection of sorts that was spreading viciously. As it spread, I could sense there no longer being a concept of it being my mind. It was theirs and I was a speck of dirt lurking in the shadows. They stomped and wretched about as though they owned it. As though they owned me.
I gathered my strength, not for a full blown retaliatory assault, rather a clandestine infiltration. To infiltrate the infiltrators. As I observed them closely, I realized we are not that different, and as I inspected further with a gut wrenching epiphany I realized that they are all me. 
And now they were ready to prove their evil to themselves. Yet I knew they were all me and as I stared at each of them, yearning for them to see that, they began transforming into clearer and calmer iterations. Simple reflections of myself, and as I looked about me, I found myself in a kaleidoscope of mirrors. When I looked up I felt myself rising, higher and higher until at last I reached the place I had envisioned before. It was real. And deep within I had always known that. Looking down I saw the kaleidoscope they populated. I noticed it turn dark and violent with them tearing at one another. And, as I looked on, I realized that it was reflected in an infinite series each with their own permutations which lay ahead, which I could determine.
And here I was, afloat and light, almost as though made of light itself, with that universal choice of where I chose to descend to.
