UK production duo Pariis Opera House return with their new single 'I Wish', out October 11th via Kapzlok.

Featuring lyrics pulled from public social media searches for the phrase "I wish...", the track showcases the band's trademark blend of big beats and pyrotechnic guitar lines underpinning a devastatingly relevant lyrical examination of modern anxieties.

I Wish

Loka - Herculaneum Rock (Full Version)

(written by PUREST produced by Gethin Pearson) Officially released on the 31st of March via Gold Tooth records.

I can't sleep, but i need rest 
Forget the things i should of said
Don't ask the truth, if we can't forget
Ignore the things i should of said... 

I'm not sick, but i'm not well 
Let's waste our time we might as well

A heart shaped hole, a broken chest 
Let me down so that i can catch my breath 

Did you come around just to ruin my night
Your not wrong, but i'm always right

It's what i said, but i don't agree
When you tell me something i thinks naive 
I'm out of touch to know what's real
To stubborn to love, to weak to feel

Your not wrong but i'm always right.

Lyrics 
Humour’s bouncing round our brains, please don’t stop
The internet has filled us up, like an outsized gut
Keep our ears close to the ground, for when good is around
Everybody can get down until the beat comes back around

Come over to my place
We’ll put some records on
We’ll just dance under the sun

We won’t give up
We won’t back down
We have faith in human good

Go outside and turn the laptop off a while
Be with older people now
Tell the haters where to stick their nasty minds
It don’t cost nothing to be kind

When you’re laying it down
You can lick the dirt or wear the crown
Take the bull by the horns and live your life

We might play up
But we’re not mashed up
We believe in human good 

We won’t give up
We won’t back down
We have faith in human good

We might play up
But we’re not mashed up
We believe in human good 

People break up
And people make up
There’s always hope with human good

Lyrics

My dearheart I’ve wronged you
Showed your face disdain and turned away
Forgive me, I’ve fallen back in love with thee
The fickle make mistakes
In a world so strange

The good takes on the badness
The joy takes on the pain
The light takes on the darkness
And sends it back again
Sends it back again

Gentle days 
To soothe a troubled soul
Essex skies, contagious
Calming nights
Upon a Roman town
Hallowed ground beneath us

Oh London you shaped me
You gave me the gift of youth then locked away
Echoes down the track to Rectory Road
Across the Downs for love and the eternal code
Of good and family

People doth protest too much
It makes our future itch
People love to bitch too much
We are human, we have frailties
We are striving to be free


Gentle days 
To soothe a troubled soul
Essex skies, contagious
Calming nights
Upon a Roman town
Solid ground beneath us

Can’t give you up, I’ve fallen in love 
I plan to stay
I can’t give you up, I’ve fallen in love
I plan to stay
Stay, for those gentle days
Oh those gentle days

Lyrics
I feel pain, I feel loss
They tell me progress comes at a cost
We wait for good, we wait for true
We wait for kindness oh to lead us through

And I’ll hurt for you, I’ll hurt for you
I’ll hurt for you, I hurt for you

Been quite a year, we’ve spilt some tears
We’ve had our backs against the wall but we’re still here
If not for hope than why do we live
But to taste a life and forgive 

And I’ll hurt for you, I’ll hurt for you
I’ll hurt for you, I’ll hurt for you

A troubled world, a daily tear
Of how a foolish man uses fear
But I’ve got faith, it’s understood
That I believe in you and human good

And I’ll hurt with you, I’ll hurt with you
I’ll hurt with you, I’ll hurt with you

Can't Take It Anymore

Following the release of album ‘Vices’ back in May and a supporting 20 date UK and European tour, with airplay across Kerrang!, BBC Introducing, Planet Rock and too many regional and online stations to mention, purveyors of the finest in scuzzed-up rock'n'roll – KATALINA KICKS – with a new bass player - release their brand new single ‘We Don’t Care’ on 13th October 2017 with a supporting 8 date mini UK tour.

We Don't Care

‘Limb by Limb’ by Pembrokeshire-based duo Name’s is the follow up single to ‘Backs Turned’, a song that has already been included in BBC Introducing Wales list of songs of 2017. It was also described by ‘From the Margins’ as a “wintry soundscape with all the fluency, space and atmosphere of Mogwai’s Les Revenants soundtrack”. 
Where do you go after creating such an assured artistic statement with your debut single? ‘Limb by Limb’ is the answer. Names have shed any creative ego to create a raw, emotionally rich song devoid of self-indulgence and over reaching dramatization. Yet again Ioan and Joey have found beauty within the smouldering ashes left in the wake of life’s broken relationships. As Ioan explains, ‘Limb by Limb’ is “largely inspired by the ignorance of issues within a relationship which slowly bring about its demise. Also the effect of a background anxiety on life and ability to socialise.” 

‘Limb by Limb’ musically and lyrically perfectly depict the contrasting moments of clarity and internal isolation one feels holding on to a dying relationship. The sense of calm in the release, yet claustrophobic panic of the unknown. As with Talk Talk’s majestic ‘Spirit of Eden’, Names are quickly becoming masters of the intimate, unseen but deeply felt moments we share. Their music explodes on to a cinematic canvas full of flowing chords and echoey melodies.

The back story

For the last 16 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances, and having been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show, Johnno has continued to release vibrant music with plenty of bounce to the ounce.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and local council relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-USound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s stadium, and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills, whilst getting M.E and becoming a well respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene.

Johnno also runs the award winning community group The Warm and Toasty Club, running special live events for the last 9 years www.facebook.com/thewarmandtoastyclub
