Beach Fossils - Fall Right In

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

Drop the anchor make it stop
Edible digital clocks
Infinity figure eight 
Figure out what you're not
Junk-an’ a po, cut your loss
Come to cut your corners off
You're the rock and I'm the paper
You're the scissors, I'm the rock

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

Feel this storm go through my sail
Follow someone else’s trail
Camera A, Camera B
In your home, on your TV
Hook me up, look in my eyes
Dilate, do I surprise you?
Watch me blush, blink, sink
Trust in me so you don’t have to think

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

Can you even feel what’s real?
With such a shallow depth of field

Kill the engine, stop the car
Cut the lights and there you are
Stars so small 
You’re the king of them all
Stand tall, rack focus 
Now you crawl back broken
Now the stars so vast 
Heat, wind, storm, break my mast

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

Feel this storm go through my sail
Follow someone else’s trail
Can you even feel what’s real?
With such a shallow depth of field

Shot reverse shot

Drop the anchor, make it stop
Make the moment, kill the clock
Infinity figure eight 
Figure out what you're not
Junk an’ a po, cut your loss
Come to cut your corners off
You're the rock and I'm the paper
You're the scissors, I'm the rock

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

From Here To Now To You

Had Ten Dollaz by Cherry Glazerr

Hyena’s debut single Mental Home is teeming with visceral energy. It’s the ultimate high of 2014, a year that has seen the return of rock. 

Royal Blood producer Tom Dalgety produced the single, which combines brutal, heavy Queens of the Stone Age-esque riffs and the quirky rock melodies of Pulled Apart By Horses. Hyena are bringing a fresh new edge to the genre, much like their contemporaries Darlia and Drenge.

The single itself is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the fact that nowhere is normal and everywhere is strange. The band are asking us to question what 'normal' means. Frontman Jacob says, "the song is basically saying 'what are you going to tell me is good for me next and where else are you going to tell me to go?' - it’s all the same, everywhere."

Rising from the ashes of Weatherbird, all four members (Jacob Ball, Joshua Taylor, Dom Farley and Reuben Gwilliam) decided to reinvent themselves as Hyena. The band had been playing as Weatherbird since they were 13-years-old and it was time for a new direction. With Tom Dalgety on board as producer and the single being mastered by John Davis (Led Zeppelin, Wolf Alice), Hyena are definitely off to a good start.

Being from Telford, the boys have fought to create their own scene. With not much going on in their hometown, they’ve carved their own space, built their own ladder and they’re attempting to climb it all the way to the top.

Mental Home will be released via Red Venom Records on 17th November 2014.

New Arcades - Wherever You Are

Released - Monday November 24th 2014

London duo New Arcades have announced the release of upcoming single Wherever You Are, an electro-pop beauty which builds on the act’s previous successes to create a grandiose and ambitious sound. Wherever You Are marks the moment that New Arcades step forward and announce to the world that they have truly arrived. 
In creating Wherever You Are, New Arcades have taken inspiration from the 80s and the decade’s bastion of electro-pop beats, whilst still sounding wholly fresh and original. New Arcades are well known for their 80s inspirations, having sold previous EP Scenes on cassette earlier this year. Adam Sullivan, one half of New Arcades, describes the creation process of Wherever You Are: “We experimented with different vocal and synth sounds on Wherever You Are and wanted it to be our biggest sounding track yet. We really wanted the verses and choruses to have a contrast in dynamics yet still have a driving pace behind it.”
At its essence Wherever You Are is gloriously uplifting, with energetic beats placed alongside a vibrant and deep background. The nostalgic synths pluck and bash with an unnerving eye to create a composition that vocals and keys can glide and pirouette through. Although electronic at its core, romantic and ruminating lyrics add guile and a soul to Wherever You Are, ensuring that the listener truly feels and understands the human beings behind the sounds. 
New Arcades are set to perform at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen on 28th  November whilst their upcoming single Wherever You Are will be available on physical and digital formats from 24th November. A music video for Wherever You Are is due for release imminently.

Under Stars

Drug Church, monsters of alt-rock, have weathered a year of dope shows and fan adoration since the release of their seminal punk masterpiece Paul Walker. Now, the chickens have come home to roost. The band has dedicated itself fully to a true ‘sophomore slump’ EP full of indulgent missteps and overreaching stabs at pop crossover. All that being told, they’re “the sickest band ever” has yielded real results. 

On Swell, Drug Church push their idiosyncratic blend of punk and alt to new heights of sick. Recorded with J. Robbins (every band, ever) in a big, professional studio, Swell delivers the biggest Drug Church sound to date. It’s pretty much the life-changer you assumed it would be.

Silhouettes

Having been selected by Michael and Emily Eavis as the winners of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition last year, Italian duo @mplusaofficial (Michele and Alessandro) showed the legendary festival a good time and moved onto the rest of the world. With debut album These Days already doing the rounds, the twosome are back with a lively new EP. Inspired by the endless summers of the Adriatic coast, their electronic sound merges disco with something a little more tropical and includes features from Spank Rock and DENA. Taken from their forthcoming album, Anyway Milkyway, we are pleased to present the incredibly catchy premiere of Do The Shout, the summer tune that carries us away to the party island of our dreams. Hit play and try not to dance too hard.
