Winlaton (win-lay-ton) is the third single released by the Ilfords since their 2022 rebirth.

Our David on Winlaton: 'Winlaton was written during deep lockdown. Nothing was open and late night running was the only space I had to myself. I suppose it reflects on what methods you can try to use when you feel lost. On one late night trek however, I realised I wasn’t just lost mentally at that time but geographically as I’d managed to run all the way to Winlaton.'

Produced, Engineered and Mixed by Ady Hall and Lee McCarthy of Sugar House Productions
Recorded at Catalyst Studios, St Helens

I Like It

'Nationalsville' is the first single taken from The Toads' debut album 'In The Wilderness' out June 9th!

Toads have no teeth so have to swallow their prey alive and in one gulp, they can’t hop or ribbit like frogs and they have been known to fall from the sky like rain when “weather gets weird!”

The Toads however are an extra-ace band from Melbourne who Upset The Rhythm are working with on their debut album ‘In The Wilderness’. Navigating the dross of modern life, whilst keeping one foot in a dream is the key to their nervy post-punk scuffle. Featuring members of The Shifters, The Living Eyes and Parsnip you’d be forgiven for guessing what The Toads sound like, but their mordant step and minor-key enchantment makes for an intriguing parry.

Today we’re releasing the group’s rapid first single ‘Nationalsville’, a rollicking toe-tapper of jaunty riffage, sprightly bass bounce and drums that get the blood pumping. Singer Miles' relentless observations spool through the song stitching together a glammy rush of monotony. Here’s the full video (filmed and edited by Leland Buckle): https://youtu.be/IxH56GWWLps

‘In the Wilderness’ will be released on June 9th through Upset The Rhythm, in partnership with our friends at Anti Fade Records. A limited edition sky-blue LP is available pre-order with glee here now: https://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/

The Chills

LISTEN / BUY: bit.ly/conversationst

As the holidays loom, many find themselves dreading all the predictably awkward interactions with bigoted uncles and old acquaintances. In their infectious new single, Swine Tax launch a tongue-in-cheek tirade against these stilted and soul crushing scenarios.

Chock-full of catchy melodies and memorable quirks, “Conversation” runs with this common experience of many introverts who find prolonged small-talk exhausting. Simultaneously tight and ramshackle, the music openly recalls the crooked indie rock of ‘90s America - all underpinned by bustling guitarwork, brash drums and cheeky wordplay.
