We welcome the beautiful art from London’s most exciting new 4 piece band today. Prom’s new single is premiering at Noisey who say:

“Influenced by the likes of Birthday Party, it’s kinda like surf-pop – if the mucus of surf-pop was spat into a blender filled with guts, little remorse. One of the most powerful, instant vocals we’ve heard from a British band so far this year.”

AA side 7″ single coming on 23rd October. Pre-order from here.

Live shows:

October
6th 100 Club, London (w/ Girl Band)

November
3rd Patterns, Brighton (w/ Girl Band)
4th Soup Kitchen, Manchester (w/ Girl Band)
5th Nation of Shopkeepers, Leeds (w/ Girl Band)

Warm Brains, aka Rory Attwell, ex-Test Icicles, Kasms, RAT:ATT:AGG and producer, engineer extraordinaire (credits include Palma Violets, Yuck, Male Bonding, The Vaccines, Mazes, Let’s Wrestle and countless others) is set to return with his first full album since the release of ‘Old Volcanoes’ back in 2011.

The new album ‘Big Wow’ is going to be released on November 6th through Milk Milk Lemonade Records. ‘Pink Blackpool Rock’ is the first song to be released from the album and is, according to Rory, “about encouraging people to have ideas that could seem ridiculous‎ and/or acting in a way that could seem bizarre, even if the by-product is that most people would regard you as a buffoon or an asshole for thinking and behaving in that way, why let that stop you?”

Brighton’s Demob Happy are NME‘s New Artist Of The Week with a lead Radar feature and track premiere of the epic ‘Junk DNA’.

Just fresh from their first appearance at Reading & Leeds Festivals, the band are set to release their debut album Dream Soda on October 2nd via SO Recordings, and will embark upon a UK headline tour through December.

Pre-order the album here.

Bringing with them transmorphic ability, acts like Alvvays‘s contagious brand of indie pop managed to transform R&L’s Festival Republic stage into a “cider-fuelled version of Strictly Come Dancing”. DIY also went on to describe Alvvays’s “sugary melodies” as making their set “a joyous, effortless moment from a band right at the top of their game”.

Similarly, Stereoboard play upon metamorphism, hailing both Radkey and Demob Happy as conceiving a “rock ‘n’ roll sound as if they were conceived in a garage owned by Satan”. It appears Demob lived up to the promise they made to Upset to “tear it up, rock the fuck out and show people what we’re made of”.

If Radkey and Demob Happy’s sets didn’t sound menacing enough, NME warn “you shouldn’t fuck with God Damn”. With bloodied hands and faces and destructive stage antics to match their sound, God Damn successfully captured the festival goers attention.
