Kill The Icon-Buddhist Monk

KILL, THE ICON! aim to explore the history of protest, activism and anti-fascism through a satirical lens. References to Tarantino and Fincher films serve to create a pop culture universe within which the song’s sardonic icons come to life, and ask questions of the listener.

Joe Tilston-Tightrope

Joe Tilston has a punk heart, but his music has a different heartbeat. It’s Folkish, it’s beautiful, and at times cutting and direct. Tightrope is full of songs of Death & Hope, and is unashamed to bare all. The music takes influence from a childhood brought up in smokey, beer swilled folk clubs, where his […]

Kiera Lyons

Kiera Lyons is an antidote to the endless stream of sameness we hear from singers today. She is the voice of her generation’s future, not its past. Digging deeper than the plastic party pop blanketing the airwaves and streamers, her lyrics grapple with our youth’s bitter burden: a world of decay, anxiety and depression, of […]

Robin and the Goblins

Spanish artist Robin and The Goblins – aka Robin Romo – has released their atmospheric new single Future Angel. Combining baroque-pop and synth-infused sensibilities, Future Angel is oozing with ambience from the offset, sounding akin to the likes of Cat Power and Patrick Wolf as a result. Tragic and playful, Romo blends medieval imagery with […]
