The Imbeciles – You are Gonna Wanna

Catch them on tour with Killing Joke this 7 days.
Reef – Best Of Me
‘The Somerset Stones’, 90s chart stars, rock’n’roll fanboys… In their individual approaches, all three of these labels come screaming and dancing out of this highlight from Shoot Me Your Ace (Reef’s new album out in April).

Xander & The Peace Pirates – We Cry
Hot on the heels of (latest TOTW entry) Go away The Gentle On, Keith Xander and close friends are back again – and, we reckon, sounding even improved. We Cry is a lush, wonderfully moody swirl of bluesy soul, with a cascade of Fleetwood Mac fairydust. 70s sounds utilized to modern day sentiments. “We Cry expresses the battle of all of our human family members getting to be divided as a result of this persistent illusion of separation,” the band make clear. “This music is about how, when humans grow to be divided in on their own, they consider enemies that are not there.”
The Bloody Nerve – Episode 6 – Doin’ All Day
This Nashville troupe’s new solitary commences out very low and gradual – all metal acoustic and mournful electric lines – but it’s not extended ahead of they’re rocking out. Element outlaw’s lament, aspect rock/soul/blues boot-stomper, it applies outdated southern gothic vibes to existing working day strife. “Doin’ All Day is jail slang for a existence sentence,” explains guitarist and singer Stacey Blood. “So we are utilizing these optics to describe how we find ourselves a lot more and additional cuffed to new cultural pressures that do not appear the natural way to the human spirit.

As a reward, it also capabilities an outstanding, instead elastic guitar solo from Darkness gentleman Justin Hawkins.
