Always Judge A Record By Its Cover

Good tune here from The Cordial  with Black Hole, like some old school indie with a modern sheen. Black Hole by The Cordial

Freshly released is this top tune called Good Side by Russia's Crimson Brooks . It certainly is very much on the good side! Good Side by Crimson Brooks

Delighted to see the return of Dadanaut , the new album  Introspektion is out now. Head over to Bandcamp to download a copy. Terrific artwork, as always! Introspektion by Dadanaut

Something lively and full of vibrancy for you to watch and hear, this is the Louisiana-based quintet, Seratones with Gotta Get To Know Ya. It is taken from the new album, Power, which is released on August 23rd through New West Records.

Fancy some angular indie rock n roll? Check out the new So It Goes EP by States Of Nature  - we're rather partial to Infinity , it gets wonderfully noisy at the end. So It Goes by States Of Nature

This is quite a long track called 'Down/HEIGHTS' by Cohenovich , but the video is very absorbing and works really well with the delightfully spangly music.

Here's a classy track called Parasitoid by Alex Travers , we love how the sound gradually builds. Give it a listen. Chrysalis by Alex Travers

Here's another great instrumental track by Dan Rochester , this one has the title Ablaze .

Something slightly experimental for your ears, this is  Heléna with  Holes in Her Eyes . Sounds good so far, hoping to hear more tracks in the future.

We are rather partial to  Dadanaut , so we're glad to share this video for a new track called 'Essenz'. Even better news is that there's a new album in the pipeline, it is called 'Introspektion'.

Here's a top tune from New Wolves called 'Same Two Songs', love the artwork, too! Have a listen. Same 2 Songs by New Wolves

We rather like this video for 'Spirit Yawn' by  Prophecy Playground  - it works really well with the music. A simple but clever treatment.

It is hot here in Blighty at the moment, all very un-British, so it is rather pleasant to be listening to the new, fresh and calming Citrus Afternoon  EP by  Luna Harley .

From our friends at Elefant Records , here's Lisasinson's video for Barakaldo. Apart from the great power-pop tune, we like their dancing.

Raucous track with a fun video, here's Summer Of Blood with Rotten Fruit. You can also find it on Bandcamp etc.

We love a slab of industrial noise and here's a track called 'Getit' by Necroromantic - top stuff! There's an amusing coincidence about the wallpaper in the image, but that explanation will have to wait for the moment. LINKS:  |   Spotify   |

We rather like Digital Resistance 's track 'Out of Sight (OOS)' - here's the video. Their tagline is: "A new band, a new movement, born to resist, live to fight against fascism." So, that gets a big tick. LINKS:  |   Website  |   YouTube  |   Instagram  |   Soundcloud  |   Spotify  |

Jenny - I am Jenny McLaren, notably of the Cuban Boys and Spray, vocalist on DJ Daz's 'The Woah Song' and friend of Crabb E. Crab from CBBC.
