“The sickness was stronger than me, and left scars that have become part of my life. Accepting them has taken so much time, but they make me what I am today: a fighter.”

“”Still Nothing (Goddamn)” is about self-worth, about being frank with yourself and asking others to do the same. What do you wish for? What are you hiding? Inner power can only arise when we recognise, accept and express our wishes and facets. Only then we can be free.”

While this isn’t a conventionally ‘edgy’ sound, it is a refreshing and exciting talent who isn’t afraid to bring the past into the future with a subtle indie spin.
New Music: Loraine Club
Loraine Club’s third release, taken the forthcoming EP which is expected to arrive in late 2020. A fusion of indie and retro disco, this could be one of Ireland’s next big exports.
New Music: Tomi Agape
A London-born talent who’s leading the way with Nigeria’s Alté scene. This is a polished, slick and absolutely flawless track.

“Over the past year, I’ve become increasingly frustrated with the “cool girl” narrative; the idea that girls should hide their true feelings in fear of seeming clingy or dramatic. I wrote this song to express the joy, pain and confusion I felt while pushing down how I really felt about someone. All I wanted was to be cool, when, in reality, I felt anything but.”
New Music: Benjamin Lerner
A phenomenal talent with a powerful life story to match it. When you listen to the classical piano, matched with it’s lyrical delivery, you can feel an intensity that you don’t often enjoy from such a stripped-back sound.
“When I first went to rehab, I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to make music anymore, because I made music about doing drugs for so long, I didn’t know if I’d be able to do it without getting high. It took getting clean for me to realise that expression and creativity are the drugs I’ve been searching for all along. I’m still a junkie. I just get high off of music now.”

“For me, Flashback was always the song that had to come next. When I was writing it, it felt as though it was the first song I was truly writing from my heart. Essentially it’s about love, about that feeling you get for the first time, when you’re all in. You know there are going to be consequences and you know you’re going to get hurt – but you can’t do anything about it.”

A melody that’s so beautifully simple, that the only thing upsetting me is just how short this song is. This kid has talent and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

British indie rock that’s frankly, quite superb. A sound that effortlessly plays between being playful, dreamy and raw all at the same time.

Track of the week. Understated and mellow, subtle yet definitive teen indie pop from this 17-year old London talent. I’m just in love with this sound so much…

An excellent Australian talent with a sound that balances between bubblegum pop and lo-fi indie.
