    The Hemingways – Never Alone

    The Hemingways - Never Alone

    Blending rock with touches of youthful indie earnestness, The Hemingways have just released their debut single 'Never Alone' The five piece, from Essex, is made up of James Burrage on lead vocals, Louis Takooree on guitar, Ben Butler on keys, Noah Henry on Bass, and Jack Ames on drums.  Although most of the band are still in their teens, some members have been playing together for nearly ten years. A five piece is quite big, but because of the tightness of the band, all the individual elements in the band work really well together to create their exciting sound.Propelled by the powerful lead vocals of Burrage with his slightly gritty vocal delivery'Never Alone' is raw and honest.

    Orange Soul – The Haze

    Orange Soul - The Haze

    After the charm of their self-titled debut EP, Brighton-based Orange Soul have just released a sublime new single 'The Haze'.
    Orange Soul is talented brothers Henry and John Tydeman, bringing to our ears a sumptuous fusion of folk and pop. These two young men know how to craft songs with intelligent lyrics and produce music with a mesmerizing quality.
    Full of shimmering melodies in a lush piano soundscape that slowly build and hypnotize, 'The Haze' is woven with the siblings’ magnetic vocal harmonies. Recalling the foggy haze of John’s experience going in and out of hospital, whilst undergoing a gruelling tonsillectomy, the lyrics deliver a subtle darkness with dulcet immediacy.

    Spain is full of hidden gems waiting to be discovered, and Northwest is one of them.The duo, Ignacio Simón, producer and Mariuca García-Lomas, vocals, now living in London have released 'Dimaryp' the first single from their forthcoming debut album. With influences ranging from triphop and dream pop to experimental electronica and contemporary classical music, Northwest have introduced a unique, beguiling slice of electronia to alternative music.

    Jet Black 3 – Jet Black 3 EP

    Jet Black 3 - Jet Black 3 EP

    Jet black 3 have just released an EP balancing powerhouse vocals with a layer of meaty, hyper-powered guitar riffs. With rock and roll pumped into their veins, there is a fired up intense energy about this trio from Exeter. The band, Robert Papworth on vocals, guitarist Phil Borrett and drummer Chris Ford, only formed last year, although Robert and Phil have worked together in the past. Unusually, for a heavy rock band there is no bass player, instead Phil uses a guitar through a normal guitar amp and a bass amp to produce a rock-sounding distorted bottom end as well as the classic guitar tone.

    Providing a great start to the three track EP is 'Why on Earth'......Read More

    DIDI – Sorry

    DIDI - Sorry

    Built round an edgy, rapid whirlpool of guitar riffs, and driven by pristine vocals that are delivered with plenty of bullish attitude, this is a confident debut release from DIDI. With her musical influences ranging from Royal Blood to Tegan and Sara, Sorry falls somewhere in the middle, addictive enough for pop fans, but with enough rawness to influence indie-rock listeners.

    Although this is the first release from DIDI, real name Lauren Deakin Davies, this is an ambitious young lady with an already deep understanding of the music business. She is Currently Working as a producer at Folkstock Records, and the youngest full member of the Music Producers Guild.

    Cuecliché – One Last Chance EP

    Cuecliché - One Last Chance EP

    Pop Punk in not a genre normally covered here at Alternative Tracks, but London based Cuecliché have just released a debut five track EP that has caught my attention. The band effortlessly blending the super catchy, radio friendly pop punk of now with the speed and aggression of those punk days.

    There is a definite cohesiveness to the band’s music, they have their own identifiable unique sound while effortlessly taking bits and pieces from the bands they love and throwing it all down into a hell of a good listen. Getting the balance right between aggression and melody is tricky, but Cuecliché have done it.
