The only tunes you wanna listen to over this the festive period...
Mannequin - Bones
Grungy metallers make an appropriately moody video featuring a man doing something that we’ve all wanted to do at some point: flinging himself naked around a forest.
The Lizzards - Houdini
If you thought all modern-day psych music was sunglasses, leather jackets and an expensive sniff sniff habit, then give these Notts/Brum lads some ear-time for a refreshingly punchy take on the genre.
Joseph Knight - Hold On To Me
You know Joseph Knight wants to be taken as a totally serious artist because in the music video to accompany this track, he does a lot of standing around on a cliff top looking wistfully in to the distance.
April Towers - Get Recovered
Latest video from the electro knob-twiddlers celebrating their recent tour around the UK with footage from their gig at the Koko in somewhere called London, where it looks like they went down a storm. Nice one, lads.
Amber Run - Stranger
Grandiose, epic indie rock that wouldn’t be out of place serenading the masses in a mobile-phone sponsored enormo-dome. A lovely little taster for their sophomore album, out in early 2017.
Komino - Tell Me
It’s like the nineties, noughties and tens never happened with this eighties shoulder-popper that you’d half expect to turn up on one of those Top Of The Pops re-runs on BBC Four.
Massappeals and Snowy - Do’s/Dont’s
Notts grime emcee and hyped producer both go in hard on this on this twitchy, nervy slice of glitchy hip hop. Let’s call it glitch-hop.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
