Tiger - Contender
Bubbly soul-y pop that skips along on a breezy melody. Perfect for these late summery days. She’s a true winner in our books.
Georgie - California
Word on the Notts-goss grapevine is that the singer-songwriter has record labels throwing deals at her left, right and centre. We can see why with this Stevie Nicks-inspired polished gem. Lovely stuff.
Whisky Stain - The Lord’s Revolver
Is this track about what Jesus called his bacon bazooka? Probably not. But we’re pretty certain that he would have got down and dirty to the blues rock stomper.
Fleets - Waste of Time
Lend these young, fizzy upstarts your ears pronto, especially if raucous indie-rock is your thing.
Rubix - The Club
A little teaser from the Notts-now-relocated-to-LA-DJ-slash-producer’s forthcoming EP; a perfectly poised, house-inflected banger that’s ready to soundtrack all your late-night shenanigans.
Isaac Bloomfield - Lightnin’
We reckon he should change his name to Isaac Blooming-good on the strength of this country-indie, acoustic toe-tapper that makes us wonder if ‘post-Jake Bugg' is an actual thing now.
Riff Bastard - Graves
It’s hard to think of a more appropriately monikered band. This is guitars galore with more than a whiff of Soundgarden and Alice In Chains lingering, which makes us love it even more. We aren’t calling these guys bastards, by the way…
Ryan Farmer - Jessica
Our favourite bit of this black-and-white, stripped-back performance video is at 3:54 when it appears something has caught his eye and he looks like he’s about to crack up. Respect for staying pro, though.
LeftLion Stereo
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?
