By Kane Power (@ElHeavio) 24.6.15, The Roundhouse, London North London courts were overwhelmed last Thursday as thousands of people filed lawsuits against promoters All Tomorrow’s Parties, after being left partially deafened from a Mogwai concert. Local magistrates are in agreement that most of the cases have no basis, as anyone who still underestimated the Scottish post-rock giants after 20 years on the scene deserves to feel the full brunt of their noise. Mogwai graced The Roundhouse on Wednesday night to...

Canterbury stoner rockers OHHMS are back with two more monolithic slabs of depth-charge doom on their latest LP 'Cold'. The tracks, titled 'The Anchor' and 'Dawn of the Swarm', clock in at over thirty minutes, so expect a crushing, winding ride of slow builds and powerful riffs. OHHMS are also heading out on an extensive tour in support on 'Cold'. Dates can be found below. Keep posted to TLE for our review of 'Cold' to follow later this week. OHHMS Tour...

The heyday of British seaside towns is long passed. Memories of a Cornetto on the pebbles and a sunburnt nose down the lido have been replaced by peeling paint, shuttered shop-fronts and piss-smelling sand. Allow Sleaford Mods to distill the scene into three minutes of bittersweet seaside town antics in their new video for 'Tarantula Deadly Cargo.' If the title sounds familiar then you might just have a taste for 70's B-movies, the band taking the title from the classic arachno-flick of...

Alabama rockers \\GT// are getting rocked/psyched/fuzzed up as the release date for their debut album 'Beats Misplaced' approaches.

John J. Presley is back, and as expected he's brought the down-tuned, doom-laden electric blues with him. The new EP 'White Ink' is set to drop on 24th July, offering a fuzzy slice of modern blues, no doubt. It's going to be raw, recorded live over an 8-hour session to capture the authentic feel of a John J. Presley show, a mix of delta blues and Mogwai-inspired dissonance. Get a taste of what's to come below with 'Come Calling', the first...

'Lovers Know' is released on 7th August and is the future-retro  bastard child of Kate Bush and The Jesus Mary Chain. If you want to hear exactly what that sounds like check out new single 'Wildfire' below. The Mynabirds will also be swinging by for a London show at the Islington on 5th August, so get to the capital...

By Declan Roberts (@DeclanMR) When a new London band strikes the scene every journalist around tries to catch a grip on what sort of genre they play into. A band exists to be pigeonholed. For Wolf Alice however, no one can really put a finger on it. The first two EPs featured calm and catchy singalongs. At that point, they were regularly placed under the unimaginative banner of “indie”. But a debut album is an opportune moment to shift perceptions....
