Preview // Live At Leeds 2013
I’ve had the pleasure of attending Live at Leeds many times and I have never been disappointed by the lists of acts that have graced its stages and from 2013′s line up it will be yet another triumphant year! 2012 saw acts such as Alt-J, Lucy Rose, Lianne La haves, Toy, Bastille, Pale Seas...
Introducing // Death At Sea
Death At Sea are the latest band to sign to Jen Long’s / Transgressive’s baby label Kissability. They’re from Liverpool and released their single ‘Drag’ last month which has set them up to become hotly tipped for big things in 2013. The band craft dark, melancholic, yet up beat indie pop; a nice change...
Review // PEACE @ Soup Kitchen, Manchester
Setting the pre-Halloween themed week with draping, angsty green hues reflected throughout the venues basement, tonight’s support of Carousels droan-pop should present itself as angrily edgy and oh-so mysterious, no? Fusing through a handful of tracks (and sounding a whole less grunge-meets-twee than on their previously-heard demo recordings), despite being delivered with well-executed cymbal boasts...
Review // Peace – Delicious EP
The sprawling metropolis of Birmingham may not go hand in hand with the sound of sun-kissed 90s America, but in a year that it has, among other things, televised a show about modelling dogs, it’s really not such a seemingly confusing juxtapose of ideas. Enter Peace, leading the charge in Birmingham’s plans to...
News // Peace release free download
Brummy indie band Peace have released their new song (which I was totally blown away by when I saw it live at Latitude last month) ‘California Daze’ as a free download. It’s a slow, melancholic, sixties inspired love song which despite being rather cliché is so completely gorgeous that it’s very hard not to...
Leah’s Playlists // May
Happy May beautiful readers! (Wow, I really need a new opener, my bad, I can’t help it if I fancy roughly 75% of you…) Since we last met, I’ve been lucky enough to catch a marvellous amount of bands live, had THE BEST RSD EVER, finished uni (although I cried after my law exam, awkwaaard)...

Interview // Swim Deep
It’s Valentine’s Day and I am a little tipsy in The Macbeth. I am sat on a table upstairs with three boys (living the dream) who go by the collective name Swim Deep whilst a drunk hipster murders Pulp’s ‘Disco 2000′ on the karaoke downstairs. How was the gig? Austin: Brilliant. We’re quite happy about it....
