Royal Blood – How Did We Get So Dark? I honestly believed that Royal Blood were a one album wonder. Don’t get me wrong, Royal Blood are quite easily one of the best bands of the last decade, especially live and always have been. But I didn’t think they could build upon their solid self-titled…
Otherkin – React Irish indie-rock band Otherkin have just announced the release of their debut album ‘OK’ which is set for release on 29th September. ‘React‘ is the first we (personally) have heard from the band, but we were rather impressed by this alone. To start off with, ‘React’ is just like any other indie…
Welles – Life Like Mine Chronicling a move from Arkansas to Tennessee and the emotional turmoil involved with starting afresh somewhere unknown, Welles debut EP ‘Codeine’ is a honest collection of rock tracks. The first track taken from the EP ‘Life Like Mine‘ is a track which combines the sense of serious realisation with something…
Let’s Take Five: An interview with Glassmaps! A few years ago, back before Mix It All Up was a blog, we once saw Glassmaps live supporting Howling Bells at Wedgewood Rooms! So when the news of new music came about, we were rather excited by it. If the photo looks familiar, Glassmaps is the solo…
Cruel Summer – Eraser Taken from their first full length album, Cruel Summer‘s latest single ‘Eraser‘ is a whirl of blissful shoegaze/dream pop goodness. The San Francisco based “jangle darlings” latest fuzz-laden number has intricate moments before fading in and out throughout clouds of haze. The band have quickly made a name for themselves on…
Psymon Spine – Shocked Coming from various musical backgrounds, it’s fair to say that it’s clear to see where Psymon Spine‘s eclectic, shifting sound emerges from. The band have just released their debut album ‘You Are Coming To My Birthday‘, which is a collection of experimental, way-out tracks with influences dipping in and out of…
As one of the largest events of the UK festival calendar, Glastonbury probably doesn’t need that much of an explanation. Turning Worthy Farm into pretty much a pop-up village year in, year out, Glastonbury returns in next weekend for the last time before its fallow year in 2018. This year’s festival is set to be…
Let’s Take Five: An interview with Sam Airey! Having just released his long-awaited debut album ‘In Darkened Rooms‘ just a few weeks back, we decided to catch up with Sam Airey regarding the album, writing music and the future. Over the past few years up until this point, Sam has released various singles including the…
Frankie Rose – Trouble Set to release her fourth album ‘Cage Tropical’ in August this year, Frankie Rose has returned with the first single taken from the album ‘Trouble‘. ‘Trouble’ makes you feel like you’ve just stepped back into the 80’s. The track’s emphasis on razor sharp drumming and contrastingly airy, space-like vocals and out-of-this-world…
Braggarts – Different Light It’s a quick comeback for Braggarts having only released their debut album ‘Fight The Static’ just last year, but not ones to rest, the band are back with their latest single ‘Different Light‘. Taken from their forthcoming album ‘Exploring New Stars’, ‘Different Light’ shows the band, indeed, in a different light…
The Killers – The Man It’s rare that I’ll listen to a track ten times in a row on first listen. I’ll admit, I’ve not really paid too much attention to The Killers since their debut album. Probably wrongly to be fair, but they’ve just not appealed to me since. So when deciding to listen…
