Freak - Video Of The Week

Brian's favourite video this week is Everyone's The Same by Freak.

They had a hectic 2017 including a co-headline tour with King Nun, played the 10th Anniversary gig for BBC Introducing in Essex and a sold out show with The Great Escape. 

Freak are very much at the top of our 'Ones To Watch' for 2018 and you can get a chance to do just that as they'll be playing Brighton's The Great Escape Festival in May.

The Darlingtons - Rotations

Now it's no secret that Ralph's a fan of Sheffield band The Darlingtons so it's with no small amount of glee that I heard they've just released their second single as an autonomous unit and it's another gem. 'Rotations' bursts into guitar driven loveliness as they bring us more of their well conceived, lyrically strong, Indie music.

The Darlingtons describe the track as - “a high energy, punchy, dynamic song full of fuzzy guitars and captivating vocals”








The Darlingtons have gigged relentlessly around the UK supporting the likes of Catfish and the Bottlemen and King Charles, this summer the band will be making their debut appearances at both The Great Escape and Dot to Dot festivals as well as returning to Tramlines Festival...don't miss a chance to catch them live!

The Darlingtons have also been long-listed on Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent competition for 2014. For me, they're a headline band in waiting, and with strong material like 'Rotations' and of course Ralph's personal favourite 'Bats' in their armoury it wont be long before they're mounting an assault on the main stages of the major festivals.
