WATCH: MOLLYANNA – ‘Thief’

Following their last single ‘Louder’, Sheffield rockers MOLLYANNA are now ready to blast into our ears once more with their new video for ‘Thief’.

Starting out with delicate, twinkling melodies, ‘Thief’ soon builds to an impassioned blast of punk-pop. Propelled by rip-roaring riffs that race alongside the emotion-strewn power of Bernadette Dales’ vocals, it’s a refreshingly honest and ferociously energy-fuelled offering.

Get In Her Ears Live @ The Finsbury w/ Dream Nails, 13.04.18

Following a host of super amazing bands playing for us recently – including LIINES, Witch Fever, The Magnettes, H.Grimace, Temples Of Youth and Ghum  – we were back at The Finsbury on Friday night for another jam-packed night of the best new music.

Kicking off the night is Gold Baby. Treating us to their twinkling slices of utterly infectious indie-pop, lush vocals and jangly hooks flow as the sunny charisma of front-woman Siân Alex charms each and every one of us.

Next up, the raw, soulful punk pop of Madame So blows us all away. As her gritty vocals ooze a refreshing honesty, scuzzy melodies leave us completely engrossed in her unique, catchy offerings.

Penultimate band of the night The Franklys blast into our eyes and ears with the ferocious intensity of their raging garage rock. Complete with some witty between-song banter, they deliver a truly unforgettable, energy-fuelled set.

Headlining are Get In Her Ears’ favourite Feminist Punk Witches, Dream Nails. Dressed in matching sparkling white, they fill the packed-out venue with their seething, punk-filled power and empowering force. With their impassioned plea for ‘All Girls To The Front’, they treat us to their inspired, raucous offerings, raging against domestic violence, misogyny and bullies with all the effervescent, buoyant energy you could ever desire. As a wonderful aura of female unity and motivation sweeps throughout the crowd, we’re reminded once again why we need Dream Nails in our lives. It’s truly an honour to have these strong-spirited, inspirational women return to headline for us after they opened our first ever night at The Finsbury back in October 2016.

Huge thanks to the four AMAZING bands who played for us and for all who came along to make it such a wonderful night. Next month, we have not one but two gigs! We’ll be at The Finsbury on 11th May with Suzie Stapleton, and on 23rd May we’ll have our first gig at The Windmill with Heavy Heart!

WATCH: HOST – ‘Goodbye’

After spending the past year writing, recording and producing music alone, Irish artist HOST has shared her debut single ‘Goodbye’. It’s a song about “putting your heart and soul into a shit relationship that inevitably falls apart,” which is something most of us unfortunate souls have endured.

It’s not all doom and gloom though, HOST’s electronic pop hooks make ‘Goodbye’ a charming, up-tempo listen. The accompanying video is a mash of glitter, wine and raw emotion which you can re-enact in your bedroom any time you need to shrug off the feelings of inadequacy left by a lover who doesn’t deserve you.

Watch the video for ‘Goodbye’ below.

Track Of The Day: Hilary Woods – ‘Inhaler’

A pensive, delicate track about her struggles with homesickness, Dublin-based musician & performance artist Hilary Woods has shared her new single ‘Inhaler’. The track is taken from her upcoming debut solo album Colt, which is set for release via Sacred Bones Records on 8th June.

“‘Inhaler’ is a response to a relenting absence that was constantly present,” Woods explains about her new single. “It’s a song about homesickness, longing; an attempt to find new ways of being in the wake of separation.” She explores these emotions through electronic and classical sounds, with her tentative, mysterious vocals floating calmly above these elements.

Woods directed the accompanying music video for ‘Inhaler’ herself, working alongside cinematographer and long-time collaborator Joshua Wright and dancer/choreographer Justine Cooper. With her multi-talented approach to creating art and extensive musical experience (including playing as a member of JJ72), Hilary Woods should definitely be on your musical radar.

Watch the video for ‘Inhaler’ below and follow Hilary on Facebook for more updates.
