Track Of The Day: The Kut – ‘Hollywood Rock N Roll’

Following success for their debut album Valley Of Thorns, and having wowed audiences at the likes of Camden Rocks, Rebellion and Amplified festivals, rockers The Kut return with a riotous video for new single ‘Hollywood Rock N Roll’.

Propelled by a thrashing, angst-driven energy, ‘Hollywood Rock N Roll’ relents the state of Hollywood and the world in general. With the raw, gritty vocals of front-woman Princess Maha, alongside racing riffs and pounding beats, it builds to an anthemic blast of raging rock that’ll grab your attention in an instant with its seething power.

Watch the band tear up Hollywood in the new video here:

LISTEN: She Drew The Gun – ‘Resister’

A measured but rallying cry to persevere in the face of adversity: ‘Resister’ is the new single from She Drew The Gun. The track is taken from their upcoming album Revolution Of Mind, due to be released on October 5th via Skeleton Key Records.

‘Resister’ hosts buzzing guitar riffs, persistent percussion and lyrics fused with empowering messages. “Empowerment; resisting; arming yourself with knowledge; questioning the status quo, questioning your own state of mind and how its affected by the systems we live in” are themes that permeate the new record, as guitarist & songwriter Louisa Roach explains.

Produced by James Skelly (The Coral) at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios, Revolution Of Mind is set to be another powerful collection of songs from this affluent and informed songwriter. She Drew The Gun will return to the live scene following the release of their album, supporting The Coral on all dates of their UK tour. Listen to ‘Resister’ below and follow She Drew The Gun on Facebook for more updates.

Track Of The Day: Sit Down – ‘Mothership’

Inspired by their love of sci-fi & Route 66: Brighton-based duo Sit Down have shared a video for their single ‘Mothership’. Filmed entirely on VHS by the band during an American road-trip, the visuals show the pair frequenting highways and diners as their thunderous single plays on in the background.

The video has been released alongside the the exciting announcement that they will play Reading and Leeds Festivals this year for BBC Introducing. Taken from their recent debut EP Cheap Luxe, ‘Mothership’ is a blur of aliens and autonomy, as drumming front woman Katie Oldham explains: “There’s an undeniably feminist message behind it, like there is with the majority of our songs. It’s mostly about growing into womanhood, but also just loving the idea of this huge all-powerful alien queen invading earth to save us from horrible men.”

The band are keen to keep things DIY too, as Guitarist Greg Burns adds: “The decision to film ‘Mothership’ on VHS was not just purely for the aesthetic, it also embodies exactly what we stand for with Cheap Luxe, the namesake of our EP. To us, Cheap Luxe is embracing the crude, ramshackle reality of life in a world so obsessed with projecting perfection. It’s about this real, gritty rawness that’s so much more fun than taking yourself seriously. Doing everything DIY is important to us, and there was something so magic about working so hard to go on this once in a lifetime adventure and film this thing, which we could only then afford to do on an old camcorder we got for a few quid at a car boot sale. It’s perfect.”

We think Sit Down are perfect too! Watch the video below and follow the band on Facebook for more updates.

Sit Down have also released a photo diary zine, featuring 35mm film snapshots behind the scenes of the ‘Mothership’ video, which are available on their bandcamp page.

Track Of The Day: Ghum – ‘I’m The Storm’

After wowing us on numerous occasions with their immersive live performance (most recently at Indietracks Festival), and following last single ‘TV’, GIHE faves Ghum are back with brand new video for bewitching new single ‘I’m The Storm’.

Building the tension with throbbing bass-lines and whirring Cure-reminiscent hooks as the magnetising charisma of Laura Guerrero Lora’s vocals soar, ‘I’m The Storm’ oozes a swirling captivating haze. With their immersive gothic energy, the band’s sparkling haunting sounds float into the ears with a majestic grace, sending shivers down the spine. Once again, Ghum’s sweeping dark-pop proves they’re a band who deserve to be heard.

Of the track, guitarist Jojo Khor explains:

“‘I’m The Storm’ speaks about the difficulties of being in a relationship and not being able to give what your partner wants. It talks about the silent internal suffering you experience before breaking up with someone, the calm before the storm.”

Watch the eerily quirky video for ‘I’m The Storm’ here:
