WATCH: Moon Palace – ‘Hunt and Gather’

Seattle five piece Moon Palace have shared a video for their latest single ‘Hunt and Gather’, and it’s a cinematic, sweeping set of visuals that’ll make you crave the peace and beauty of the woods of the Olympic Peninsula.

Originally premiered on City Arts Magazine, guitarist and vocalist Cat Biell explains more about the new visuals: “The video reflects the process of creating peace with the wounded and unintegrated parts of ourselves. By integrating the ego, the wounded child, the wild one in all of us, and taking in the fire of ourselves; we are able to come into our wholeness.”

Moon Palace’s sound is inspired by “vast landscapes, invisible forces” and how they relate to each other, which is reflected beautifully in their new video for ‘Hunt and Gather’. Watch the footage below and follow the band on Facebook for more updates.

Get In Her Ears Live @ The Finsbury w/ LIINES, 09.02.18

Following a host of super amazing bands playing for us over the last year – including Witch Fever, The Magnettes, H.Grimace, REWS, Trash Kit and Deux Furieuses – we were back at The Finsbury on Friday night for another jam-packed night of the best new music.

Kicking off the night are Sheffield/Leeds creators of wonderfully wonky noise-pop, Duck. Treating us to a whirring array of synth-filled sonic delights, they deliver an utterly unique and fantastically quirky set.

Next up are Get In Her Ears faves Suggested Friends. Despite missing a bassist, they succeed in delivering their immensely infectious, thoroughly engaging ‘tweemo’ punk-pop to perfection. As the crowd unites in a buoyant joy, the band grace us with racing, catchy hooks and luscious harmonies as Faith Taylor’s witty charm and exquisite vocals flow with ease.

Penultimate band of the night, Bugeye, blow us all away with their powerful disco-punk force. Propelled by impeccable cowbell-filled beats, their politically charged offerings are filled with a frenzied energy as front-woman Angela Martin’s seething vocals soar.

Manchester trio LIINES headline the night with an immense, impassioned energy. With shades of the likes of Sleater Kinney or Savages, pummelling beats and throbbing bass lines rage as the raw, commanding vocals of Zoe McVeigh blast into the crowded venue with a dark, brooding power.

HUGE thanks to the four fantastic bands who made Friday night so awesome, and to everyone who made it down to support us for our third birthday celebrations! And make sure you don’t miss our International Women’s Day special on 9th March when Ghum will be headlining, along with some very special SECRET guests!

WATCH: Pillow Queens – ‘Favourite’ (acoustic)

Irish indie band Pillow Queens have shared an acoustic version of their recent single ‘Favourite’, proving their gentler musical arrangements can still pack an emotional punch. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming EP State of The State, which is set for release via Specialist Subject on 16th March.

Pillow Queens’ charm and energy still flows through this softer rendition of ‘Favourite’ and it permeates the sound on their upcoming EP too. The band worked with Producer Peter Ashmore to finalise their musical explorations of “emotional highs and lows”, including the “frustration of trying to succeed in post-recession Ireland” and the toll that can take on your mental health.

Pillow Queens will be touring Ireland and the UK in April, so make sure you learn all of the words to ‘Favourite’ before you head along to one of their shows.

IRELAND & UK TOUR:
April 5th – Galway, Roisin Dubh
April 7th – Cork, AMP
April 9th – Bristol, Hy Brasil
April 10th – London, Sebright Arms
April 11th – Guildford, The Boileroom
April 12th – Brighton, Prince Albert
April 13th – Leeds, Chunk
April 14th – Manchester, Night & Day
April 15th – Glasgow, GLAD Cafe
April 19th – Clonakilty, Debarras
April 20th – Limerick, Dolans
April 21st – Dublin, Workmans Club

Track Of The Day: BRYDE – ‘To Be Brave’

It’s been a busy year for London-based, Welsh-born musician Bryde. After setting up her own label Seahorse Music to publish records by like-minded women and help make them more visible in a male-dominated industry, Bryde finished up her debut LP Like An Island, while flitting between London and LA. Exploring themes of independence, liberation, and relationships, her candid indie rock sound were fully fleshed out with mixing help from Catherine Marks (Wolf Alice, PJ Harvey, St Vincent) and mastering by Mandy Parnell.

Lyrically, Bryde concentrates on life and human interaction, her songwriting persona wears her heart on her sleeve and new single ‘To Be Brave’ showcases this open attitude. Speaking about the track, the songwriter explains: “’To Be Brave’ was written as kind of a soft squeeze of the hand to many friends who have, like me, been through many a dark period and put on a brave face and just got on with it. It’s a comment about how we all live out certain episodes of our lives in such a public setting these days that I feel we almost edit them to appear flawless, nothing but smiles.”

We’re big supporters of Bryde’s bravery and can’t wait to hear her EP Like An Island when it comes out on 13th April. Listen to ‘To Be Brave’ below, and pre-order your copy of her EP here.
