T H E  W O M B A T S


A good (but utterly useless) friend of mine told me that 'The Wombats are a Year 8 band' when declining the offer to come and see The Wombats tour this April...but after their recent release, Greek Tragedy, someone is definitely kicking themselves.
The Wombats are back and they're better than ever. 


Whilst still holding that typical synthy 'The Wombats' sound that does make you want to swig warm cider in a sunny field, they seem to have matured somewhat!

Their deep lyrics beautifully juxtapose with the upbeat nature that the band have captivatingly endorsed, evident in tracks such as; Techno Fan, Jump Into The Fog and Tokyo.


The Wombats are releasing their fourth album GLITTERBUG on APRIL FOURTH and their tour kicks off in Bristol this APRIL!

P E A C E


Much like fur coats and turtlenecks, you either love them or your kidding yourself...it's PEACE. 


The band, made up of the lovely Koisser brothers, Dom Boyce and Mr Douglas Castle, released their debut album 'In Love' in 2013 and to the delight of long haired, Doc-Marten-wearing indie lovers everywhere, their new album 'Happy People' is released on the 9th of February 2015!

It's worth taking note that Peace have really captured the essence of creating your own sound and running with it, mixing funky beats with synthy tones this band oozes summer and makes you feel utterly in love with tracks; such as, Lost on Me, Float Forever and Wraith. Not only this they're known for conveying political messages in many of their songs. You can easily find pro-peace (funnily enough), anti-capitalist and feminist tones in their music- which is completely refreshing and simultaneously stimulating. Who doesn't love that?

Whilst the band have received a lot of publicity recently and are the midst of a UK tour right now (which I somehow managed to get tickets for!!) the sheer number of people who do not know about these guys shocks me! So spread the word and give them a listen:
1. Lost on Me 
2. Fur 
3. Follow Baby 
4. California Daze 
5. World Pleasure 
6. Wraith 
7. Flirtin' USA 
8. 1998 




PEACE'S SECOND ALBUM 'HAPPY PEOPLE' IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!
