Woke Against The Tide is the second album from Los Angeles / Orange County punk trio Girl Tears, out now via Sinderlyn / Remote Control. Woke Against The Tide is the follow up to Tension. With it they have mastered the art of the three-chord attack, delivering volatile blasts to the point of fury. Four tours and 100+ shows later, playing art spaces, houses, DiY venues, bars, barns, backyards, basements,...
Big Smoke have released their highly anticipated debut album Time Is Golden. The album, which was completed after singer and songwriter Adrian Slattery passed away, is an astounding and virtuosic document of a songwriter and a band at the height of their respective powers. Time Is Golden is cinematic, breathtakingly powerful and heartbreakingly intimate – a triumph in the face of unimaginable adversity. Above everything else, the album is a testament to the band’s determination...
Dorsal Fins have released their new album Digital Zodiac, the songs on Digital Zodiac feel born of the kind of musical collaboration that can only be described as joyous: at turns frenetic, laconic, overblown and understated. Digital Zodiac is a decidedly more laid-back affair than its predecessor, 2015’s Mind Renovation. When asked how he manages to keep cohesion on a record so full of musical ideas, Liam McGorry warns, “It’s not...
Melbourne’s Oh Pep! have today premiered their new video for ‘Wanting’. The single comes from the band’s incredible debut album Stadium Cake out now through Barely Dressed Records / Remote Control. ‘Wanting’ (much like the rest of the album) is an indie pop masterpiece with the DNA of a folk song. It is accompanied by a video encapsulating their current ’on the road’ lifestyle. In Pepita’s words “We’ve spent the...
Merchandise have presented a new video for ‘Crystal Cage’, the fourth in a series of visuals created by frontman Carson Cox for their latest album A Corpse Wired For Sound. Filmed last summer in Palermo, Italy, Cox explains, “In this video we find an ambiguous man-spirit wandering a strange psychic realm caught between reality and an impossible dream place or paradise. The mirror, which has made an appearance in a lot...
Lost Animal has shared the video for ‘Too Late To Die Young’ via CLRVYNT. The current single is taken from the new album You Yang released last week. ‘Too Late To Die Young’ was director Ryan Kenny’s debut music video. He explains – “Portraying Jarrod as a character rather than the singer or artist was important to me. Using the sound to tell a story rather than take the attention away from it. The title speaks for itself and...
Body/Head, the duo of Kim Gordon and guitarist Bill Nace, release No Waves on Friday 11th November. Recorded on 24th March 2014 during Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN at the Bijou Theater, this high-quality live recording captures Gordon and Nace at peak chemistry, clearing pathways of possibility using great waves of amplification and voice, during the tour supporting 2013’s critically lauded Coming Apart. Instead of presenting “tracks” or “songs” from the...
Lost Animal has released his highly anticipated record You Yang via Dot Dash / Captured Tracks in North America and Dot Dash / Remote Control Records for the rest of the world. Hot. Like real hot. I’m talking about sittin’ in only your undershirt and putting your head to the sky and hootin’ but nothing comes out just dry wispy profanities type hot. Victoria. Australia. They got small pots of...
Ahead of the release to their second album Woke Against The Tide out Friday 28 October, Girl Tears have shared ‘Panick Attack‘ taken from it. Listen below! The single premiered via FLOOD who describe their sound as, “semi-twanged swagger of X, but matched by the concentrated brevity of early Black Flag,” a sure reflection of what to expect from the upcoming record. With Woke Against The Tide the Los Angeles/Orange County punk trio have mastered the art of the...
Jarrow has just released a new video for his track ‘James Impala’ taken from his debut album 2003 Dream. Spoiler alert – it’s awesome! The film-clip was created in spare time between university assignments by Dan Oke (aka Jarrow). It is as a hybrid between a lyric video, a personal mission statement and homage to the classic Windows screen-savers of yesteryear. The video starts with footage of a chimpanzee (named Enos) being launched...

Harsh Riddims 2013 – 2016, a compilation that can almost be coined a “Best Of”. That we are releasing a best-of compilation of another label’s work is not the only item of note with this forthcoming album. This will mark the first time all of these tracks will be available on vinyl – previously they could only be found on cassette or download. Furthermore, Harsh Riddims 2013 – 2016 will feature unreleased tracks from Cringe Machine as...
Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker have released their new album Overnight, out now via Rough Trade / Remote Control. Of the record, Clarke explains her exploration of the evocative but elusive nature of memory. “I’ve always been fascinated that within a moment you can be transported backwards in time by a sight, sound or smell. It is fleeting and bittersweet that you never know when these glimpses of the...
Sleaford Mods have released their new EP TCR today via Rough Trade Records / Remote Control Records. Sleaford Mods are Jason Williamson (words) and Andrew Fearn (music) who signed to Rough Trade earlier this year. The duo have spent the last year playing shows and festivals and prepping new material, some of which is on this EP.
Powell’s debut album Sport is out today via XL Recordings / Remote Control. It’s 14 tracks of difficult to categorise music, that draws on the spirit of punk. 1. Because it samples punk; using its sonics in a modern way. 2. Because it embraces the spirit and attitude of railing against everything else – big festival circuits, dry social media profiles and ‘music that people will like’. However, Sport is...
The Lemon Twigs, brothers Brian (19) and Michael (17) D’Addario from Long Island, have released their debut album Do Hollywood via 4AD / Remote Control, and shared a new video for single ‘As Long As We’re Together.’ Do Hollywood was recorded in Los Angeles, California with production by Jonathan Rado of Foxygen.
