The first song on this 2 song ep starts with a sound clip from the UK Office. This is enough reason for me to love this. The music itself isn’t bad either. Totally the type of band I’ve been listening to a lot of recently. Noodly, passionate and a bit mathy.
RIYL: By Surprise, Algernon, Dads

It’s too late and I’m too tired to think who this actually sounds like but I do know it’s brilliant. Maybe a bit Into It Over It meets This Town Needs Guns.

I’m currently sifting through the bands from the first Stay Sweet announcement. I like Dowsing but I haven’t given them enough time in the past. This EP from last year is bloody brilliant. 90s emo walks hand in hand with a beautiful array of twinkles and jangles.
RIYL: The Get Up Kids, Mineral, The World Is A Beautiful Place…

This is as exciting as the moment I heard Fireworks or Hit The Lights for the first time. An unabashed urgency clashes with youthful exhuberance creating a sound that is unbelievably catchy. I am moshing so hard.
RIYL: Fireworks, Hit The Lights, Crosstown Rivalry

On first listen this isn’t as good as either the Seahaven or Balance and Composure albums but the first song did totally smash me in the face. This album will get a lot of repeat listens this year. If you’re in to the aforementioned bands you’ll probably enjoy this
RIYL: Balance and composure, Seahaven, Tigers Jaw

This is the ex guitarist of The Story So Far. I’m not too sure why he left but he’s created some lush acoustic ditties. Parker who sings in TSSF also provides some vocals here so there’s obviously no ill feeling or anything.
RIYL: Heartfelt acoustic outpourings

This video contains a two faced kitten. This special cat doesn’t show it’s love to you and then flip you off to its cat friends. It actually just has two faces. Mental.
