On the 16th of January, UK indie heroes Los Campesinos! released the second single, “5 Flucloxaillin”, from their up-coming full length album, Sick Scenes.

Album Review: Happy Accidents – You Might be Right
Happy Accidents are a super catchy indie/pop band from London. They specialise in introspective lyrics combined with sing-along choruses and generally being a charming and infectiously cheery group of humans. You Might Be Right is their first album and has just been put out by Alcopop! Records. Following their initial release Not Yet Jaded (2014), […]
Album Review: The Hotelier – Goodness
The Hotelier are an indie rock band from Massachusetts.

Live Review: Birdskulls w/ Pipedream + Glen Foye (Brighton, 22.03.16)
I love it when a free gig rolls around. I feel bad, opting to turn up for the events I don’t have to give anything back for, but still, there’s that tantalising possibility that I could be anyone stumbling through the too many curtains (I got a bit tangled) between Green Door Store’s bar area […]

Then you are given somewhere decent […]
Album Review: Edgarville – Fingerprints & Handwriting
Fingerprints & Handwriting is an incredibly strong and engaging debut album from two-piece band Edgarville from Blackburn. It’s almost hard to believe the album is built up mostly by two musicians; we’re almost only hearing vocals, acoustic guitar and drums, yet the perfected production of the album gives a full band feel. The album can […]
Band Spotlight: Better Weather on regrouping, trumpet and American Football comparisons
After a year out Better Weather have returned to the UK DIY scene to grace us with their music. A blend of indie/emo consisting of poetic lyricism performed harshly without withdrawal and the welcoming tone of a trumpet, which sits warmly atop their intertwining melodic bass and guitar riffs. Seeing Your Scene caught up with the […]
