Liverpool’s indie powerhouses Circa Waves are back with their spectacular new album Death & Love Pt.1 – out January 31st, 2025 via Lower Third/PIAS. First track, the supreme ‘We Made It’ is available today – listen here.

Circa Waves will return to the road in February & March next year, embarking on their biggest UK headline tour yet, playing to their ever expanding fanbase. Across 12 dates, they’ll play to thousands of fans across the UK, including a night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on March 26th & a what will be a truly special final night hometown show at Liverpool’s Olympia March 1st. Tickets available here.

Both terrifying and liberating to write, Death & Love Pt.1 is an urgent, 9-track hit of cathartic guitar-pop, serving as a powerful coping mechanism to help process frontman Kieran Shudall’s near-death experience.

Back in early 2023, Kieran received a call from doctors to say that the main artery in his heart was severely blocked. Two days later, he was lying on an operating table watching a wire being inserted into his heart to fix it. What followed was the cancelling of a lot of shows, working out a lot of medication, and most crucially, now having to navigate a new way of life.

“I needed this record to process what I went through. A letter to tell myself I would stick around,” Kieran explains. “Most of all, I wanted to make a record for me, with music I love and hopefully music to make kids in their bedroom pick up a guitar and believe they can take on the fucking world.”

And the results are quite simply stunning. Self-produced by Kieran, and engineered by Matt Wiggins (Adele, Lana Del Rey, Glass Animals), the nine tracks that make up Death & Love Pt.1 ooze nostalgia, and hark back to the sounds and themes that made Shudall want to pick up a guitar in the very first place.

Tracks like the exploding album opener ‘American Dream’ lay the record’s hopeful foundations, with ‘Le Bateau’ – named after a Liverpool club – recalls euphoric, youthful nights out, and the laid back ‘Hold It Steady’ & ‘Blue Damselfly’ showcasing the album’s more emotional themes. ‘We Made It’ oozes with Shudall’s hope and optimism, and ‘Let’s Leave Together’ is a future hit-in-waiting, joining ‘Like You Did You Before’ in two stand out tracks that have infectious hooks, huge choruses running through their hearts and are set to blow the roof off venues on next year’s tour.

Circa Waves was formed in Liverpool in May 2013 by Kieran Shudall. After writing a batch of songs and putting some demos online, he recruited second guitarist Joe Falconer, bassist Sam Rourke, and drummer Sian Plummer (replaced by Colin Jones in 2015).

The band first gained a buzz and earned favourable comparisons to the Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and the Vaccines before they hit the Top Ten with their debut, 2015’s Young Chasers on Virgin/EMI. Buoyed by singles like ‘T-Shirt Weather’ and ‘Stuck in My Teeth’, the album reached the Top Ten of the U.K. albums chart and paved the way for a series of well-attended live shows, including a sold-out date at London’s O2 .

Without shying away from their influences, the band matured, and albums like 2017’s Different Creatures, 2019’s What’s It Like Over There? showcase their knack for crafting their own distinctively infectious, post-punk anthems. In 2020, they reached number four on the U.K. albums chart with Sad Happy and returned in 2023 with Never Going Under.

Death & Love Pt.1 is the first instalment of a snapshot in time – a reflection on a moment of true terror, and the joy of coming through the other side. It’s a brave and remarkable next step for a band in the finest form of their career.

“‘It’s Nothing’ is one hell of a something, made by a band that truly are the real deal. Dolores Forever? Yes please.” 

– 4* Dork Magazine

“Dolores Forever may have titled their album It’s Nothing, but make no mistake – this is something special.” – 9/10 The Line Of Best Fit

Dolores Forever have perfected the art of careful ambiguity, a skilled combination of subtle humour and throwaway lines with serious musicianship, which results in relatable and always innovative music.” – 8/10 Clash Magazine

One of the UK’s finest rising acts, Dolores Forever, have released their sublime debut album It’s Nothing. Alongside the release the band have also dropped the tongue-in-cheek video for their new single ‘Not Now Kids’.

The album opener, ‘Not Now Kids’ pokes fun at patronising politicians thinking they know better. “This was the last song we wrote for the album,” the band said of the single. “It’s a bit of a scathing look at the world and the people who are running it with impunity, the feeling of being told to shut up while watching your house burn. What can we say, we love an apocalyptic bop.”

“Working across the visuals allowed me to play with the narrative of female friendship – which is not only a theme that runs through my personal work – but is prevalent throughout their lyricism and attitudes,” director Francesa Allen mentions on the video. “Our small all-female team, Katya Bourvis (choreography) and Carmen Pellon Brussosa (cinematography), helped bring the story to life.” Watch the video HERE.

After a huge summer of festivals across the UK and Europe, Dolores Forever are taking their captivating live show on a run of headline dates across the UK this November. Kicking off in Bristol on November 4th, the run will see Dolores Forever play five dates across the UK, including a date at London’s Village Underground on November 5th. Tickets available HERE.

Mon 4th UK, Bristol, Dareshack

Tue 5th UK, London, Village Underground

Wed 6th UK, Manchester, The Deaf Institute (Music Hall)

Sat 9th UK, Glasgow, The Garage (Attic Bar)

Sun 10th UK, Leeds, Hyde Park Book Club

To celebrate the release of ‘It’s Nothing’, Dolores Forever will also play a special in-store performance and signing at London’s Rough Trade East on October 1st, entry with purchase via Dice only. 

At the heart of Dolores Forever there’s an infectiously playful, unapologetic feminist energy, and now, the London-based band are ready to release their debut album. It’s a “punchy indie-pop record about feminism, friendship and navigating a messed up world. It blows our minds that the music industry is obsessed with hearing from people who are just 21. As we’ve gotten into our thirties, we have so many more stories, and so much more to say.”

Julia, from Copenhagen, co-wrote the winning 2013 Eurovision entry for Denmark, Only Teardrops, while Hannah, from London, has written with Kylie and Stormzy. 

Dolores Forever are building unstoppable momentum.

The Amazons are back! After a huge Top 5 record with 2022’s How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me?, the band return with their dark new single ‘Living A Lie’.

Produced by Pete Hutchings (Royal Blood, Gang Of Youths, Foals), tackling past frustrations and future anxieties, ‘Living A Lie’ signals the emergence of The Amazons’ brand new sound – still loaded with riffs and roaring with aggression, but packed with a whole new level of energy and grandiose, seeing frontman Matt Thomson delivering smart words with a newfound eloquence of phrase. This is The Amazons as you’ve never heard them before – with a soundscape fit for arenas. Listen to ‘Living A Lie’ here.

It marks the start of a new era which will see a host of exciting new activity over the coming months, into 2025.

Matt explains; “Living A Lie is an ode to staring at the ceiling in the early hours of the morning – when little fictions turn into hard truths in the stillness of the night. We were working on a very different sound before Living A Lie. This song articulated a tone and a feeling that spoke to our lives in a way we hadn’t been able to access previously. An anxiety about the future and a frustration with the past.”

‘Living A Lie’ starts a new chapter for the Reading 3-piece. With three huge Top 10 records and sold out shows across the globe under their belts, The Amazons are fired up and ready to go.

“Surf-rock riffs, oddball humor, and warped Americana storytelling define the Austin band”  — Pitchfork

“Through great wordplay, delicious vocalizations and a gonzo theatricality, Being Dead are one of the coolest and freakiest acts around.” — Paste

“One of the most chaotic trios in Texas.”  — The Line Of Best Fit

Being Dead — the Austin, TX-based project of multi-instrumentalists and best friends Falcon Bitch and Shmoofy — release their sublime new album EELS on Bayonet. Alongside the release the band also share the video for ‘Big Bovine.’ Watch the video HERE.

Originally written as a straight-ahead swing/country jam, the track slowly evolved into a droning, punkier final form — a testament to the way Falcon and Shmoofy’s collaboration works, pulling each other into different creative spaces. “If you love or hate Criss Angel, you might love this video,” the band says. “We worked with Kai Winikka again [director of the music video for When Horses Will Run single ‘The Great American Picnic’] so of course, this one is pretty insane. We wanted to go big with some bloody explosions and safe to say, we got the job done.”  

Being Dead’s records are mosaics, technicolor incantations, each song its own self-contained little universe. Something about their music suggests it’s a dispatch from both the future and the past – vocal harmonies that sound like they’re reverberating in a medieval church to surfy guitar lines, weirdo-punky cacophonies erupting into chaos. For EELS, they decamped to Los Angeles for two weeks to record with GRAMMY-winning producer John Congleton. EELS is a darker record, tapped more into the devilishness within, but it’s also a more raucous, rougher ride sonically. There’s heartbreak, excitement, enchantment, dancing. It’s a fitting encapsulation of Being Dead, exuding a welcoming, playful energy even if something foreboding lurks just beyond the pale.

Ahead of the release of his special remastered version of Back To Bedlam next month, James Blunt has released a very special, unheard demo of fan favourite ‘Wisemen’. The anniversary album is released on October 11th, twenty years to the day of its initial release.

“‘Wisemen’ was one of the first songs I ever wrote, aged 17 in my dorm at boarding school,” James said of the track. “I didn’t record the demo till eleven years later… And this is it.” Listen to ‘Wisemen (Demo)’ HERE.

Included in this special 20th anniversary release comes a special version of the original album remastered for 2024 by Stuart Hawkes at Metropolis, in addition to previously unreleased demos of the core songs from the album, plus previously unreleased songs from the Bedlam era.

In true James Blunt fashion, he explains; “I’ve released seven studio albums, but Back To Bedlam was the one people actually bought. So on its twentieth anniversary, the record label and I thought we should repackage it with some early demos, and milk it for all it’s worth. It was one of the biggest selling albums of the Noughties, so here’s hoping it makes a dent in the 20’s.”

Back To Bedlam featured the double platinum selling global smash hit ‘You’re Beautiful’ and is one of the top ten best-selling albums of the Noughties, with over 11 million copies sold worldwide. He’s won two Brit Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards and has received five Grammy nominations. As James humbly approaches national treasure status in his native UK, he is widely regarded for his honesty, wit and charm, as showcased on record, on stage and with his ever-engaging social media banter.

James will also take to the road in February and March next year to embark on a special run of UK and European arena dates for the ‘Back To Bedlam 20th Anniversary Tour’, where he will perform the Back To Bedlam album in its entirety, along with other classic hits from his career.  The tour will also mark James’ return to London’s O2 Arena on February 16th.

Following his most recent single ‘Bada Bing, Bada Boom’ featuring the formidable Miles Kane (The Last Shadow Puppets), a sold-out summer tour, largest ever SOLD OUT shows outside the UK, collaborations with Italian legend Zucchero and Australian pop royalty Natalie Imbruglia, Jack Savoretti today announces that he will return to the UK in Winter 2025 for a solo unplugged tour at some of his favourite venues where he will perform fan favourites from across all his albums.

Jack is also set to perform ‘Bada Bing, Bada Boom’ with Miles on The Graham Norton Show this Friday on BBC One.

The dark yet playful record blends all the recognisable roughness and elegance of Jack’s voice with the grit and attitude of Miles’s guitar and vocal performance creating a fun and combustive record perfect to light the last of the summer nights. Listen to the single here

With his 8th album ‘Miss Italia’ Jack continues to forge a singular path. While few artists manage to make an 8th album, even less do so in a different language and to such critical acclaim. In the words of The Times, ‘Jack sounds like an Italian Joe Cocker.’

‘Miss Italia’ came at an important moment in Jack’s life, as his Italian father had recently passed away. Jack explains; “My father was the anchor that tied me to Italy, the connection to my roots that I felt I was at risk of losing without him. So I went back to school. I didn’t want to imitate Italian music, I wanted to make it my own, combining everything I had learned over almost 20 years of experience from working in America, England, and Italy, merging Anglo-Saxon singer-songwriting with Italian to create something unique. I first had to learn to write in Italian before making MY album in Italian.”

In Winter 2025, Jack will return home to the UK for a solo unplugged tour at some of his favourite venues where he will perform fan favourites from across all his albums:

Following the recent release of her stellar new studio album Slang Spirituals, out now on BMG, as well as a run of UK arena shows supporting Moby, Lady Blackbird today announces her own special UK headline shows in January and February 2025.

The four shows will see her performing in Bristol, Glasgow & Manchester, as well as a special night in the capital at the London Palladium on January 29th. Pre-sale tickets Tuesday 24th September @ 10.00am / General sale : Thursday 26th September @ 10.00am – tickets here.

Collaborating once again with Black Acid Soul producer Chris Seefried, the pair produce a second album that not only embodies the freewheeling, emotive Lady Blackbird sound, but that also taps into deeply vulnerable lyrics that recount the singer’s challenging ascent to musical stardom.

Featuring powerful offerings in ‘Reborn’, ‘Man On A Boat’ and the BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 and Jazz FM playlisted track ‘Let Not (Your Heart Be Troubled’, the new record is ‘A compelling showcase for a truly magnetic soul-jazz voice’ (Record Collector).

Performing tracks from the new record, these are shows that are not to be missed.

In a move as unprecedented as it is unexpected, St. Vincent will release Todos Nacen Gritando, a Spanish language version of her wildly acclaimed All Born Screaming album on November 15th via Total Pleasure Records in partnership with Virgin Music Group.

St. Vincent explains the inspiration behind Todos Nacen Gritando, as well as how the equilibrium between accuracy of translation and intensity of performance was achieved — with the invaluable aid of Alan Del Rio Ortiz:

“The origins of Todos Nacen Gritando can be traced back to some of the most memorable shows I’ve ever played, in Mexico, South America and recently Primavera Barcelona in 2023. Though separated by time and geography, and across a diverse range of settings and venues, these crowds were united in their passion—singing every word to every song in perfect English. It was truly inspiring. Eventually, I asked myself: If they can sing along in a second or third language, why can’t I meet them halfway? So I enlisted my best friend and occasional collaborator Alan Del Rio Ortiz to work on translating these lyrics, tweaking here and there for melodic reasons, making every effort to stay true to the song at hand without sacrificing accuracy. After much rewriting and re-singing every vocal track on the album, the result is Todos Nacen Gritando, equal parts labour of love and tribute to the people who inspired it.”

The album’s release is preceded by first single “Hombre Roto,” a Spanish language version of All Born Screaming standout and current live highlight “Broken Man.” As with all 10 songs on Todos Nacen Gritando, “Hombre Roto” finds Annie Clark aka St. Vincent belting en Español while sacrificing none of the “industrial menacing rock”(NME) of the original.

Todos Nacen Gritando features St. Vincent’s fiery new vocal tracks atop the foundation of the “restlessly inventive” (Guardian) original album, as recorded with the stellar roster of Rachel Eckroth, Josh Freese, Dave Grohl, Mark Guiliana, Cate Le Bon, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Stella Mogzawa and David Ralicke — and produced by St. Vincent and mixed by Cian Riordan.

St. Vincent is currently on tour in the U.S.  and will continue the “All Born Screaming” tour with an additional round of European dates in October. Tickets are available for purchase HERE. For the full itinerary, please see below and visit https://ilovestvincent.com/
