Artist of the week is SupaLung

Our Artist Of The Week is SupaLung!

SupaLung is a new indie-rock outfit composed of singer-songwriter, Sam Brookes, and multi-instrumentalist producer, Pete Josef. The duo met some years back on the burgeoning Bristol music scene: being fans of each other’s work they ended up becoming great friends. Brookes was actually helping Josef build a studio at his home when they decided it was time to combine their love for songs and making records.

Listen to ‘Pleasure‘, here:

‘Pleasure’ is their debut single. The song is an ode to creativity – how it unlocks new worlds within you and enriches your life. It explores the tensions felt as an artist, having to find (and re-find) that spark each day, while managing expectations and the ever-growing pressures to pay rent and build a career.

In Sam’s own words: “My creativity has been vital. It saved my life, saved my head from turning on itself, helped me find new ways to understand myself, the world, and people around me.”

Artist of the week is The Underclass

Our Artist Of The Week is The Underclass

The Underclass are a 4-piece indie rock band from Stoke On Trent. They have created their own signature sound by taking inspiration from multiple genres such as rock, pop and electronica, with a hint of new wave, bringing it all together to create something new and unique. The Underclass are already ticking off some very impressive boxes, such as performing twice at 2022’s Y Not festival, selling out gigs across the country, gaining over 130,000 Spotify streams and almost 20,000 monthly listeners! There is no sign of stopping yet for these boys, they want the world…

Listen to their latest single, ‘Time and Fate‘ here:

‘Time and Fate‘ is probably the band’s most adventurous song to date. It flows like a journey: the start is laid-back, then it morphs into a huge anthem. They took a lot of inspiration from artists like Mac DeMarco, Tame Impala and The Beatles to give the track a psychedelic-indie sound. The song is about two people going through life, wanting to achieve their goal, with the belief that time and fate are on their side, no matter what gets in the way.

Artist Of The Week is Alex Hopkins!

Our Artist Of The Week is Alex Hopkins!

‘Canada Docks’ is the latest single from Worcestershire singer-songwriter Alex Hopkins. His fourth single to date is far more upbeat than his much-acclaimed previous single, ’Fairytale of Emotions’. Once again, it showcases the quality of his songwriting and the soulfulness of his voice. Deeply personal, it is further proof of his growing stature that he is seeing support from BBC Introducing and Radio 1.

Listen to Alex’s single ‘Canada Docks’ here:

Alex says of the song :

From Alex: “This song is about liking someone, but being scared to take the leap with them. However, they show you that a relationship can be a good thing. The song means so much to me because it is about fixing my perception on love and my own worth as a person and a performer. Even though I am no longer with that person, I thought it would still be appropriate to put the song out as a timestamp for myself, no matter how awkward it could be for me.”

Artist Of The Week is Tungz!

Our artist of the week is Tungz!

Tungz are a self-producing psych-pop quartet, with influences that stem from everything including 80s synth funk, Jai Paul, Bombay Bicycle Club, and beyond. They are quickly making a name for themselves as one of the most vibrant emerging acts of the year.

Listen to Tungz’s single ‘One Night’ from their new album ‘A Good Dream’, here:

‘One Night’ is filled with the band’s signature melodic percussion and guitar licks, complete with a nostalgic funk that carries the track as a whole. Centred around the idea of new beginnings and adventures, the single tells the tale of not wanting to get enough of a feeling, because that would mean the journey or dream is over. The opening chords of ‘One Night’ give the band a 70s stadium-opening kind of vibe. It’s a truly euphoric song.

Tungz’s album ‘A Good Dream’ was released on 17th February. Take a listen here.
