Artist Of The Week: FloodHounds

Artist Of The Week is FloodHounds!

They deliver tight, rabble-rousing live shows, bursting with startlingly jagged guitar, driving bass and wild rhythmic drums, and with side-swipes of distorted harmonica. Lyrically catchy, the indie rock trio’s powerful punk- and blues-infused tunes stay with you long after the gig.

Listen to their latest single ‘Panic Stations’ here:

This track is a blast of raucous alt-rock, welded together with stomping, fuzzed-up guitars, punk energy and riff-heavy grooves, featuring distorted vocals and a tightly held together back line. Feeling nostalgic yet fresh, it touches lyrically on the theme of remaining unified instead of giving in to panic, alienation and uncertainty, and is sure to get stuck in your head.
With a new line-up and new music, the band recently landed a string of excellent shows, from a rammed Tramlines Fringe set, to curating their own hometown headline show for the opening night of Sensoria Festival, playing Wentworth Festival, returning to Nottingham’s sold-out Bodega to support Kid Kapichi in November. Listen to their previous single ‘Something Primeval’ here:

Pre-lockdown highlights include: being playlisted on BT TV, receiving songwriting awards from Richard Hawley, playing major festivals like Isle Of Wight & Liverpool Sound City, gigs all over the country, and sharing the stage with the likes of The Blinders, Calva Louise, King Nun, Childcare, BlackWaters, and Strange Bones.

Gemma Vango Wide

Artist Of The Week: Gemma Vango

Artist Of The Week is the incredible Gemma Vango! The Essex singer/songwriter is a new independent artist. She has spent the last few years thinking about her creative approach and the type of music she wants to produce. Having studied Vocal Performance & Music Business at BIMM London, Gemma learned her craft from some of the industry’s best working musicians like Iain Mackenzie and Lisa Laudat.

Gemma’s debut single ‘Be You’, released back in October 2021, is an absolute banger and will really put a smile on your face.
Listen to ‘Be You’ here:

Influenced by the sounds of Lucy Spraggan, Gabrielle Aplin & SOAK, ‘Home’ is a folk-infused pop track all about the concept of home being people, rather than a specific place. ‘Home’ is a relatable story of getting back to where we belong.
Listen to ‘Home’ here:

After the success of her debut single which pulled in over a thousand monthly listeners, over  three thousand streams on Spotify and several local radio plays, Gemma is hoping for much of the same and even more still with the release of ‘Home’. Having finally found her voice, Gemma is excited to release the second chapter in a book of releases across 2022. We’re excited to hear what Gemma has to share with the world!

Our Artist Of The Week is Slowdaze!

Slowdaze is the alternative/electronica alias of British producer Alex Fish. Born from a love of crate digging, the music has hallmarks from many genres, sounding familiar yet fresh. Since beginning in 2019, Slowdaze has expanded into a musical collective, focused on collaboration and experimenting with different genres.

Listen to their latest single ‘Flick of the Light’ here:
Slowdaze speeds things up both in tempo and volume in their latest single. Filled with atmospheric synths, staccato guitars, prominent percussion, vocal layers and other sonic nuances, this track will take you on a flight overlooking time-lapsed cityscapes.’Flick of the Light’ is reminiscent of indie alt rock band Mutemath, but with a calmer and more understated vocal performance. If you’re a fan of Jungle, Michael Kiwanuka, Radiohead and Leisure, you’re in for a treat. ‘Flick of the Light’ is only the second single from an EP coming out on 8th July. We can’t wait to hear the rest of this project.

Zardee Wide

Artist Of The Week: Zardee

Our Artist Of The Week is… *drumroll* Zardee!

Zardee (also known as Bigz the Host) has been the hype man and host for UK artists and influencers such as Jack Fowler and Kaz Kamwi from Love Island, Wretch 32, Krept & Konan and Big Tobz. He is an up-and-coming music artist from East London to look out for. Drawing on his Caribbean background, Zardee fuses dancehall with melodic upbeat UK hip hop, and also shows diversity with his R&B melodies and catchy choruses giving him a unique and modern style.

Listen to his latest single ‘Elements’ in collaboration with Flamin Beatz:

The track is full of airy and moody elements, and an Afrocentric beat that borrows parts from R&B and Afro house. Zardee presents snappy and memorable melody lines that will get stuck in your head as he expresses high admiration for a lady that he likes. There’s an aura of effortlessness over Zardee’s performance that gives the track a relaxing yet feel-good vibe at the same time.

Check out the music video for ‘Elements’ here:

When Zardee first started making music, T-Pain was one of his influencers as he felt he was different, but when it came to flows and choruses, Zardee’s inspiration came from Tory Lanez and Bryson Tiller.

With his infectious and energetic air on stage he is definitely the life of the party. He has toured with Big Tobz and hosted events for world-famous stars such as Tory Lanez and Hardy Caprio. Zardee considers himself more of an ‘entertainer’, as he showcases his talents as both a host and a musician.
