Dream Wife – FUU Video

Dream Wife - F.U.U. ft. Fever Dream

Dream Wife have shared their latest video for album closer and firm live favourite ’F.U.U.’ that sees them reunited with their long time visual collaborator Aidan Zamiri and features guest Icelandic rapper Fever Dream spitting bars.

“F.U.U.” is a ferocious livewire anthem at Dream Wife’s gigs, and it felt natural to team up for the video with the all female, and decidedly punk rock, EVE Wrestling. Featured in the likes of Buzzfeed, The Guardian, Time Out, The New York Times and more, EVE have literally blown up in the wake of Netflix’s recent GLOW series, even expanding beyond their monthly wrestling shows to start their own wrestling school, the EVE Academy. Wrestlers Charlie Morgan, Livvii Grace, Bea Priestley, Erin Angel, Jamie Hayter and newly crowned XWA British Heavyweight Champion Rhia O’Reilly all feature in the video.

The band say: For our new video for F.U.U consider: ROCK AND ROLL AS AN EXTREME SPORT. A place where everyone gets a 10, there are no winners, no losers, just high adrenaline, high octane good times. 

F.U.U is a partly tongue in cheek, partly deadly serious exploration of gleeful aggression and where better to WORK OUT this aggression than in the wrestling ring?

We would like to thank all of the Bad Bitches, Aidan & the Dream Team and the gang at EVE WRESTLING from the bottom of our hearts, as they taught us; everyone is a wrestler, maybe they just don’t realise it yet.”

Sunflower Bean – Twentytwo

Sunflower Bean (Julia Cumming, Jacob Faber, Nick Kivlen) will release their second album in a few weeks, and today they share an incredible, pageant-themed music video for their latest single “Twentytwo,” a song with a powerful and enduring message about resilience and pushing back against expectations.

Director Olivia Bee explains: “I loved metaphorically speaking about the reality of being a woman, but letting that reality exist whilst tapping into the magical blues of Twentytwo in Blue. This song showcases our strengths and individual beauties when we remove the masks that have been given to us by our society, and I wanted the video to reflect that.”

Sunflower Bean will release Twentytwo in Blue on March 23rd -- Pre-order HERE.  Watch the video via Urban Outfitters below.

Middle Kids – New Signing and Album Announce

We are thrilled, and very excited, to announce that we have signed Australian trio Middle Kids and will release their eagerly-awaited debut album, Lost Friends, on May 4, 2018.  In addition the band have announced a London show at The Moth Club on April 2, tickets here.

On Lost FriendsHannah JoyHarry Day and Tim Fitz bring back their knack for haunting hooks, lyrical poignancy and irresistible indie rock appeal that critics praised in their self-titled first EP, released in February 2017. This radiant collection of new songs conjures melodic nostalgia for some of songwriting’s very best, rich in heartfelt build and beautiful simplicity. Take “Mistake” as evidence – the first single from the album, released today and available to stream / buy via all digital retailers. Listen to “Mistake” HERE

Middle Kids - Mistake (Official Video)

Middle Kids made a powerful debut last year with the release of their internationally acclaimed self-titled EP, featuring singles “Edge of Town” and “Your Love”. The band dazzled at several SXSW and The Great Escape showcases, made their U.S. television debut on Conan and supported legendary acts like Ryan Adams and The War On Drugs.

The new album, Lost Friends, is the kind of album that sucker-punches you in the gut, revealing its nuances only after repeated listens. The songs’ edges are jagged, the production clean, stray imperfections imbue warmth and a human touch. Middle Kids craft classic hooks and riffs that tangle up in your brain like licorice and choruses that linger long after the song has faded. And they’ve bonded over a greater sense of what their music should accomplish.

“In a time where a lot of division is growing, we want to be part of the conversation that unites people around certain ideals that are universal, like hope and love,” says Hannah Joy. “That’s so much a thread throughout this album: Even though things are tough, it’s worth believing in something good and in the idea that we can heal. And in some ways, I wanted the music to be beautiful and a respite from what’s going on.”

Hinds – I Don’t Run + New For You

Hinds - New For You

Hinds – Carlotta Cosials, Ana Perrote, Ade Martin and Amber Grimbergen – have announced their long-awaited second record I Don’t Run. Out April 6 the new album shows a bigger, better, faster, funnier, more dexterous Hinds. Co-produced by the band and Gordon Raphael [The Strokes], and mixed by Shawn Everett [Alabama Shakes, The War On Drugs], I Don’t Run is the product of a band fighting for their place, a band unwilling to rely upon their successes, a band who have just begun to prove themselves, and a band who plays hard but works even harder. Pre-order I Don’t Run HERE.

Hinds also announce tour dates today – this April they will bring I Don’t Run and their insanely fun live show across Europe. You can find a show near you and get your tickets HERE.

To celebrate the announce, Hinds also share I Don’t Run’s first single, “New For You”, with a music video that sees the band dominate the fútbol field.

Of their self-directed music video Cosials says: “I thought it cannot be more Spanish (football) and that it cannot be more a male sport, and that it is good to present a different gender-reality without even trying hard. I think sports are such a good metaphor with life, with goals, passion and suffer.”
