Brimming with insistently catchy hooks and sing-along choruses The Lodger bring a classic pop sensibility to their sometimes tender, sometimes bitter take on the ups and downs of life and love. People have pointed to The Lodger’s place in a musical tradition including The Smiths, The Housemartins and Belle & Sebastian, and The Lodger share a similar emphasis on the skills of classic song writing and a uniquely British take on classic guitar pop.

THE ROSIE TAYLOR PROJECT
“This City Draws Maps” is the debut album by The Rosie Taylor Project, out now on Bad Sneakers Records. Lyricist Jonny Davies evokes a timelessly poetic view of the world and their sound evokes the gentle qualities of Camera Obscura, Iron & Wine and Nick Drake, but it’s their delicate simplicity and self understanding which stands out. Visit our store here to but the album, and watch the video from recent single ‘A Good Café On George Street’ below.





THE OLD ROMANTIC KILLER BAND
‘You Don’t Know How To Love’ is the debut single, out on 10th March, from Leeds two piece The Old Romantic Killer Band, a ferocious new act who are equal parts Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Son House and Ryan Adams. With the A and the B side clocking in at just under 3 minutes for each song, the band don’t mess about. Vocalist and guitarist Harry Johns (23) met drummer Bunse (19) whilst Harry was playing Bass in Leeds Hardcore DIY trio Joseph. They instantly bonded at a party over their mutual interest of tattoos, Black Flag and short aggressive live shows (which they have since perfected). The single will be released on 7” vinyl, digital download and CD.
