May Releases



The Unkindness of Ravens





Dead Air out May 3rd 2010


The Unkindness of Ravens are Nina Wagner (vox) and Ben Raine (bass & vox). The pair entwine garage rock riffs with raw dance beats to create dark, electronically inspired guitar tunes. Nina and Ben make music with an incredibly punk / DIY ethos, creating everything themselves from their label - Sonic Fire Records - to the music itself.

In no time at all, the pair have gained a good reputation for themselves being compared to bands such as The Kills, The YYYs and The White Stripes. Artrocker Magazine likened them to "a bonfire blowing in the wind" whilst Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music picked-up their "huge" sound.

Listen to a stream of forthcoming single Dead Air HERE.

Fresh Legs





Julian EP out May 3rd 2010


BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank's favourites and Bestival sensations Fresh Legs follow-up on an amazing summer of action-packed gigging, writing and recording with their debut release for Sotones Records.

Fresh Legs’ Julian EP is fun, unabashed indie goodness. You can literally feel Ella’s passion and energy come across with each little explosive track. Step aside music lovers – Fresh Legs have arrived!

Listen to a stream of "Julian" from the EP HERE.

Ex Libras





Underachiever single out May 10th 2010


Underachiever is the second single to be released from Ex Libras' incredible, critically acclaimed debut album Suite(s). The single is out May 10th 2010 on the band's own Wirebird label and it follows a natural progression from their debut single Radar. Underachiever is the sound of a band mature beyond their years, certainly destined for a bigger audience.

Listen to a stream of Underachiever HERE.

Haunted Stereo





On A Pin / Lock The Doors single out May 17th 2010


Haunted Stereo are an alt-folk/ indie/ experimental six-piece line-up from Southampton.

Creating intricate layers of sound with an array of melodic instruments - including banjo, mandolin, accordion, piano, violin, electric guitar and percussion -, Haunted Stereo are very much about the thrills and fun that is to be had from writing and playing music together.

Now, with a body of great records behind them, Haunted Stereo are ready to release double A-side On A Pin / Lock the Doors. The single truly captures the beauty and intricate sound that Haunted Stereo have honed so well and, more importantly, reflect a band that are ready to make their mark on the UK music scene.

Listen to a stream of "Lock The Doors" HERE.

Introducing… Fresh Legs

Posted Thu, 04 Mar 2010


Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank’s favourites and Bestival sensations Fresh Legs follow-up on an amazing summer of action-packed gigging, writing and recording with their debut release for Sotones Records.

Southampton gig and club-goers have known that Fresh Legs were something special since early 2008, when the energetic four-piece, fronted by live-wire Ella blew audiences away supporting fellow indie-pop gems Thomas Tantrum. Championed by TT, a support slot for Fight Like Apes followed.

Others began to take notice, and their recording debut – Chess was released in early 2009 on Yada Yada. The record attracted national attention in the form of airplay on BBC 6Music and Radio 1. Rob da Bank took the band to his heart, and repeat plays and a personal the aforementioned Bestival invitation followed.

Leaping at the opportunity to work with up-and-coming bookers The Mixed Tape Agency (Die!Die!Die!; Situationists), the band soon found themselves plunged into a hectic series of summer gigs including a prime slot on the main stage at Southsea Fest.

Fresh Legs’ Julian EP (released on May 3rd 2010) is fun, unabashed indie goodness. You can literally feel Ella’s passion and energy come across with each little explosive track. Step aside music lovers – Fresh Legs have arrived!
