Our very own Electro-Rocking rockers, The Unkindness of Ravens, have received a glowing live review from Altercarnated Photography from their recent performance at The Purple Turtle:

They made their way through their set, which seemed tight and well rehearsed.A great band & well worth the travel, id recommend seeing them live! 7.5/10

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… The Unkindness of Ravens

Posted Wed, 17 Feb 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 likened them to “a bonfire blowing in the wind” whilst Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music picked-up their “huge” sound.

Despite their love of minimalism, their influences also range from stoner-rock legends Queens Of The Stone Age to dance-dirge masters The Prodigy thus proving they are a band always willing to broaden their own horizons beyond the electro genre, creating and harnessing something that is unique to them and them alone.

Their songs are inspired by dystopian soundscapes and images, longings, deep desires and wonder. Forthcoming single Dead Air is the first in a series of five singles that the pair are set to release every month from May (3rd) 2010. The band will also release a free track – “Lift” – to accompany Dead Air. The single melds the duo’s broodier leanings with Nina’s delicate, impassioned vocals to give Dead Air an almost Lynchian quality about it.

Dead Air is just the beginning for The Unkindness of Ravens. Their music will hypnotise and inspire you, creeping inside your very soul leaving you with a longing of your own… a longing for more.
