With their re-released debut album, Light Up Gold, hitting the UK this week, we caught up with Austin Brown of New York post-punk quartet Parquet Courts for a quickfire chat about life on the road, their recent visits to the UK and the best vegetarian restaurant to head to …
Sisterly duo, Bleached, first caught our attention last year but since then they’ve gone from strength to strength. Online New Music Editor Alex Cull caught up with them ahead of the release of their album ‘Ride Your Heart’ on 2nd April.

Ahead of their new EP Water dropping next week, we got Brighton garage rock duo Blood Red Shoes to compile a playlist of the tunes that sustained them – and got them riled up – while recording Water in Texas last year.
It’s an unsurprisingly stormy affair; one that veers …
Unbelievable reverb-soaked live videos in churches, garage pop from San Francisco, and the Bunker offering up ‘trashy, cymbal-heavy pop’, ‘psychedelic exploration of the synthesiser cosmos’ and ‘accessible, euphoric epics’. Phew.
I feel a poignant way to start this column would be with a reference to Embers’ recent live recording …

Practically the resident house band at Shoreditch boozer The Old Blue Last, Crushed Beaks have been blaring out mucky, shoegazey noise around London venues for a couple of years now.

London In Stereo are back with their top picks and gig listings for this week.
London In Stereo’s Gigs Of The Week
Jessie Ware // Two Inch Punch – Electric Brixton (Sold Out) - Tuesday 13th November
