To wrap up their UK tour, Birmingham alt-rock revivalists Peace recently undertook a four-day residency at Dalston’s Birthdays; day two of which featured London’s very own O. Children supporting. Having sold out all four dates very quickly, during the afternoon on the day of the gig – around a …
With Jaws‘ Milkshake EP – a collection of their singles and b-sides released to date – dropping later this month via Rattlepop, we asked the much-hyped Birmingham quartet to put together a playlist of the tracks that have inspired their musical lives.

In a recent interview at Dalston’s Birthdays, Jaws guitarist Alex Hudson explained to me how the group’s decision to release the Milkshake EP, a collection of the singles released by the much-hyped Birmingham four-piece across the course of the last year, was - far from any more financially covetous …
We caught up with our current BOTW, Birmingham four-piece Jaws, ahead of an intimate London show at Dalston’s Birthdays.

This year, Flatpack are screening such films as Harmony Korine‘s Spring Breakers (a film we’re very excited about), Andrzej Zulawski‘s …
It’s been hard to ignore the nascent promise of Birmingham’s Jaws in recent months. The garage-oriented, lo-fi four-piece were – alongside their hometown peers Peace and Swim Deep, both of whom they’ve toured with – pivotal to re-establishing Birmingham as a centre for shimmery guitar sounds and a particularly …
With their new single ‘The Sea‘ dropping on March 4 through RCA and Chess Club, we brought in Birmingham’s Swim Deep to put together a moodboard of what makes their fuzz-tinged indie rock tick. Here, they discuss their love for Harry Styles, Neil Armstrong and, well, love …
It doesn’t feel quite right introducing you to a band like Fiction on a freezing British morning; the London quintet’s tropicalia and afrobeat-inspired indie pop takes the mind on a musical tour of more equatorial environs. With a debut album The Big Other out via the ever-reliable Moshi Moshi on …
