Another solid proponent of the much-hyped Birmingham scene, Swim Deep might look like Nirvana, but their sunny indie hooks and surfer boy tracks leave a far sweeter taste.
The baggy-jeaned quartet have released the video for new single, ‘She Changes the Weather’, a dreamlike visual rendition of the trials and …
We caught up with our current BOTW, Birmingham four-piece Jaws, ahead of an intimate London show at Dalston’s Birthdays. Against a backdrop of Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’ – appropriately enough, given the group’s Brummie heritage – the much-hyped quartet filled us in on their love of prawn cocktail …
Having only been gigging together for a year now, you could certainly be forgiven for thinking that Birmingham’s Jaws were jumping the gun a little by releasing a video composed of tour footage for their latest single, ‘Friend Like You‘. Then again, the last twelve months have been …
While their Brummie peers – and tourmates – Peace and Swim Deep have been making a big noise recently, Birmingham four-piece Jaws have been gathering their fair share of whispers as B-town’s best-kept secret. Oh, and they’ve also been making a rather big noise, too.

We speak to our BOTW about how they got together, new music, Guillaume Briere, Sam Duckworth, and popcorn death.
You’re a fairly new band, and there’s not much on the internet about you, so tell us about your backgrounds in music.
We first met at a wayward music college in …
Swim Deep look like they’ve stepped out of a ‘90s Cameron Crowe slacker flick to lounge on your sofa and flip dejectedly through your magazines.

After a hellish journey, numerous trains cancelled, I arrive at Sacred Trinity Church in Salford. Tonight is the debut headline show for No Ceremony, an elusive electronic band causing quite a stir at the moment. With only one live show under their belts, as part of the line-up for …
