Singles of the Week (41//20)

1) Flowerbed - Everything 

 

 

 
New single from Denton band noise-pop / shoegaze band... It was also the night that the skeletons came to life They came from under the ground And from all over Exactly The bones are the skeleton's money In our world bones equal dollars That's why they're coming out tonight To get their bones from you The skeletons'll pull your hair Up, but not out All they want is another chance at life They've never seen so much food as this Underground doesn't have as much food as this And the worms are their money The bones are their dollars And it was also the night that the skeletons came to life The bones are their money So are the worms They pull your hair up but not out To turn into a man and have another chance at life But if they pull it out they turn to Bones.

2) Blanketman - Beach Body

 

 

New single Music by Blanketman. Video by Hannah Cobb Blanketman sweat and toil in a city called Manchester. They drink in pubs, eat supermarket meal deals and play musical instruments. Formed in late 2017, Blanketman have gigged extensively throughout Manchester performing their original brand of restless-legged post-punk. The band have established a strong reputation within the city’s thriving underground scene receiving accolades from admirers ranging from Blossoms to Brix Smith, with the Manchester Evening News claiming that the band are ‘breathing new life into 70s/80s post-punk’. Having started to make waves nationally with a string of festival appearances and Radio 1 plays in 2019 and 2020, the bands eagerly awaited debut single is ready for release in Feb 2020.

5) Chubby and the Gang - All Along the Uxbridge Road 

 

 

 
New video “All Along the Uxbridge Road” taken from the debut album ‘Speed Kills.’ Pre-order vinyl from Partisan Records "Debut double A-Side from stalwart London face, Chubby Charles (ARMS RACE, VIOLENT REACTION) and three members of GUTTER KNIFE. Chubby and the Gang has a particular way of playing, easily summed up in one word: speed. Like an engine modified Wilko Johnson driving too quickly through tiny familiar northwest London streets. Debts duly paid to the preceding punk and rock n roll goalposts nailed in at one end by THE KIDS, and at the other by CYANIDE or THE CARPETTES. This is today’s punk in Britain."
original released July 5, 2019
