2) Get Wrong - It's So Easy

 

 

News from Glasgow, UK synth pop / indie duo... 

“It's So Easy” by Get Wrong From Get Wrong's s/t EP out December 1, 2023 

(Alcopop + Father/Daughter Records) .

Introducing Get Wrong, the new project of Naomi Griffin of Martha and Adam Todd of The Spook School. Their debut self-titled EP will be released December 1, 2023 via Father/Daughter (US) and Alcopop! (UK). The EP was produced, recorded, and mixed by Peter Brewis and mastered by David Brewis, both of the band Field Music. Get Wrong is a somewhat long-distance collaboration, with Naomi based in Durham, England and Adam based in Glasgow, Scotland. With a shared background in the UK indie pop/punk scene, the two friends decided to embrace their love of pop music and create songs outside their usual comfort zone of chugging guitars and squealing feedback. The resulting output draws inspiration from 80s synth-pop alongside current pop megastars, with an approach that embraces fun, cuteness, intimacy and dream-like nostalgia. Taken from the North-East English colloquialism for getting into trouble, the band name Get Wrong serves as a mission statement to encourage child-like naivety while questioning the status quo.

5) Wings of Desire - A Gun In Every Home / 001 [Tame The War, Feed The Fire] 

 

 

News from London, UK indie-rock duo...

 

Drawing inspiration from psychological revolution, visual arts, and 20th century counterculture, the result is a Factory-era creative outlet for a disenfranchised generation. Wings of Desire is simply a mirror to the planetary shift we are all experiencing, to permeate the zeitgeist and remind us all that there is more to living than what we consider tangible.
