We’ve selected Martha Hill as our Artist Of The Week! After growing up in rural Scotland, she left home at 17 to tour Europe as a busker, before finally settling down in Newcastle. Her take on pop music is refreshing, working in elements of hip-hop’s swinging drums and echo-drenched guitars and horns reminiscent of indie/surf rock. We love her single “Spiders” a lot, and we feel you will, too:
We’ve picked Brighton-via-Limerick rockers Warsaw Radio as our Artist Of The Week! The band’s enveloping poetic lyrics are backed up by musical talent of equaling strength. With huge hooky choruses and anthem-like buildups, fans of Arcade Fire, Wilco and some of The Killers early work will find lots to love here. Check out our pick “New Day” to see what we’re on about:
Our Artist Of The Week is Hengistbury! With shared vocals, guitar, violin, lap steel and banjo all featuring heavily in their repertoire, Hengistbury’s distinctive blend of country, roots and folk from both sides of the Atlantic is both electrifying and captivating in equal measures. Fans of Americana and folk music are sure to love our favourite tune “What Folks Don’t Know”, which you can check out below!
We selected rapper/producer Mav Elbzy as this week’s Artist Of The Week. This multifaceted songwriter pens beautifully introspective lyrics, not afraid to brush with melancholic emotion, while as a producer his beat crafting is equal parts booming low-end and filtered ambience. Check out our choice track “Set Sail” to get a taste for yourself:
Bethlehem Casuals are this week’s Artist Of The Week! Hailing from Manchester the band marries a world of influence, heavy grooves and tribal drum circles all with a distinctly urban twist of folk rock to create urban rock-styled DIY world music. With upbeat tempos and jubilant horns aplenty, we can’t get enough of our choice track “Mind’s Eye”, which you can check out below:
