Top five new releases this Autumn



Broken Hands - Turbulence (album)

Kent-based five piece Broken Hands are one of this years outstanding rock bands on the rise. Their debut album Turbulence was released earlier this month and I've pretty much had it on repeat. With the album entailing killer and rather intense guitar riffs throughout accompanying futuristic and mechanical, space sounding synths; each song so carefully crafted yet at the same time each song screams that they mean business. Favourites of mine being 'Spectrum', 'Who Sent You' and 'Death Grip'. I reckon it will soon be non stop for these guys as they're easily one of the best new rock bands.

Sundara Karma - Vivienne (single)
Sundara Karma have been catching the ears of indie teens recently after supporting Swim Deep not so long ago. The alternative quartet have also just set off on their very own headline tour across the UK. Vivienne, their newest single, stays nicely in line with their reputation for creating fast-paced euphoric summer sounding anthems; sounding as if they'd easily feel at home within the walls of arenas with the tendency for uncontrollable singalongs

Blossoms- Charlemagne (single)
To say this has been a good month for Blossoms would be an understatement; with a UK headline tour now over and done with which went out with a bang last night at a sold out show at Manchester Ritz, the band also released their new single Charlemagne earlier this month. With the song throwing out catchy and foot tapping melodies, featuring prominent guitar synths putting a spin on the track, differing from the 70's sound of older tracks on their Blown Rose EP and setting the way for other up and coming rock bands.

I interviewed the band just last week - click HERE to read.

Splashh - Pure Blue (Single)
Meet Splashh - an indie-grunge band formed in Hackney; however, none of the members are actually from London, with two members coming from Australia. I first became familiar with the band after seeing them support Peace a couple of weeks ago whilst deep in a moshpit created by their presence. Pure Blue, their newest single, consists of grungy feel good vibes alongside breezy reverb-heavy vocals.

Mayflower - Sienna (single)

Introducing new Manchester four piece - Mayflower; with their sound similar to the likes of Kodaline and Elbow, I instantly took a liking to them after hearing the delicacy of this song. They've already got the likes of BBC Introducing and DJ Steve Lamacq behind them and have a few other singles available to listen to on Soundcloud. Despite the fact that the band have only been together for a year, I think that this track sounds impressively tight and refined.
