King Of The Slums Manchester, UK
King of the Slums are probably the most ‘under the radar’ and important band to come from Manchester. They started up around
1985 in the Hulme, area of Manchester but never considered themselves a 'Manchester' band - just a band with an arty background, a little self-indulgent and gritty, story-type songs..

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future.

Clear Pond Road
by Kristin Hersh
supported by 4 fans who also own “Bard & Potter Ltd. / Frogwood”
been living with this record since release day, and it has really got to me: been a fan since the 1980s but his one feels different, more personal. Then I watched spellbound in Glasgow last night as Kristin and cello player Pete Harvey brought these songs alive in front of me. I think I forgot to breathe in some parts. Clear Pond Road is a stunning achievement.

Our Chemistry is a Tightrope

Hopscotching from jangle pop and post-hardcore to math rock and shoegaze, these Minnesota rockers have a gift for musical multitasking.

Cardiff band Red Telephone can't disguise the pure pop sensibility in their blistering alt-rock songs.

Hayes Noble's version of indie rock blends the blown-out textures of shoegaze and the energy of punk with catchy songwriting.

These tracks were recorded around the same time as their self-titled debut, and while that was excellent, I reckon this to be twice as good. Funky, chunky, melodic and lyrically superlative, Mark E. Smith would be very pleased and proud to be honoured so regally, not that he'd ever admit it.
