Welcome to Hull. Home of the Humber Bridge, the birthplace of boiled sweets and now the inception of local band Low Hummer. Our own Dom Smith had a catch up with the Hull sextet about their new album. Low Hummer is already being hailed as one of the best bands in the UK right now, having formed a few months BC (before Covid) and now have released one of the best debut albums of this year. Having been signed to the Dance To The Radio label, the group have released their first album entitled Mode

This week here at Soundsphere HQ, we got the chance to interview one of the most exciting rock bands around, Fontaines D.C. During the interview, we talk about the Jim Beam: Live Sessions, what the guys miss about touring, releasing A Hero’s Death during the lockdown, and what lies in store for their upcoming third record. What happens when one of the best live bands in Europe (maybe even the world) are stopped dead in their tracks for one of the strangest years on record? The post-punk giants

The trailer for the third season of the critically acclaimed HBO comedy-drama Succession has been released. The Emmy Award-winning show will return to HBO this fall with regular cast members Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Jeremy Strong, Nicholas Braun and Matthew Macfadyen. After the events of last season, where Kendall publicly defied his father, you can bet the drama teased in the trailer for the new season is primed to explode. With the limited amount of information on specifics for

Music is often talked about as a great form of therapy, whether that be listening to it or creating it, there is a lot to be taken from a song that can hit you lyrically where you live. Clear Vinyl, an up and coming Sheffield band have this quality in spades, and their new single ‘Show Me How To Live’ is a wonderful mix of personal lyricism and sugary, energetic guitar melodies that burrow their way into your brain and never want to leave. Clear Vinyl is currently made up of Josh Feeley (vocals)

“I think we’re massive attention whores! I love being validated by strangers. And I think the options are: go to Morrison’s car park at two in the morning, and hope someone you know, fancies me, or, start playing music.” No, you did read that right, that is the drummer of HUNYBEES Louis Bailey stating the intentions of the band hilariously. I couldn’t decide if chatting to HUNYBEES was like an interview as first promised, or (and I mean this in the best possible way) chatting to two random blok

It was an overcast Thursday afternoon when I met Cucamaras over a Zoom call, the four lads dripped in one by one and assembled for the interview. Having done my research, I was excited to interview them about their massive step forward for the band sonically and lyrically. What do you think of when you hear the words post-punk? You may think of bands like Fontaines DC, The Murder Capital, and of course IDLES. But prepare to hear a new name amongst the resurgence of post-punk that is taking the U

A teacher embarks on a long journey with a donkey to find her secret lover in the countryside, with plenty of humour, romance and the odd misjudged moment here and there. How many romantic comedies can you name that involve a donkey? You have the classic that is Shrek, but you can now add one more to that category with the new film My Donkey, My Lover and I, which injects the classic rom-com formula with a donkey. This sounds like an unusual premise from the title, and at times it can be, with

This week, Brett spoke (virtually) to well-renowned drummer Matt Tong, a veteran of indie darlings Bloc Party and now with the critically acclaimed group Algiers. We talked about lockdown, the influences on the band’s last album, Massive Attack, favourite memories and what success means to him. I ask Tong how his lockdown has been, “I’m in New York right now, I’ve been here for ten years, and you know it was definitely quite a haunting experience, somewhat compounded by the fact that I got the

During the current crisis that has gripped the world, people have taken to different forms of entertainment to preserve their sanity. People look to nostalgia for some sense of comfort and whilst the classics are always needed, sometimes it’s good to look for something new. This new LP from four-piece Canadian indie-rock outfit TOPS is a pleasant distraction from the outside world at large. The fourth album from the band titled ‘I Feel Alive’ is a 35-minute burst of pleasant synthy pop-rock tha
