Release Date: Out NowNew music from Eska makes any day a good day and the arrival of new single 'Daddy Long Legs' is very special indeed. A series of bleeps and bloops introduces us to an alien transmission of a song that stands on the shoulders of Prince and Janelle Monae with Eska's strident voice calling out to be taken to our leader.

Release Date: Out NowEx-Lush head honcho Miki Berenyi and her trio have teamed up with Lol Tolhurst and Gray for latest single 'Stranger' and it really is a dreamy masterpiece. Berenyi's distinctive vocal floats effortlessly over the melody with Dubstar meets St Etienne ease and panache as the six minute track takes us on an odyssey of bliss.

THE LOTTERY WINNERS - SINGLE REVIEW The Lottery Winners - I Know The Lottery Winners - I Know Release Date: Out Now I first saw an early incarnation of this band playing a cover of the theme from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air at a wedding reception in Halifax. They were ace back then and now, a few line up changes and a whole lot of gigs later, they are getting even better.

Release Date: Out NowIn a real snub to guitarists, Falmouth outfit Shoes Off have gone for a line-up of Drums, Bass, Vocals and more Vocals but it bloody works. On new single 'Violent Flowers', the rhythm section provides a slinky, almost sinister mood that falls somewhere between a Muse live jam, Frank Zappa and skeezy New Orleans dive bar in the wee small hours.

Release Date: Out NowAn unassuming but brooding intro from Cornish noisemakers Falling Empires might lull you into a false sense of security on their new single 'Keelhaul' and the breathy, almost whispered verse vocal does nothing to suggest you'd be wrong.

Release Date: Out NowThe guitar sound at the start of this latest release from Cornish rockers Moosehead is brilliant and will appeal to fans of Tom Morello or early Soundgarden so if that sounds like you then read on.

Release Date: Out NowThe first few seconds of this latest release from Belfast's Problem Patterns are so brilliantly glam rock that it got me incredibly excited and the rest of the song doesn't disappoint either. 'Sad Old Woman' comes thundering in on the back of a horse swinging a mace made of leather and starts spitting truths at anyone who cares to listen.

Release Date: Out Now'Buried But Blooming' is the debut EP from orchestral London punks 'Thwack!' and it is six tracks of adventure that you need to jump into feet first to get the full experience. The EP opens with 'The Rockstop Overture', a cello rich melody joined by the kind of spoken word you'd expect from a modern reworking of a Dickens tome.

Release Date: Out NowSix women, five tracks and a whole lot of noise coming your way courtesy of London collective Twat Union and their debut EP, 'Don't Look It In The Eye'. If you've yet to experience the self-confessed feral feminist theatre punks, this is as good a place to start as any so pull on your fishnets, don't hold back with the mascara and let's get involved.

Release Date: Out NowThis is a more introspective and reflective track from Exeter trio Soot Sprite but don't be fooled into thinking this is any less powerful than their previous releases. 'Vicious Cycles' packs the emotional punch of an 80s power ballad mixed with the visceral power of Calva Louise or My Vitriol at their most acerbic.
