Honeyblood Ready For The Magic





Glasgow duo Honeyblood are back with new single Ready For The Magica taste of what's to come from their second album Babes Never Die

 Their excellent self-titled debut from 2014 is one of my favourite albums of recent years and the band's latest track delivers the punch, energy and sense of fun that flavoured their previous offerings.

If this song is anything to go by, Cat Myers, Honeyblood's second and current drummer has certainly put her own stamp on the new material as this song captures an essence of the strong and vigorous sound that has characterised the band's live performances since she joined.

RAT BOY Get Over It



One of 2016's most talked about up and coming artists RAT BOY aka Jordan Cardy has dropped new single Get Over It, from the  EP of the same name set for release on 26th August. The funky track feels like Cardy's take on a 70s exploitation film soundtrack, and showcases his knack for combining elements of multiple musical genres and styles to create something that's unmistakably his own. 

This catchy and slick song bodes well for the upcoming EP, and it's made me think how great a RAT BOY/Gorillaz collab would be!




Be sure to catch RAT BOY when he hits the road on his September tour! Check out my review of his set at this year's Dot To Dot Festival http://beatsurrender.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/dot-to-dot-festival-nottingham-review.html
