Does the world need a new Andrew W.K. album in 2018? If your answer to that question is a curt ‘no’, then you are turning your nose up at the concept of fun itself. Sure, he’s largely remembered for songs he released almost 20 years ago, but at this point he is more than just a musician.

Simian Mobile Disco have unveiled a new track.

Let's Eat Grandma will play Heaven in London on September 27.

The Temperance Movement have shared a video for Caught in the Middle.

Kojey Radical has released his first single of 2018.

E.E. Cummings’ poem Nobody Loses All The Time tells the tale of Uncle Sol, who despite being “born a failure” still manages to rack up several attempts at success before drowning himself in a water tank. In death, though, he brings about new life. It’s a posthumous, ironic win for a chronic loser: “Somebody pressed a button (and down went my Uncle Sol and started a worm farm).”

Halestorm have announced their biggest UK and European tour to date.

Daniel Wakeford has confirmed further tour dates and announced details of his new album, 'That's How I See It'.

Following a seven year hiatus, indie-rockers Embrace resurrected their career in superb fashion on 2014’s electronically flavoured self-titled effort. But, rather than continuing down that road, they have immediately returned to their signature sound on ‘Love is a Basic Need’, an uneven record that’s bogged down by an overload of decent, but rarely spectacular, ballads.

Halfnoise have shared a video for their new single, Flowerss.

Mona have lined up spring shows in Manchester and London.

Boy Azooga have lined up a headline London show for this autumn.
