Drop everything – it’s time for Noteworthy Nods: our weekly round-up of the freshest new tunes pumping through our office speakers! Last week brought bangers from the likes of Kula Shaker, TRASHCLUB, The Avelles, Corella, Louis and the Shakes, ME REX, Bad Nerves and more. And this week’s playlist is stacked with even more amazing releases from Seb Lowe, The Clause, Twin Atlantic, EH52, The Sankaras, Buddy Wynkoop, Rum Jungle, and The Rions, to name but a few.
As constant readers know, the Nods section is all about discovering new artists and sharing our latest finds with all of you. So dial up the volume and let us (and the artists) know what new tracks are winning you over! A simple social media shout-out for your favourites goes a long way for independent musicians. And we’re always thirsty for more recommendations – feel free to slide into our DMs on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. There’s never enough music!
So stop reading and let the tunes speak for themselves! Whether your taste veers towards mellow, acoustic ballads or energetic rock anthems, this week’s diverse playlist has something to get each and every one of you into weekend mode. Enjoy our faves, and see you next week!
As always, this section is all about showcasing up-and-coming talent more than anything so please do show your support for any of the new music you enjoy in these playlists. It only takes a second to share your love for musicians on social media, it doesn’t cost a thing and goes a seriously long way to helping musicians out. At the same time, we’re also always more than grateful for any suggestions/recommendations any of you might have and we’d love to hear from you over on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. You can also contact us directly on Twitter here where our DM door is always wide open.
Aside from the aforementioned track recommendations, our Noteworthy section includes weekly videocast interviews featuring musical talent we hope are either already or, about to become your new favorite artists. You can watch/rewatch all previous episodes via the video playlist (here) featuring the likes of Cast, Shambolics, Shed Seven, Turin Brakes, Embrace, Red Rum Club, The K’s, The Sherlocks, The Slow Readers Club, Stanleys, The Native, The Clause, and many more.
