BUZZ FEED

All the buzziest new music happenings, in one place.

BLACK COUNTRY, ON THE ROAD

Is there any better, more hopeful feeling than seeing a brand, sparkling new tour announced these days? Almost certainly no - especially when said tour is helmed by one of 2020’s most exciting new prospects.

Jazz-loving Londoners Black Country, New Road will be hitting the, er, road starting next January for a massive, two-month UK and European jaunt. Beginning in Belgium, it’ll see them arrive back on home shores mid-Feb, winding up at London’s Electric Ballroom on 3rd March.

TASMANIAN ANGELS

Tasmanian punks A. Swayze and the Ghosts have revealed plans for debut album ‘Paid Salvation’. Set to land 18th September via Ivy League Records, it’ll see them follow up urgent, exciting early singles ‘Suddenly’ and ‘Connect to Consume’ with a full-length that aims to hit even harder.

“It really shits me off when bands have this pedestal and they have the ability to influence so much around them and they waste it by singing about stupid shit. If you’re given this audience, I think you have to have something to say. And I definitely intend on abusing that right,” says Andrew Swayze of the release. Be prepared.

FULL SPEED AHEAD

Speedy Wunderground have been responsible for early releases from some of the last few years’ best new artists (Squid, black midi and Sinead O’Brien to name but a few), so it’s with no small degree of delight that news of their first album release has finally arrived.

That honour goes to London’s pinkloving, psych-tinged eccentrics Tiña, who’ll be releasing ‘Positive Mental Health Music’ on 6th November following their suitably excellent, Brian Jonestown Massacreesque single ‘I Feel Fine’ on the label last year.
