Three Days From Retirement – Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom Introducing Three Days From Retirement is something perhaps easiest after a little context via in-band inspiration. The band, like many in the scene, are somewhat elusive but again, like most in the scene, wear their influences on their sleeves. TDFR cite the likes of Mogwai, Russian
Dutch Elm – Newcastle, England, United Kingdom. Cover photo: BLINDFACE – Here. Dutch Elm – In Hindsight. A release I’ve been meaning to sit down with for a while. EN covered the band in an introductory form back in January of this year, which you can find – Here. If you’d rather just step to it, then
Kamino – Bristol, England, United Kingdom. Introducing Kamino and their colossal sounds is easiest via a statement I utter regularly and one that is truer each time it is said. Bristol is perhaps one of the most eclectic, progressive, diverse and important cities in the UK regarding underground music. The south-west institution is rife with

Through some sonic research within the ever-demanding need for new music, “gateway bands” and more often than not, good old fashioned word of mouth, you will discover a thriving scene where Instrumental music truly reigns.

This is partially because of my living quarters being not too far from the city but also because whenever I see
Clay Lake – Stoke, England, United Kingdom. Emo was/is/always will be such a strange phenomenon and talking point within the music scene. Most people will think of the My Chemical Romance, Panic At The Disco fringe-laden days of school ridicule towards anyone wearing black or stripes, while others will cite the time – whether they
Steve Strong – Plymouth, England, United Kingdom. It is safe to stay that if I was to let my mind and words match the career and facts about this underground musician and multi-instrumentalist, that I would write something comparable in length to the Anglo-Saxon chronicle or something akin in time to the amount of said
Dutch Elm – Newcastle, England, United Kingdom. The genres of Post-Rock and Post-Metal are renowned for their long, drawn, out seemingly eternal sonic-epics and their ability to invoke such an imagery upon the mind.
