THE GIG
Merchandise - Sheffield, The Harley Hotel & Bar


Tampa Florida’s Merchandise stop off midway through their UK tour at The Harley Hotel & Bar, Sheffield. Fuzz, psych and all the trimmings in the perfect dose.

THE SONG
TIDEUP - A DANCE IN THE DARK


There’s definite method to Orlando duo Tideup’s madness. The synth-pop duo avoid convention by essentially playing chamber-music in cave-like surroundings. It’s enough to send even the steadiest of bearings skewizz. ‘A DANCE IN THE DARK’ is the darkest turn to date, with ‘Drive’-soundtracking potential to boot. Moody and unwavering, they’d shaken off bedroom roots, have Tideup, and they sound like one mighty prospect.

Die Jungen - Do What You Want
Phases Of The Night by Die Jungen

Taken from (somehow) unsigned musical nutjob Die Jungen’s collection of early years demos, ‘Do What You Want’ was recorded late last year. It features ‘doo-wops’, or, in this case, ‘sha-wa sha-wa’ hums, slinking guitar lines and distant, airy vocals belonging to the UK bedroom artist.
