“Holy State joined the ever expanding Brew Records roster earlier this month. The gritty post-punk merchants formed in 2008 and offer a constant array of loud & warm dynamics. Their debut full length LP and UK tour is planned for April 2012. After previous tours with Rolo Tomassi, Blood Red Shoes & being hand selected by Biffy Clyro to join them on their UK arena dates, Holy State have cemented their place in the dynamic UK music scene”.
With the resurgence of London`s The Maccabees, the rising popularity of The Mutineers from sunny Manchester and a host of wholesale British mainstream artists peppering the North American charts at will, British music is again a matter of artistic providence. I`d by the first to admit my fellow Brits up until recently are totally ill-equipped and inexcusably naive in regards to their Online footprint. UK PR and media companies are finally providing easily digestible info to promote British talent. Norfolk/Leeds based Holy State are obligingly giving away the single `Lady Magika` over at Bandcamp for the price of an email address, a very tempting teaser off the forthcoming debut `Electric Picture Palace`. They enhance vintage sounds within delicious guitar riffs and meticulous indie rhythms, Holy State have plenty of room to maneuver, plenty of time to the expand their melodic ideas.

“Due out on the 20th February 2012 through Cartoon Records, four-piece Towns start 2012 with a new split-single release ‘Gone Are The Days’ and a string of shows around the U.K. Formed in their native Weston-Super-Mare, Towns are four close friends who grew up together with an inspiration taken from 90’s guitar music. Keen to do things their own way Towns have spent 2011 hosting band nights in Bristol, which has seen the likes of Tribes and The Chapman Family headline, releases a cassette through local label Howling Owl Records and continued to write, record and hone their shoegaze inspired sound”.
An inspired debut release from Towns, the West Country outfit who proudly wear their 90`s guitar driven Post-Pop influences like a giant luminous lighthouse. Already noticed by music journo`s from the NME , local music press and national music blogs, these bright star-larlatans have just landed a gig at the Camden Barfly, London under the banner of `The Fly Magazine’s one to watch`. Perfectly laid down guitar noise with the bass pitched delicately one pace behind, Early Blur – Ride – The Charlatans are obvious comparisons but add the fuel injected Shoegaze and we`re dealing with a surprisingly more feisty creation. Debut single produced by Owen Morris (Oasis/Verve).
