Four-piece indie rock band Pretty Mafia (formerly known as Ascendo) have stamped their new intentions with authority on their blistering new single, ‘Benny Blanco’. The Wakefield band have written a song here inspired by 1990’s epic gangster movies and as such the track itself is mesmerising and intelligent. Pretty Mafia’s sound is clean and direct with memorable guitar work topped off by a raw vocal from frontman Charlie Williams. ‘Benny Blanco’ is our Single Of The Week and a must listen. Listen out for our interview with the band on next week’s podcast.

This week host Adam Jackson-Wright has an interview with North-Manchester band Callow Youth who have just released their new EP. Plus our Single Of The Week is revealed. Music comes from Rosellas, Grace Savage, Paul Nixon, The Last Ghost, Marquis Drive and more. A great show as always, check it out~!

Rosellas are a band who haven’t rested on their laurels over various lockdown periods, having released their excellent previous single ‘Damaged’ at the start of the year and also supporting Liam Gallagher at the Music Feeds Online Music Festival. 90’s indie band James have taken Rosellas under their wing and become mentors to them. ‘Common Ground’ is Rosellas's new release, a guitar driven indie rock anthem that has echoes of the heyday of 90’s indie music. A perfectly crafted, catchy and shining release. ‘Common Ground’ is our Single Of The Week, a single from a band who are destined to progress throughout 2021.

Birmingham based solo artist Dean Dovey has today released his new single, ‘Shout!’, a positive, stomper of a tune that is upbeat and carefree. Not picking up a guitar until his thirties, Dovey has been songwriting for over ten years now, taking inspiration from Richard Ashcroft, Noel Gallagher and The Doors.
