Don't let the macabre cover art for 'Waiting' the new single from London and Leeds based solo artist LUKA fool you - it is a classic unrequited love song with a beautifully tender vocal.

Exeter indie-pop band Pattern Pusher have today released their new single, 'Come Along', an indie funk/soul track that is bursting with positive energy.

"I visited South London for a party when I was nineteen and basically never left..."

In defence of indie. 

This week host Adam Wright plays both our Hottest New Track and our Single Of The Week plus we have not one but two great interviews - the multi-talented GracieSouz and an interview with Manchester band DDE's who have just released a great new single.

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.
