Hinds – Carlotta Cosials, Ana Perrote, Ade Martin and Amber Grimbergen – have announced their long-awaited second record I Don’t Run. Out April 6 the new album shows a bigger, better, faster, funnier, more dexterous Hinds. Co-produced by the band and Gordon Raphael [The Strokes], and mixed by Shawn Everett [Alabama Shakes, The War On Drugs], I Don’t Run is the product of a band fighting for their place, a band unwilling to rely upon their successes, a band who have just begun to prove themselves, and a band who plays hard but works even harder. Pre-order I Don’t Run HERE.

Hinds also announce tour dates today – this April they will bring I Don’t Run and their insanely fun live show across Europe. You can find a show near you and get your tickets HERE.

To celebrate the announce, Hinds also share I Don’t Run’s first single, “New For You”, with a music video that sees the band dominate the fútbol field.

Of their self-directed music video Cosials says: “I thought it cannot be more Spanish (football) and that it cannot be more a male sport, and that it is good to present a different gender-reality without even trying hard. I think sports are such a good metaphor with life, with goals, passion and suffer.”

Sunflower Bean have announced their second record Twentytwo in Blue will be released on March 23rd when all members of the band – Julia Cumming, Jacob Faber and Nick Kivlen – will be 22 years old. The album comes almost two years and two months after the release of their critically acclaimed 2016 debut album Human Ceremony.

Co-produced by Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s Jacob Portrait (who also mixed the record) and HC-producer Matt Molnar of Friends, Twentytwo in Blue shows Sunflower Bean stay true to their guitar band core and classic rock-inspired roots, while exploring new sonic textures with more direct and progressive themes.  See here for album art and tracklisting and pre-order HERE.

To celebrate the album announce Sunflower Bean share a new single, and follow up to “I Was A Fool”, entitled “Crisis Fest” which comes with an Andy DeLuca-directed documentary style music video, both a homage to the NYC DIY community and a nod to the era of CBGB’s below.

Dream Wife are gearing up to the release of their long-awaited self-titled debut album, which will be released on January 26th. Today, they share new single ‘Hey Heartbreaker’ alongside an incredible video animated and directed by Joe Prytherch, more widely known by his moniker Mason London and his role as the former art director of Boiler Room.  The video was premiered by i-D.

Envisioning a dystopian near-future depicting the band as robot performers held in a sleazy bar against their will, Prytherch’s imaginative direction and distinct art style is stunning. Taking loose inspiration from Anime, and the acclaimed Akira, the Robo-Dream Wife’s performance and breakneck escape offers a substantive and incredibly cinematic music video.

Dream Wife comment on the video:

“We were super excited to work with Mason London to bring the world of Hey! Heartbreaker to life. Collaboration is integral in our approach to Dream Wife, and we encourage different creative ideas and paths to mix with our own vision.

 It’s uncanny to watch these mechanical, parallel versions of ourselves rock out and then break out. We like to think that in another reality our robot versions are continuing their adventures; perhaps in the forest, perhaps plotting for a robot revolution, perhaps playing wild, secret rock shows to other robos”.

The band are also excited to announce an intimate launch show on album release day at the Sebright Arms in London, exclusive to fans signed up to their mailing list, as well as a free in-store at Rough Trade East. Following which the band will head off to Australia and then a full UK and European tour, which will include their biggest headline show to-date at London’s Heaven.

Dream Wife release their long-awaited self-titled debut album early next year and today they share a striking music video for the record’s opening track. Let’s Make Out’, the band’s celebratory ode to femme sexuality and consent, has premiered with Noisey.

Dream Wife explains the video: “Let’s Make Out is a lighthearted celebration of sexuality. Women are and have a right to be sexual beings. The video is silly, hedonistic and really fun. There is no shame in sexuality, there is no shame in fun. But remember; consent is key.

Proms are synonymous with coming of age, a necessary social before graduation. We threw an irl (in real life) prom at our recent London show to announce our album and the night ended with much of the cast from the video making out and dancing with us on stage. Prom in many ways represents us coming of age as a band and we’re hoping to usher in this new era; dancing, making out, making things with our friends and flipping the script every step of the way.”

Renowned for their ferocious live show, the band are also excited to announce a UK and European tour, which will include their biggest headline show to-date at London’s Heaven. All forthcoming live dates below.
