Surfacing: Composer Thom Robson And The Good Natured's Sarah McIntosh Team Up For Wnderland Project [New Band]

Words: Saam Das

As 2020 passes us by shortly, we've been reflecting on the manner in which the pandemic must have arrested the development of many a new band. Even dab hands like Wnderland, a duo comprised of Sarah McIntosh (the driving force behind such stellar acts as The Good Natured, Lovestarrs, and Sazzie) and experienced composer Thom Robson, likely saw their progress stalled. Catch up on their brooding synth debut tracks, 'Changing' and 'Who Are You' below.

Are You Listening Festival (Reading, 23 April '16) // Words: Saam Das

It's fair to say that Reading's Are You Listening? Festival is somewhat overshadowed by its geographically similar August-held music festival. But perhaps it shouldn't be. At just £15 for dozens of top notch bands across various venues, and none of the logistic issues of camping and what not, Are You Listening is certainly worth investigating.

Listen: Lovestarrs - Life Is A Bitch [EP Preview]

Words: Saam Das

I've never been all that bothered about song lyrics - for me, melodies trump messages - but there's a certain absurdism about the everyday words of the new track from Lovestarrs. Following up from debut single 'Get Your Sexy On', 'Life Is A Bitch' embodies its straight-shooting title lyrically, combining it with an infectious bubblegum pop sound.

We're still a bit sad about the unexpected demise of The Good Natured but it's always darkest before the dawn etc. Rising again under new guise Lovestarrs, the electro-pop trio delivered a huge sounding debut track in 'Get Your Sexy On', which now has its own video.

Surfacing: Lovestarrs [New Band]

Words: Saam Das

"Do you ever feel like cupid is a bitch?" ask electro-pop trio Lovestarrs, introducing their Valentine's Day free download, 'Stupid Cupid'. Not really, to be honest, but never let the truth get in the way of a half-decent blog post intro. Have a listen to that track along with their debut effort, 'Get Your Sexy On' below. Get your listen on. Or something.
