🎧 Approved: The Black Wizards
Porto trio The Black Wizards make garage rock with a political edge and a sharp sense of humour. New single ‘Wishing Well’ is frantic proto-punk, and their fourth album was recorded in five chaotic days after the original sessions fell through. Rough edges intact, the album will arrive on 4 Sep…

🎧 Approved: Fat Dog
South London seven-piece Fat Dog make chaotic, euphoric electro-punk-art-rock with very few rules. New single ‘Shit Love’ is stabbing synths and manic vocals. Second album ‘Cancel Me (I'm Tired)’ is out 2 Oct. They headline Brixton in the same month…

🎧 Approved: Dani Offline

🎧 Approved: Moses Boyd
Moses Boyd is back after five years away and ‘Say Yeah’ was worth the wait - gospel-rooted, dancefloor-ready jazz with a London accent and a hook so simple it works in any language. A video made with Woolwich Creative Club has exactly the communal feel the song is about…

🎧 Approved: Kamal.
Kamal. had 250 million streams and a Dave collab before he’d even put out a debut album. That arrives 17 Jul and new single ‘Back Then’ - a voice note recorded in his childhood home turned into something genuinely hard to shake - suggests it's been worth the wait…
