Last Of The Wonder Kids

Genre : Alternative/ indie 

Bio : Last Of The Wonder Kids are a three piece alt/indie band based in Grimsby. Over the past few years they have gigged up and down the U.K. and built a solid fan base across many major cities, garnering huge support from the likes of BBC Introducing and 6Music, securing slots at major festivals such as Kendal Calling. 

Track: Doom & Gloom

Why We Like It: It’s an energetic blast of alternative rock swarmed in jaunty indie guitar, rumbling drums and groove-infested bass lines.The track has a charming tone with light guitar refrains providing glimmers of radiance through the buoyant rhythmic foundation. Exuding a 90’s alternative vibe, the breezy moody melody drifts along the bubbling backdrop with ease while the smooth vocals and cheeky lyrics make this track such a fun and blistering listening experience. With a shredding guitar solo and explosive crescendo, ‘Doom & Gloom’ is a well crafted invigorating gem.

Track: U Got It Goin On

Why We Like It: It’s an easy going number centered around a lively guitar refrain and steady beat, allowing Family Jools showcase their mellow and lyrically rich musicianship.

The Hunna

Genre :Alternative

Bio :The Hunna have released their new album ‘I’d Rather Die Than Let You In’. The UK grunge rockers have been releasing a new track every month leading up to their album. The record packages their last two years, where they rid the ghosts of their past and celebrate a new journey/chapter. Working with Travis Barker, Josh Dunn, Pete Wentz and more, the new music showcases their anger, resilience and ultimate rebirth, as The Hunna states, “It’s okay to be angry but it’s time to move on.”

Track: Young & Faded

Why We Like It: This dark, smothering track entices and lures with hypnotic guitar refrains before building into a drum heavy explosion of alternative rock. It’s anthemic and powerful as the catchy chorus surges with arena ready energy while the slithering sinister verses intoxicate with electronic beats mangled beneath expressive drum rumbles and haunting guitars. ‘Young & Faded’ is a dynamic single from The Hunna.

Check out their new album ‘I’d Rather Die Than Let You In’. Its a doozy.

Bio :Seán Finn is a multi-instrumental songwriter grounded in pop and jazz. Seán is classically trained on piano, self-taught on guitar, and has been writing music for the last 6 years.

Track: Don’t You Wish

Why We Like It: It’s a charming buoyant ditty coated in jazz flavoured mellow guitar with a vibrant rhythmic section. Oozing a catchy chorus and organ-esque keys the song emits a retro 60’s hue. With smooth vocals and quirky lyrics ‘Don’t You Wish’ is a catchy, shimmy-ready, easy listening bop.

Our Worth A Listen Track This Week Comes From FAMILY JOOLS

Bristol’s FAMILY JOOLS have release their fourth single ‘American Dream’ on End Of The Trail Records. ‘American Dream’ is blissful sun soaked nostalgia in the form of blistering alternative rock smothered in unadulterated Americana. With a honey drizzled melody that is instantly catchy and euphoric, it’s a sweet luscious two-minute nostalgic dose of heaven. A sharp stinging guitar riff announces this track triumphantly with piercing scorching humidity. Spikey, jagged and a bit The Strokes- esque, its instantly thrilling and wholly satisfying. Punchy drums add a sticky elasticity while smooth vocals coo with a soothing warmth and passion. It’s fiery and tightly knit. This sweltering track exudes soul yet is fresh and modern. There is no doubt about the slick musicianship of these guys.
FAMILY JOOLS are now working on completing their debut LP (still unnamed) which will be released before the end of the year. So, keep an eye out for that.
