The verses bubble and build on a bright sun speckled indie backdrop while the chorus hits like a bolt of lightning setting the track ablaze with heavy guitars ricocheting off the meaty drums while the vocals soar above with thrilling intensity. The band utilise the raw bass and drum interaction to provide something to mosh and headbang to.

Bio: German artist Telquist aka Sebastian Eggerbauer has released his new single ‘Trash Talk’
Track: Trash Talk
Why We Like It: It’s a euphoric laid back fizzy gem that cruises effortlessly on a bubbling backdrop of indie delight. The ethereal sting on guitars pierce and vibrantly slice throughout the sticky sweltering backdrop with relentless stamina while a swirling chiming soundscape creates a youthful rush of adrenaline. The nonchalant vocals slur and drift over the sweet melody with a cool and breezy manner while the blistering soundscape blazes behind the kinetic messy chorus. It’s a fun, party-ready track boasting tight musicianship and effervescent instrumentation.
About the track Telquist said :“Trash Talk is a declaration of love to the nonsense that best friends tell each other and that remains even the lowest common denominator, if you have not seen each other for a long time. A wistful Polaroid on the one hand, over-excited, absurd and ironic, like cotton candy dissolved in Vodka-Energy on the other.”

With chiming guitars and spongy rhythmic bounce The Flitz flesh out their luscious sweet melodic tendencies with an Oasis charm. The smooth vocals caress the dainty melody with a delicate subtlety while the twinkling guitars and acoustic sensibilities warm the tracks balmy embrace. Well crafted with intricate bass grooves weaving between the soft beat and wispy hazy soundscape it’s a delightful sweet melodious number.
About the track frontman Dan Fishlock said: “Shoutout is one of my favourites I’ve ever written. It sounds like a lost 90’s Britpop track though the production that Jamie [McIntyre, of the Covasettes] has put on it means it has some proper modern indie vibes. I wrote the chorus at my old house in Hendon while sat in the kitchen, half-listening to my mate who was quitting his job over text, which I thought was quite amusing. The melody came very easily and the lyrics are about a love interest; and also moving on, from one place to another.Dancefloor Dramas has very specific lyrics about a night James [guitarist] had. We both wrote it together and the chorus is an absolute sing-along.”

Track: Miss Stress
Why We Like It: It’s a smashing alternative-rock mammoth. Relentless pulverizing drums pound against a tantalizing bassline. The slinky guitars hold a majestic yet rough persona as they soar and crash throughout the track exuding a shredding and powerful rawness especially for that scorching solo. With raspy vocals, speedy lyrics and vocal growls, Escape The Box present a punk-ish, punch in the face, rock number with a steamy element and refined outer shell.
