Buzz Track: Let Go
We are addicted to the brand new song Let Go by alt act Coasts. Conceived in 2011 in the crypt of a church, the Bristol-born 5 piece have resolutely resisted the overtures of the major record companies and embarked on a unique and independent path. Non stop touring has built a quickly growing group of fans across the country with Heaven in London already booked for their next London show in November – before they have received any mainstream media support. The band has upcoming performances in Leeds (Brudenell Social Club), Liverpool (East Village Arts Club), London (Heaven w/ Racing Glaciers), Birmingham (The Institute w/ Racing Glaciers), and Glasgow (Broadcast). Definitely an artist to watch.

Buzz Track: King Of Love
The Yells is a NYC rock group founded in 2014 by four delinquent friends, so jaded from what the ‘in’ thing might be, that this gang of four have come up with something undeniably cool; toasting to Queens of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys and Portishead on their quick rise through NYC’s toughest rooms. Recorded by Ted Comerford and mixed by Mitch Easter, this gang of four, featuring Johnny on guitars, Matteo on bass, Jamie on the drums and AV on vocals, has a sound that has been compared to that of a large aircraft speeding far too close to the ground. The Yells is an artist to watch.
