Why do we like this?

I just arrived in London, so it only makes sense that I'd share a new track by a band from these regions.

Meet Jakil, a London-based (via Edinburgh) quintet with a catchy sound not unlike The 1975. "Istanbul" is their latest single, a floating indie rock track that features a groovy guitar lick, a smooth bridge, and brilliant falsetto.

Keep an eye out for these guys -- they'll be supporting St. Lucia at the Lexington on the 18th, followed up by a gig at The Sebright Arms in London on September 29th. And of course, you can head over to SoundCloud for more of their music.

By Jason Grishkoff on Sep 8, 2014 | You know that moment when a song comes along and just stops you in your tracks? Yeah, this one did just that. Sure, I've used a similar introduction on a number of my reviews, but believe me: this really is *that* good. Today, The Kooks released th... read more →

By Justin Lam on Oct 17, 2013 | Yessss, a brand new single from Coasts! The only disappointing thing about this is hearing that "Come A Little Closer" forms part of their Stay EP and not an album, but hey, I can always hope for that next year. Okay, now back to the single.I literal... read more →
