Yard Act Return With An Electro Ode To Their Own Stage Attire (and it's really, really good!)

As we heavily pushed (and pushed) and featured Yard Act with an exclusive of their debut album, The Overload, it is only with good conscience that we shout loudly about their new single, 'The Trench Coat Museum'. Luckily, and unsurprisingly, it's bloody excellent.

It was a...

The Last Dinner Party Serve Delicious Debut Single.

IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THESE EARS CAN STILL HEAR A #TUNE when stumbling upon one. The Last Dinner Party's most excellent debut single 'Nothing Matters' popped up randomly on my streaming platform of choice and, upon doing a little research doesn't seem like these ears are exactly taste making after all - their trajectory is already well on its way! I call this exercise of releasing this kind of debut single "to pull a Wet Leg" - that doesn't mean it shares anything more with Wet Leg than an...
