Essex’s self-styled ‘smallest band in the world’ Ghost Station have released their new single ‘Cast Away’ on all download/streaming platforms. An infectious 3 minutes of beachy guitar pop, the new track showcases a knack for marrying sun-kissed harmonies to crunchy guitar sounds.
“The title was taken from the Tom Hanks film which had been on TV the night before I wrote the song, so desert island living was kind of resonating at the time,” explains Ghost Station main man and songwriter Matt Phillips. “It’s a reaction to the things that make up our daily routines – stuck on commuting trains, remembering passwords and boring bosses. I should point out that I’d be a useless companion on a desert island, as I don’t even like getting sand in my shoes on holiday!”.
Led by Phillips sublime songwriting skills (honed over almost two decades in music), Ghost Station could easily be described as a British Weezer or a 21st-century update of The La’s sunny indie-pop. Cast Away follows press acclaim for their previous singles Head For The Sun and Tear It Up, with The Sun hailing their “catchy melodies and jangly guitars” and interview coverage from Gig Slutz and Music Muso.

Dar.Ra – Rock Steady
Dar.Ra scores cinematic gold in this first-person hyperactive sonic blitz of a video for his new track titled ‘Rock Steady’. The track itself is something that must be listened to. Again and again. The adrenalin in the hook is like a drug that will keep you up for days. The video, however, adds layers to each beat in such a unique way as to make you wish this was a full movie. Think ‘Hardcore Henry‘ vs #indie gold. Pure genius!

Dirty Sister – Middle Class Busker
‘Middle Class Busker’ follows the life of a fictional character working in a white-collar job with a somewhat warped dream of “making it” in the music industry. This song touches upon his middle-class lifestyle, working-class swagger and his naive grip on reality. Dirty Sister had a good giggle writing this track, but what was the end result of our busker?
About Dirty Sister
Dirty Sister is an Anglo-Cypriot London duo that met through a common dislike of sharing a stage with more than one person at a time. They use guitars, loops, pads, synths and even a Greek bouzouki to tell you exactly how they feel about reality TV, their friend’s partner and middle-class buskers.LINKS:

Make-Up/ Costume : Carmel Snow carmelsnow.comAbout Bakery
Bakery is a genre bending, tripped out, Lo-fi experience. Psychedelic landscapes evolve with golden waves of electronica, trip-hop and brain melting. An elongated, circulating current of energy flow marks each stanza expanding in layers and layers of formulaic chaos…Immerse yourself in the cool blues, the dynamic purples, the voltaic vocals, the power-driven guitar licks. Each track is a different microcosm to let your mind explore. Sun shining, rain pouring, wind twirling, they’ve baked up something atmospheric just for you.
Bakery is an experiment. genre-bending, hip/trip-hop, psychedelic, avant-garde, Lo-fi. soul. Combining Art, Music, and Mixed Media.
We feel and hear in colors
We are vibes, delegating with different tribes.
