Holiday Ghosts are back with their second LP “West Bay Playroom”, the follow-up to their acclaimed self-titled debut album from 2017. Originally starting out as a solo project from Sam Stacpoole the band evolved into a partnership with Katja Rackin, before turning into a full band with the debut album – showcasing a primitive rock ’n’ roll sound that’s been compared to The Modern Lovers and The Velvet Underground alongside current garage rock acts, and praised by the likes of The FADER, Stereogum, BrooklynVegan and KEXP. For West Bay Playroom the band’s refined their sound, with Stacpoole and Rackin being joined by Ryan Cleave on bass and Charlie Fairbairnon on guitar, offering a cleaner and more focused set of songs while breaking new ground and experimenting with influences from country, blues, spaghetti western soundtracks and more.

Born in Bristol to musical parents Pearl Love grew up surrounded by sound and immersed in a creative lifestyle, attending her first gig at the tender age of 13 days old, strapped to her mum as she played the trumpet. Pearl’s music is a key and undivided part of her identity. Through her honest song writing and delicate vocals Pearl embraces the beauty found in vulnerability and invites her listeners to experience the world as she sees it.

Inspired by artists such as Lucy Rose and Regina Spektor, Pearl presents her audiences with an emotive and authentic performance every time.

Punk Slime Recordings are proud to present Holiday Ghosts and their self-titled debut album, which was released on September 22nd 2017, on vinyl and digitally. Holiday Ghosts are based in Falmouth on the south coast of England and originally started out as the solo project of Sam Stacpoole of The Black Tambourines, with the rest of the line-up evolving since 2012.

Holiday Ghosts is now a full collaboration between Sam and girlfriend Katja Rackin, also featuring various members of The Red Cords, The Golden Dregs and William Weak, playing a stripped back and primitive style of rock n roll, with influences from acts such as Modern Lovers, The Clean, Violent Femmes and The Velvet Underground.

The debut LP Holiday Ghosts showcases a mix of tracks written by Sam Stacpoole, Katja Racking and Charlie Murphy (also of The Red Cords, Freak Genes, Murph & The Gazorpos). It was recorded over two years at Troubador Studio in Falmouth on 8 track quarter inch tape and also features Ben Woods on bass. The album steps away from today’s heavy, fuzzed out guitar riffs and drones, and instead shows a leaner, snappier and more playful sound.

The BLACK TAMBOURINES – ” L.A “

Falmouth’s The Black Tambourines are cruising down the face of Britain’s DIY music scene, board-shorts to the wind and eyes raw with salt. Along with The Magic Gang they’re showing how doing it yourself can make it pay in 2015. They dropped their self-titled LP back in 2013 via Art Is Hard and the follow up to that effort has finally landed. Although they’ve cleaned up some of the scuffed edges since that debut, the asphalt melting abandon has been simmered down to a thick syrup. There are few bands in the country making music as joyful as this.

Lost Dawn – Lost Dawn  self titled debut album When’s it out? April 13th
Falmouth’s glam-rock DIYers follow their live LP split with fellow Cornish bands The Black Tambourines and The Red Cords with their studio debut. Written and recorded by Lost Dawn. From the self-titled debut album, on Easy Action Records

Lost Dawn have carved themselves into a unique bracket. Setting out on the road with swaggering blues-rock, the duo developed a tight yet still raw and sharp rhythm structure from years of fostering influences they wore on their sleeves. Now burning with driven glam-rock that touches on most sub-genres in the process, Lost’s Dawn’s pop sculptures are as boastful as they are fret by devilish paranoia.

While Blues, Psych, Garage, even 70s Pop mould their sound, from ‘Robert’s Song‘, through ‘Count On Me‘ and even the erratic nature of ‘Manchild‘ their’s a brooding hook under each. Their ability to wear their influences without sounding artificial is testament to a group that have now organically drawn their own template.
