Sydney duo L.U.V are today unveiling their brand new single and video ‘You’ll Never Let Me Go’ a super sweet indie pop gem and an ideal introduction to the talented songwriters.

L.U.V is comprised of sisters Maya and Vivi Mohan, aged twenty and seventeen respectively. The pair were born in Sydney before relocating to their parents’ boutique pepper farm in central South East Queensland as children.

The isolated surrounds of the farmhouse (far beyond the reach of the internet and with) worked as a catalyst for their musical discovery. The siblings passed the time sifting through their parents’ record collection to discover The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and U2 which sparked their passion for music.

Having released two previous singles ‘Take Me To The Sea’ and ‘I Can Be The Answer’, ‘You’ll Never Let Me Go’ sees L.U.V build on from their indie pop foundations to craft their most impressive work yet, check it out and if you like what you’re hearing pop by L.U.V’s Facebook page for more info on upcoming shows and releases.

Both are trained in piano from the age of six, however, it wasn’t until their late teens that Maya and Vivi began collaborating on original music together to form L.U.V. Not unlike that of other renowned sister duo Tegan & Sara – L.U.V share singing duties, taking turns to finish each other’s songs to ethereal effect.
Hitherto, L.U.V have released two previous singles, ‘Take Me To The Sea’ and ‘I Can Be The Answer’, a pair of highly ear-worming indie-pop songs with an emphasis on melody and clever lyrical content (perhaps unsurprising considering their mother is a published poet).
Their latest release ‘You’ll Never Let Me Go’ is a summery affair destined to warm your bones this winter. L.U.V have plans to announce live dates later in 2016.

Hot off the heels of support slots with Swim Deep, The Libertines and FFS, Glasgow group Catholic Action have shared new track ‘L.U.V’.

Catholic Action are a product of Glasgow’s famously fertile music scene but have won fans across the UK. After a run of well received gigs in their hometown the group are ready to release their forthcoming debut release L.U.V.

The four-piece band are centered around vocalist and guitarist Chris McCrory – already known for being the drummer in Casual Sex, another of Glasgow’s leading musical lights.

McCrory, only 24, became a full-time producer and recording engineer straight from school after establishing his own studio. While helping many of the artists in Glasgow’s burgeoning DIY scene, McCrory is also an exceptional songwriter in his own right and his group quickly became the most talked about in town.

Catholic Action were formed in 2014 by McCrory alongside Jamie Dubber on bass and Ryan Clark on drums. Andrew Macpherson later joined as lead guitarist to add an extra punch to the group’s own brand of glam noise rock. The group were personally invited by Alex Kapranos to support FFS at their sold-out show at the Barrowland Ballroom last August. Just days later, Carl Barat was in touch to ask them to open for The Libertines when they played Glasgow’s Academy the following month – an invitation to open on Swim Deep’s UK tour in October 2015 followed.

L.U.V. was recorded at the Green Door Studio in Glasgow and produced by Sam Smith (Casual Sex, Mother and the Addicts). Catholic Action will perform live at:

24 Feb The Dome, London (NME Awards w/ Swim Deep)
29 March Fallow, Manchester
30 March Sebright Arms, London
31 March Nice N Sleazy, Glasgow
1 April Underdog, Aberdeen
30 April Live at Leeds festival
20 May The Great Escape Festival

As punchy and jagged as those they’ve shared stages with, it’s a barbed introduction to their inner-city indie-rock. Taken from a debut release on Luv Luv Luv Records,

‘L.U.V’ is released on March 18th – both before and after, they’re racking up more road miles,
