It’s hard to tell if Smoke intend their name as a noun or a verb, but either one feels appropriate. They claim to be influenced by Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, and Ornette Coleman; that’s accurate, but doesn’t tell the full story. What’s really impressive is their ability to combine the heavy sounds of the first two with the freewheeling weightlessness of the latter two. After taking a break for a couple years, the group has recently returned, ready to spread their smog all over Brisbane and its surrounding environs once more. Set the time machine dial for 1969.

The Band OSCA had what would be considered a pretty good 2014 – they released their debut “EP Blood” which saw a well-deserved amount of praise on tons of blogs, and they’ve made their return in 2015 with the announcement of a new single ‘Smoke’. The B-side to that song is ‘Sleeptalk’, Differing from the trio’s previous releases in that its production is much more complex and layered, its reminiscent of Kodaline at their best and proves once again that there are huge things in store for them. In a press release, frontman Jack Kenworthy said that ‘Sleeptalk‘ is “about taking risks and not being afraid of feeling naive to what the future may bring”.

Blossoms at the Glasgow O2 ABC 12th Dec 2014, “Manchester’s Blossoms offer a lighter take on psychedelia, one that’s steeped in classic British pop songwriting
“Not content with being lumped in with Manc music’s current psych revival, This Stockport five-piece Blossoms have opted to invent their very own sub-genre: Ethereal Nostalgic Sonance Psyche-pop riffs, superb vocal melodies, a film noir meets 60s aesthetic, a range of audible references from Arctic Monkeys via Abba to The Doors – Blossoms are Stockport’s newest (and arguably finest) new musical export.”
