FOALS · 2001

Beck Pete – Vertigo

Posted on October 28, 2019 by Indietronica Staff

Beck Pete by Julia Abner

Introducing you to Beck Pete.

A singer/songwriter dedicated to “love, feelings, self-awareness, and telling stories about those things”, this lady is willing to take risks, and the result is paying dividends.

After waking up and realising that she had been making decisions out of fear, Beck Pete quit her job and started planning an Indiegogo campaign to complete her first-ever solo project (which she successfully funded), cut all of her hair off, and moved to Los Angeles. The result, some three years later, is a beautifully composed five-track EP called ‘Muse’, that considers who Beck Pete is.

Sounds like: Alev Lenz, Mara Simpson, Glory Daze

10 O’Clock Chemical – Crucify

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Indietronica Staff

10 O'Clock Chemical

10 O’Clock Chemical share anthemic new single, ‘Crucify’, a call to arms to those survivors and perpetrators of abuse.

10 O’Clock Chemical is the creative vision of songwriter, vocalist and multi instrumentalist Rhys Oakes, who started writing songs in his bedroom as a teenager in his native Stoke on Trent. He later teamed up with local musicians guitarist Jack Ellis, and electronic whizzkid Mark Crawford. A fourth member, a mysterious cyber entity called Zed, remains all but invisible, and carries out administrative duties for the band and makes the odd cameo appearance.

Carving their own “gritpop” sound, the band create hook-laden pop songs with a dark and gritty electronic rock edge.

Sounds like: Kasabian, Muse, Depeche Mode, Prodigy, APRE

Foals – What Went Down

Posted on June 16, 2015 by Indietronica Staff

Foals – What Went Down

Foals are back, after teaming up with producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Florence + The Machine, Jessie Ware, Mumford & Sons) to release their fourth album, ‘What Went Down’.

The Oxford five-piece retreated to the South of France to record in a rural 19th-century mill. The result is a primal, intense, sometimes harrowing album of extremes.

Lyrically, Philippakis deals with themes around cultural identity, generational anxiety, cynicism, pessimism and heartbreak; “I wanted to tap into my inner madman and feel like I was channeling some sort of fevered creature”.

Watch the video for the lead single below:

The album will be released on 28 August.

Sounds like: The Black Keys, Muse, The Maccabees, The Griswolds, Coasts
