Social satirists The Be Positives release self-titled debut with new single ‘She’s The Girl’
THE BE POSITIVES is a northern conundrum. Consisting of Mike Seal (Guitar, Piano & Vocals), Rob Hatton (Bass & Vocals), Simon Mayne (Lead Guitar & Vocals) and Callum Darley (Drums & Vocals), they were splayed across Merseyside to Sheffield, all sharing an affinity for McCartney, Dylan, Kinks and Nick Lowe, and later, converging on Manchester, they hankered for gigging at grotty pubs across the city. Now united, the four-piece invoke mad-pop affirmation through berserk instrumentation laced with smart lyricism.

Lesito originally produced the beat and both LesitoXChelsea worked with Manny Park (Grammy-nominated producer cred: Travis Scott, Ariane Grande, Frank Ocean) to finalise the track.
Ecstatic Vision – ‘For the Masses’
“Ecstatic Vision’s brand of heavy psych draws from Hawkwind, Leaf Hound, Black Sabbath, and Amon Düül II…roaring organs, screaming guitars, and the occasional squawking saxophone seem always to be preparing for another narcotic liftoff.” – Pitchfork
Philadelphia heavy psych band Ecstatic Vision will release its new album, ‘For the Masses’, on September 20 via new label home Heavy Psych Sounds. Recorded in Philadelphia at Retro City Studios with Joe Boldizar and mixed/mastered by Tim Green (Earthless, Sebadoh, The Melvins) in Grass Valley, CA, Ecstatic Vision’s critically-celebrated, fuzzed-out sound has been sculpted into a Hi-Fi psychedelic wonderland on the new LP.
CITY MOUTH Premieres Dance-Pop Smash “For a Second”
Chicagoland pop-rock sextet City Mouth has quickly followed up their glittering Super Nintendo-inspired visual for “Sanity for Summer” with another track in part produced by Marc Mcclusky (Weezer, Motion City Soundtrack). “For a Second” leans further into the band’s experiments with electronica and pop adventurism, while maintaining the infectious blend of heart-on-sleeve mentality and melody that’s earned fans across the Midwest and beyond.
Apollo Brown “Sincerely Detroit” // Upcoming Album feat. 50+ Detroit Artists
