They grow ‘em younger in the UK and the list of teenage Brits on the radar continues to expand. Rory Wynne is from around Manchester and is all of 14. “Post Party Confusion” is fun, raw and unique with strong lyrics. It shows that Rory has major potential. According to BBC 6 Music host Tom Robinson (yes the hit-making Tom Robinson of yesteryear), Rory is “a true rock and roll poet”. Rory played everything on this recording and manages himself. He’s got a bunch of songs recorded and is definitely worth keeping an eye and ear on. By Bruce Rave

The fabulous Duly Noted Records, home to releases from IYES and The Night IV, debut their newest signing Black Honey and the band’s track for “Sleep Forever”. For the debut song, a demo, BH cast to a nostalgia-coasting sheet of wistful guitar strums and low touch rhythms pinpoint evocative and effective vocal lines. “Sleep Forever” is a very exceptional first track.

“Say Yes To Ewans” is excerpted here from Bristol UK artist Oliver Wilde’s upcoming Red Tide Opal LP. An able blend of romantic shoegaze-y themes and space-zone guitar textures that sound freshly wrested from the 24th Century, “Say Yes To Ewans” is equally and expertly rhythmic and tuneful and unlike anything out right now. We absolutely love “Say Yes To Ewans”. Howling Owl Records is the label to know for the July 28th release of Red Tide Opal.
