Hooray, hooray! It’s the first of May. A whole summer of music begins today…and we’re feeling super giddy at Hammer HQ as we embark on a heady few months of festival frenzy! With that sentiment in mind, we kick off with some fresh tropical charisma from Sao Paulo as CSS return with the new rocksteady sounds of ‘Hangover’ and Argentina’s finest post punk lasses, Las Kellies spoil us with their former Record Store Day release, ‘Erase You’. Fire records, you noble label of dreams.
With everything from Wax Idols to Wild Belle in the playlist, after a week off this week’s show was packed to the brim with new music. We hark back to the nineties with cool nonchalance of London’s latest FFIB [female fronted indie band, yah?’ Blackeye rekindling a lot of my teen angst mixtapes in one natty vid and also, indulge in the beautiful waltz trills of the new one from Just Handshakes, ‘Bright Lights’. Dazzling, indeed.
Listen again or tune in Weds, 7-9pm,
