Alex G has announced a new show at Glasgow&#39;s legendary Barrowland Ballroom later this year. Pennsylvania&#39;s preeminent master of melodic nostalgia and indie rock experimentation Alex Giannascoli and his long-serving band of brothers return to the city on Mon 17 Nov for their biggest Scottish live show to date, swiftly following the announcement of long-awaited new album Headlights, due for release on 18 July. <a href="undefined">In the meantime, Alex has previewed the first track from his new album</a>, entitled Afterlife. Aided by an irresistible mandolin-heavy hook, the song plays to the melodic strengths of previous records God Save The Animals, House of Sugar and in particular, 2017&#39;s Rocket, yet hints at new narrative direction and perhaps the most dextrous and most refined production to date. It&#39;s a bittersweet little banger which more than justifies the excited anticipation of this new record, perfectly-placed to come out right in the heart of summer.Pre-sale for the Barrowlands show starts on Thu 19 June @ 10amSign up <a href="undefined">HERE</a><a href="undefined"></a><a href="undefined">Check out the video for new single &#39;Afterlife&#39; below: </a><div class="video-container">

The Hug and Pint

After a break from touring and performing, Liverpool-based trio Alpha Male Tea Party are back with new single Battle Crab, out now via Big Scary Monsters. Having been the vanguard of the UK’s math and progressive rock scenes, the band have taken their 5 year absence to explore striking new territory and for the first time, vocals and lyrics play a central role. Driven by their signature mix of heavy riffs and polyrhythmic grooves, the surprise new track dissects male performative aggression, viscerally telling the tale of a night out that took a turn for the worst, lapsed into unwarranted violence, when all you had planned was a quiet pint while grooving to 10CC. “Battle Crab is the anxious person’s view of nightlife violence and trying not to surround yourselves with friends who only want validation through starting fights,” says bassist Ben Griffiths. “It’s about saying ‘Leave me alone, I just want to see if the jukebox has any Steely Dan.”
