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">

Baby Berserk was born in Amsterdam and founded by Mano Hollestelle, Eva Wijnbergen and Lieselot Elzinga. Known for their seamless blend of music and fashion, Baby Berserk captures the essence of contemporary nightlife, balancing the raw energy of a live band with the infectious pulse of club music. Their latest work offers a refreshing and invigorating boost for the mind, body, and soul.&nbsp;"Slightly Hysterical Girls With Pearls" dives headfirst into the vibrant chaos of modern culture. It’s an album that challenges the status quo, delivering tracks that range from the hypnotic allure of media-fueled entertainment to the fierce battle cries for equal rights and personal freedom. Each song is a journey through a neon-lit world where anticipation builds, emotions run high, and self-expression reigns supreme.&nbsp;Their new album encapsulates the highs and lows of life, much like a night out that starts with excitement and ends in unforgettable memories. From the seductive grooves of "Entertainment" that draw you into a world of televised fantasies, to the raw, defiant energy of "Piggy Piggy," which champions the fight for freedom and equality, Baby Berserk crafts a soundscape that is as thought-provoking as it is dance-inducing.&nbsp;"Slightly Hysterical Girls With Pearls" isn’t just an album; it’s a statement. It’s about embracing who you are, kicking out the negativity, and finding power in the primal urge to live life on your own terms. With a sound that mixes slow, groovy beats with sharp, slithering synths and a relentless rhythm, Baby Berserk invites you to lose yourself in the music and emerge stronger, more vibrant, and unapologetically yourself.&nbsp;Prepare for an album that’s as stylish and rebellious as the band itself—a soundtrack for those ready to take on the world with pearls around their necks and fire in their hearts. Following on the critically acclaimed singles ‘What I Mean’ (2020) Baby Berserk’s highly anticipated new album is now finally about to see the light. Sonically designed for gritty rock venues as well as dance clubs, Mano’s lush compositions smoothly intertwine with the highly associative lyrics written by Lieselot.

Milkweed describe their sound as slacker-trad, which is both true and&nbsp;somehow insufficient. For three years Milkweed have refined a formula –&nbsp;taking existing source material (a&nbsp; folklore journal, a book on Welsh&nbsp;myths, another on bronze age human remains and most recently Thomas&nbsp;Kinsella’s masterfully stark translation of the Táin Bó Cúailnge), cutting&nbsp;up the words and&nbsp; feeding them through a woodchipper of lo-fi production&nbsp;and experimental folk music.&nbsp;&nbsp; On the face of it their musical concerns are transatlantic – they follow&nbsp;the rich creative line that runs between British traditional music and the&nbsp;songs and tunes of the eastern United States. In reality their scope is&nbsp;global, and rooted in deep time, with influences from prehistory bleeding&nbsp;into a troubled and troubling modern era. As a result their music doesn’t&nbsp;sit easily anywhere, but ricochets between bewitching folk music and&nbsp;disconcerting hauntological experimentation.

For three decades, The&nbsp;Wildhearts&nbsp;have remained at the forefront of the UK rock scene; through incendiary, festival-topping live shows and fast-lane frolics, they have cemented their reputation as one of the finest, most prolific, most notorious outfit’s their homeland has produced – and now they’re back with a brand new studio album, their first for&nbsp;Snakefarm!&nbsp; Titled ‘Satanic Rites of The&nbsp;Wildhearts’ and produced / mixed by Jim Pinder and Carl Bown (Sleep Token / Bullet For My Valentine / While She Sleeps), the record is conceived – musically, visually and in terms of spirit and intent – as a belated 10-track follow-up to their classic debut, ‘Earth vs The&nbsp;Wildhearts’ (1993).&nbsp;
