Watch – ‘Total Euphoria’
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Caroline but after listening to Total euphoria she’s already starting to grow on me. I enjoy watching the music videos, especially when they’re done in video diary style as it’s more about Caroline the person in her natural bliss

Nature TV – ‘Meds’
Not heard much from these guys since Always It Goes so I am looking forward to checking out what they’ve been doing lately, and their record, ‘Meds’, sounds really great. Though it’s only a small EP the songs are worth a listen to.
SKINNY LISTER – Release “Yorkshire Belle” Single from ‘Songs From The Yonder’ – LP out 9th May
Watch – ‘Yorkshire Belle’
Even though it’s a short song I enjoy the repetitive rhythm as it’s like a steady hook and the drum beat you tap to. The lyrics are like a cross between a poem and storytelling, and the part that it’s about a boat is somewhat interesting. Nonetheless Yorkshire Belle is upbeat
