Our Music Editor talks us through some of the best tunes to have come out of Nottingham recently...
Liam Bailey - Love They Neighbour
A timely tune from the singer with a voice so velvety soft, you want to make a suit from it and wear it forever.
Saint Raymond - Oh Brother
A newy but an oldy. An outtake from his debut album put out on New Year’s day, a reminder of SR’s soaring indie rock ahead of new releases later in 2017.
Sleaford Mods - BHS
Grot-hoppers remind us of how grim everything really is with this Philip Green-baiting video ahead of their new album, their first for Rough Trade, English Tapas.
Relik - Status Quo
Quite possibly not a tribute to the king of the down-stroke, Rick Parfitt.
Anomic Soul - Bullets Bombs & Ice Cream
With shades of Depeche Mode and New Order, this groovy electro track is raising money for the Syria Crisis Appeal (Save The Children), so if you’ve got a quid to spare you know what to do…
Homesick - Step Out
Charmingly awkward video from these pop-punk upstarts.
Paul Walker - Muhammad Ali
Bluesy slide-guitar tribute to the late, great activist who was also a bit handy.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
