As another month draws to a close, this week’s New Tunes Guide brings together the best of the cutting edge tracks which Live4ever has presented to you during October. Reacquaint yourself with our carefully selected highlights, and catch up with any hidden gems you might have missed!
Best Friends unveiled the video for ‘Nosebleeds’ during October, which we described as a toe-tappingly catchy number and which forms a part of the ‘Happy Anniversary’ single that is out now through Art Is Hard Records. Hertfordshire based six-piece Suburban Dirts, meanwhile, impressed us with the Bob Dylan inspired track ‘Lost In Transcription’ – a highlight on October 12th. The song is taken from their second album, released on November 18th.
