The first New Tunes Guide of the month comes with highlights Fehm and another chance to win a pair of ei8htball earphones.

Fehm arrive out of Leeds with a sound not too far away from their early nineties Loiner fore-bearers Cud. This week’s highlight  ‘Eyes Full’ is the second track taken from their debut EP ‘Animal Skin’ which was launched last week at The Waiting Room, Stoke Newington. The band are back home for Live At Leeds today (May 2nd).

There are six picks of the week in total to be found by scrolling through our latest collection. Find out much more about this week’s featured artists by clicking on their individual names, and you can catch up with all our previous editions direct through the New Tunes Guide logo above.

To celebrate the start of another month of great music, the Live4ever Ezine is very excited to partner with Manchester’s Ei8htball to offer one lucky reader a new pair of their EX811 in-earphones! Once you’ve been through this week’s tracks, check out all the competition details below.

It’s all about the sound really.

The skitter of a drum machine, the romance of the 808 kicking “Manchester” into life, the howling feedback that links The Who to Jesus And the Mary Chain…to Napalm Death, the jangle that stretches from the Beatles to Arctic Monkeys, the soul groove that pulls back from Alex Turner’s Sheffield lads to Marvin Gaye and rebounds to Robin Thicke.

What you need is something that can handle all of those sounds. Something that will cope with whatever mood you’re in. Something that will be true to what you need to hear.

ei8htball. It’s all in your head.
