The trio of highlights for the latest installment of Live4ever’s New Tunes Guide this week come courtesy of Joe Perkins, Feral Brood and Du Bellows.

Joe Perkins’ obvious classic rock influences are nicely brought to the fore by Ray Staff – a man well schooled in that rock tradition – who worked on an album in AIR Studios which you can now pick up for free. Feral Brood also display an impressive contemporary sound on their ‘Into The Woods’ EP and have already shared a stage with the likes of Razorlight since forming early last year, while Du Bellows are becoming regulars on the London circuit and can count Simon Townshend amongst others as a fan.

For our New Tunes Guide highlights this week we present Davis Fetter, a Los Angeles-based musician first inspired by the embryonic 50s rock of Chuck Berry, and whose latest single was released right at the start of this year. The Mariner’s Children are included just as they announce a support slot with Willy Mason and prepare to release the ‘Sycamore’ EP, while The Areola Treat have emerged out of the tiny island of Malta with a sound that would have made a happy room-mate of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs some time around 2003.

Previous editions of the New Tunes Guide are available right here.

Snapped Ankles describe their music as a ‘collision of art-punk and noise’ but more immediately draw to mind the atmospheric hum of late seventies new wave most expertly realised by Joy Division on their debut single ‘True Ecology (shit everywhere)’, out on Ears Have Eyes on 25th March 2013.

Elsewhere, Wolf Alice invite us to take in a story all about the boredom of misspent youth, a neutered cat called Fluffy and their own genesis in just over three minutes nonsense free rock, while Derry’s Ryan Vail is joined by Katie Cosgrove for an inescapably post-XX sound on the single ‘Sunlight’.

All three bands are the highlights of this week’s New Tunes Guide.

Live4ever’s New Tunes Guide highlights start off this week with Kill For Company – a Manchester duo who have gone and invented a ‘Guibass’ for themselves and in doing so concocted a groove heavy spiral which gradually commands attention and results in a very impressive EP. Sparrow & The Workshop release their new single ‘Shock Shock’ through independent label Song By Toad Records on March 11th and can count the likes of British Sea Power and Thee Oh Sees as touring partners, while Moriaty show off a juicy, full of flavour rock sound on their new single ‘Mindsweeper’. They promise a face melting live show, and on the basis of this track, it’s hard not to believe them.

The New Tunes Guide has highlights this week from Young Jack, Talk Of Spring and The Scholars.

The Scholars have previously supported Live4ever favourites The Boxer Rebellion since forming in 2008. Last year they released the singles ‘This Heart’s Built To Break’ and ‘Wired’ and made the new track ‘Love The Thunder’ available this week. Three-piece Talk Of Spring hail from Louisville and after recording five songs with Weezer cohort Marc Mcclusky, have made a new EP available on Bandcamp. Finally, Hull’s Young Jack have recently signed to Diffusion Records and are ready to head out on a UK tour this month in support of their debut single ‘Lucio’, which is today’s featured track.

Live4ever’s New Tunes Guide has excellent highlights this week from Pickwick, Ivan & Alyosha and Guards.

Pickwick will soon release a true independent album entitled ‘Can’t Talk Medicine’. The band say they ‘upgraded from the basement and set up shop in their living room’ for its recording, while multi-instrumentalist Kory Kruckenberg served as engineer. Guards is the new project of former Cults guitarist Richie Follin and Willowz drummer Loren Humphrey who have spent the last few months out on the road honing their new material.

Seattle based Ivan & Alyosha will commence a round of touring in the spring in support of debut album ‘All The Times We Had’, which has been co-produced by engineer Chad Copelin and mixed by Jesse Lauter.

The first New Tunes Guide of 2013 – and it’s a bumper one! Highlights today include We Were Frontiers, a Leeds band who are ‘setting the local scene ablaze presenting their dark, acoustic tinged songs’ and will release the new track ‘End of the Show’ as a free download from the January 21st. Bleached features sisters Jennifer and Jessica Clavin, who will release their debut album ‘Ride Your Heart’ on April 2nd after the success of three singles last year. Farewell Jr began as a solo project for Nick Rayner. The ‘Health’ EP, created in spots as far apart as Cambridge, Ireland and Australia, is next up.
