The latest edition of Live4ever’s New Tunes Guide arrives this week armed with highlights from The Drowning Men and Lionhall.
The Drowning Men will introduce themselves to British audiences with the release of their UK debut ‘All Of The Unknown’ on Monday (August 19th). The Californians are more familiar to music lovers in their homeland, having already unleashed the ‘Kill The Matador’ EP and debut album ‘Beheading Of The Songbird’ Stateside in 2007 and 2009 respectively.
A subtle ambiance permeates Lionhall‘s new single ‘Soldiers’, due for release on August 26th. The track follows the band’s debut EP debut ‘Rhizomes’, and has been supported with various festival appearances during the summer, while a date behind Victories at Sea at the Think Tank in Newcastle is booked for September 13th.
These and eight other picks of the week can be found by scrolling through our latest collection, and you can catch up with all our previous editions by clicking on the New Tunes Guide logo below.

“Inspired by 90s indie rock legends such as Pavement and Dinosaur Jr., Birmingham three-piece Heavy Waves offer their latest single ‘No Good’. “I was just chilling at home at 5am in a mess of fags and empty coca cola bottles,” says frontman Luke Morgan. ‘I had been listening to lots of Dinosaur Jr. and Nirvana and as a band we’re really influenced by Yuck and My Bloody Valentine and stuff, so I was just channelling all that into it. We wanted to write some bigger more anthemic songs, but in a Heavy Waves way.'”
