CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW LIVE4EVER’S SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR THE PICK OF THE WEEK FROM Heavy Lungs AND ALL OUR FAVOURITE NEW TRACKS.

Heavy Lungs have announced their signing to Alcopop! Records.

The band played a free show at Old Blue Last in London earlier this week to mark the news, and have also released a new single entitled Dancing Man and its official video directed by Clump Collective.




“They are absolutely extraordinary and have made a myriad of amazing videos,” they said.

Coach Party have confirmed the details of their debut album Killjoy.

Following on from the EPs Party Food, After Party and last year’s Nothing Is Real, the band’s first full length will be out via Chess Club Records on September 8th.

Jess Eastwood has said the new single is about, ‘acting out against people who are trying to help’.

Alex Lahey‘s new single The Sky Is Melting is streaming online ahead of the release of The Answer Is Always Yes on May 19th.

“I went to the desert and did a bunch of edibles and a wrote a song about it,” Lahey said.

“Definitely not the first person in the world to do it. But maybe it’s the first song to reference both Michael Bolton and an unnamed verified Air BnB host in the same verse. I’ve made two records doing it all by myself and now I’ve proved to myself that I can do it.”

Alison Goldfrapp has shared her Love Invention album title-track – ‘inspired by the idea of a machine or pill that gives you a feeling of complete euphoria’:

“It’s also inspired by the quick-fix self-improvement culture you particularly find on social media that I find slightly humorous. I’m slightly cynical of it but fascinated by it as well.”

European tour dates are set to coincide with the album’s release, starting at Outernet in London on May 8th ahead of an appearance on The Park Stage at Glastonbury in June.

The Hives have set their new studio record The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons for release on August 11th.

The announcement has come with the lead track Bogus Operandi and a message from Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist which reads:

“There’s no maturity or anything like that bullshit, because who the fuck wants mature rock’n’roll? That’s always where people go wrong, I feel. ‘It’s like rock’n’roll but adult,’ nobody wants that! That’s literally taking the good shit out of it. Rock’n’roll can’t grow up, it is a perpetual teenager and this album feels exactly like that, which it’s all down to our excitement – and you can’t fake that shit.”
