Valeras – Let Me Go

Reading-based duo, Valeras, have been building up a reputation with a stream of critically acclaimed singles including this one that also features on their new four-track EP Tell Me Now.

It’s a great piece of indie rock with a pop punk feel and an uplifting singalong anthemic chorus. They will be live at Sub 89 on Wednesday, November 24, and, if you fancy a vinyl copy of the EP, the band will be doing a special ‘in store’ at Wokingham’s Beyond the Download record store on Saturday, November 27 – https://www.facebook.com/valerasband

Mordecai Smyth – Sinister Cyclist

Mordecai Smyth was the first artist to sign to Wokingham-based Mega Dodo Records in 2011, and his first album, Sticky Tape and Rust, was released in the same year. It has just been re-issued as a special 10th anniversary two CD set with 32 bonus tracks.

The album has a wonderful 60s psych pop feel with clever lyrics that make you smile such as this song about a Sinister Cyclist dressed in black, casting spells.

Mordecai has a new album coming in next year. https://www.facebook.com/stickytapeandrust/

Hoopy Frood – Horse with No Name

Check out the video of this song filmed in Reading. It’s taken from this local five-piece ‘uke pop’ band’s new album Everyday Adventures – https://www.facebook.com/rocketkings
