Katoomba (Live @ Anarchy)

by Giant Walker

Hey, we're Giant Walker and this is a single from our upcoming Live album which is due to be released on the 7th June! We wanted to celebrate our debut album, 'All In Good Time', and so we decided that a live recording of the album in the format of one of our live shows would be super cool :-)

Optophobia

by Giant Walker

Hey, we're Giant Walker - a Heavy Progressive Rock band from Newcastle, UK. ‘Optophobia’ is a fear of opening your eyes and the lyrics of the song are inspired, both by this, but also by the truth that our vision is merely our brain’s best guess of the world around us. We hope you dig it!!

Something in the Water

by Chapter and Verse

Hello! Recorded from our bedrooms, ‘Something in the Water’ is the result of us really trying to push our artistic boundaries. Whilst it’s been tough for many people, the pandemic gave us the time to reevaluate and in a certain sense to rediscover what we love about being a band.

Ghost

by I, The Lion

Yo! We are I, The Lion, a post-punk trio hailing from Gloucestershire. This is our new single Ghost, it's a pretty personal one for us and a feeling shared by so many people out there all about working so hard for something, and still be overlooked when it counts. So we vented that through riffs...
