Reviewer Reviews...New Band Recommendations No.2

Temples
Who Are Temples?
Temples are a band from Kettering(yes, Kettering), whose music combines psychedelic and electronic vibes, to create a unique and interesting sound, which could have walked right out of the 60s. Not too unlike Tame Impala, it is the band's weirdness which will attract a major label-major labels love weird. Even Johnny Marr likes them, tweeting about Shelter Song. That's high praise indeed.

What Do They Sound Like?
As I previously said, the band sound like Tame Impala, and I really like their 60s sound. Debut single 'Shelter Song' epitomises this, and I recommend you check it out.

Where Can I Get Their Stuff?
The four piece are signed to Heavenly, who certainly have got quite a rooster of artist, including Stealing Sheep and Toy. You can buy 'Shelter Song' on iTunes right now, in fact.


Irish sterotyping or what
Soak
Who The Hell Is Soak?
Soak is a singer songwriter from Derry, Northern Ireland. Yes, another bloody singer songwriter. However, unlike many of her compatriots(I'm talking to you Kyla La Grange), Soak succeds in creating a mellow and calming sound. She's also only 16, so has bags of potential.

What Does She Sound Like?
Her sound is definately a mellow and calming one. I would describe it as music to go to sleep to. Her music is very stripped down, in some case just her and a guitar. I quite like this honest approach, but I fear she will not be heard amongst all the other singer songwriters out there.

Where Can I Get Her Stuff?
She has released an EP called Sea Creatures which is availiable on iTunes
