In the last few years, i can hardly find time to listen new albums & singles releases.
From time to time, i'm trying to check what's new, who are the most important new bands and if i find anything interesting for me, to start collecting their records.
Usually i have few places for finding new records but one my must favourite sites is blog called INDIE MUSIC PICKS, place that i often visit because there are always great recommendations about latest hot indie music bands, videos & releases.
If you are interested in new indie releases, i highly reccomend INDIE MUSIC PICKS, link here:

Notes :
Late 80's indie band from Gloucester UK, released three singles and one
album ''Hole'' in 1988. Band members were Lawrence Carrington Windo
(vocals), Ian Dench (guitar), Tim Harvey (bass) and Shane Young (drums).

Bedazzled and released three singles and album for Columbia Records.

Great news for fans of early 90's indie/baggy band Crystal Trip. Before few weeks they released two new records: ''Somewhere EP'' and album ''The Crystal Trip'', both for Emotional Clive Records.
''Somewhere EP'' have 6 tracks, it's compilation of ''Elevate'' single and contains two unreleased tracks before ''Somewhere'' and ''Come Down Heavy''.
''The Crystal Trip'' album have 12 tracks and includes all tracks from mini LP ''Crystal Trip'' released in 1993, plus 4 unreleased tracks before: ''Senseless'', ''Happiness'', ''What Can I Say'' and ''Just Can't Control''.
Amazing material from one of my favourite early 90's bands, both records are available on CD and from all digital platforms: Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal etc.
They also released two new videos for ''Somewhere'' and ''Senseless'', there are two video versions for both songs.
Crystal Trip were a four-piece formed in 1990 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire,
consisting of Colin Williams vocals and guitar, Emma Walker keyboards,
Mike Groves bass and Toby Limbrick drums. Often to be seen showing off
their guitar and keyboard driven indie pop around there and Bedford,
they nicely bridged the gap between the Smiths, New Order, the Stone
Roses and Britpop in the London venues ultimately “clocking in”,
according to the NME, “somewhere between Hüsker Dü and Radiohead”.
Managed by indie “face” and impresario Paul Dennis the band were also
influenced by the emerging club scene being one of the first bands to
release club orientated remixes of indie jangle receiving favourable
reviews from Mick Mercer, Steve Lamacq and Simon Williams in the music
press. They released 2 videos back then one starring Keith Allen and
another on Seagull Records directed by Andy Pulver.
