Fixers // Amsterdam

Oxfordshire's Fixers are probably the first thing to come up if you typed "Positive dreamy" or "How I would most like to wake up" into Google. Or maybe "What would it sound like if 'Smile' era Brian Wilson recorded Simple Minds' Don't You?".

Amsterdam is a beautiful, expansive track, and the filmic video only adds to it's wonder. The band will be alongside fellow No Action favourites Get People and Cheatahs at Young and Lost Club's Christmas do in a few weeks, and watch for more dates in what is likely to be a big 2011 for them.

Local favourites // Colours

London four-some Colours produce songs draped with claustrophobic reverb yet filled with vibrant melody, making for a thrilling sonic experience. While their song-naming can only be described as satisfactory (Lost Youth, The Lost Hour, Losers), there's much to love in their powerful three minute thrash.

Having recently released their debut 7" on Sleep All Day Records, the band are playing a series of London dates (including a support slot with No Action favourites Spectrals at Cargo) before the July 27th release of a split EP on Marshall Teller Records alongside Not Cool, Cheatahs and Dignan Porch.
