Leadboots – Someplace Better

Leadboots - Someplace Better

What if Johnny Cash was the singer for a Brit-pop revival? A mash up of many influences from Tears for Fears to The Black Keys.

The forthcoming EP from LeadBoots, Someplace Better, follows up on 2020’s well received The Call of the Void by doubling down on the band’s refusal to conform fully to any singular genre. Retaining their focus on hooks and melody, the band manages to stitch together fabrics from blues, folk, punk-pop and indie into a patchwork of something seamlessly new and yet timelessly familiar.

The band started life in Norwich as an acoustic duo, playing intricate folk and blues arrangements. Progressively leaning into their love of indie and rock, a rhythm section was recruited with the aim of creating a set of songs combining a diverse range of influences from Radiohead to 1920’s delta blues. The result is a sound that can draw its inspiration from anywhere but is unmistakably Leadboots.

Mandy Slate - I Know You Know

By reinventing classic girl group romance through the lens of Gen-Z’s world-weary perspective, Mandy Slate has created an alt-pop gem that sparkles with both vulnerability and strength. Mandy’s hyper-feminine personality translates perfectly to the song’s lovelorn lyrics, which she describes as a ‘scathing love letter written in pink ink.’ With its sugary melody, soulful performance, and cutting lyrics, “I Know You Know” provides a unique perspective of young love in an all-too-confusing modern world.

Hailing from Arizona and based in Los Angeles, California, Mandy Slate is an up-and-coming independent artist and songwriter with a penchant for writing infectious tunes with relatable narratives. With big dreams and energy to spare, Mandy Slate’s music is filled with compulsive hooks, dreamy alt-pop production, old-soul sensibilities, and refreshingly honest lyricism.

Sam Joole – Closer

Sam Joole - Closer

“Closer” by Sam Joole is his 2nd single of 2022. The follow-up track to “Burn Fever Burn” was released on Spotify and other major music streaming platforms on September 1.

A radio edit and an extended club mix of “Closer” is accompanied by a video which features the 90s inspired fluro-lyric video style of Jinnxxx.

The song joins Sam Joole’s current quiver of Nu-Disco dance floor bangers, sitting tight and progressive with an epic, anthemic vocal and face-melting bass line from Craig Strain (Tango Party/Pickpocket). The song talks about being “Closer to Love” and “Closer to Zion”; Zion being a mythical state of peace and love.

In the words of Sam Joole: “The word Zion makes us thing about the Jews or Rastafarians who have adopted the word but I see it as a universal word that represents Utopia or a Holy Place. That place to me is music and dance.”

The song was written and produced during the recent worldwide lockdowns, and was produced at Sam Joole’s studios. Its other central theme is freedom and moving closer toward Freedom Day.

Sam Joole is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Sydney, Australia. He performs his current style by crossing DJ Tech with live vocals, guitar, synth and hypnotic visuals.
