TELGATE – Cherrytight (single)

More from the currently bursting with talent Welsh scene – get ready for Cardiff based TELGATE to blow the cobwebs away with this tightly knit glam-punk anthem. The band’s Casper James says of the track, ‘Cherrytight is a metaphor for the backlash and social reaction to the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. The song is a poetic discussion of how the crisis which grieved the LGBTQ community was twisted to promote fear-mongering of homosexual and bisexual people and laid blame on our community… Amongst the catchy bassline and powerful flange is a protest for those queer lives who died in the shadows and those who are emerging from them today.”

Italia 90 – Road to Hell (single)

This was meant to be a three song feature until we heard the latest offering from the excellent Italia 90. If you haven’t caught this band yet don’t delay any further; their spiky, bass driven sound evokes the best of early 80s’ new wave with the likes of Magazine and Gang of Four springing to mind. Latest single Road to Hell sees them continue to produce quality material to match their charismatic live performance. Italia 90 are touring in the new year, catch them if you can.
