Sniffing out the best new music
I love a good underground indie find. Been having a discussion with some music kin lately about the emergence of loads of thirty somethings releasing their debut works this year. 2020 was a year where everyone’s life was turned upside down and, in turn, many a former musician has returned to making music after years...

Alright lads, buckle up because today I’m bringing you an absolute tune. We’re tackling RHNO’s release Smoke of a Train, which I’m currently listening to driving across the Tuscan country side in 27 degree weather – and it fits so well. For this one I’m going to request that you take yourself out to a... Continue Reading →
Taking a turn today from the upbeat, feel good bangers I’ve been shooting your way, I’m going to recommend one for the more sombre moments, the endings and the days where you just want to drive in the rain for a few hours (as I have done many, many times when feeling a bit overdramatic)....

Sienna again, back with yet another fresh release this week! What a treat – still floating over here in the indie folk atmosphere, today we’re talking about British artist Sol Paradise and his newest track Is it Mutual. This one has so many things that I absolutely love to hear in a song; cool, mellow... Continue Reading →
Welcome to episode two of 'My Most Cherished Finds' - the sporadic pop-up feature where I randomly wax lyrical about a song from the recent past. The first edition focused on Sun Shy Boy's 2020 single 'Color of Home' - this episode shines light on B. Hamilton's 2012 release Gold Tooth. A song I've only... Continue Reading →
Hi hey hello what’s up everyone! Sienna here – the newest Sound Sniffer team addition. Let me introduce myself, I’m an Australian stumbling my way through London, I love music and all the people that make it, and I think the world would just be an incredibly boring place if humans stopped creating weird and...

Hamburg based M.Byrd has already caused quite a stir with his first two releases - each garnering a substantial portion of listens over on the streaming platforms. I've been a little bit obsessed with both tracks and admit I'm nearly at the 'singing along' stage with both. Considering I listen to an inhuman amount of... Continue Reading →
They describe their sounds as art-gaze indie. I just describe it as feckin' brilliant. Palma Louca are a five-piece based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne who are guided by the Pillar Artists label who have been representing some great bands of late. I couldn't even begin to work out what 'art-gaze' means, this genre is above my pay... Continue Reading →
Life has returned to a very busy form of itself in recent weeks, I apologise for the slightly later than billed, twenty-sixth, edition of The Lockdown Mixtape. Look, I don't want to hear any nonsense about the lockdown being over and that the oul Sniffer better think of a new name for a chain of... Continue Reading →
The feature continues even though the UK is pretty much lockdown free as I type. Around the globe the restrictions are a lot more stringent - therefore, The Lockdown Mixtape still has clout. The sun is beaming down in London and I'm starting to feel a little bit human again after the most mentally challenging... Continue Reading →
