Weekly Independent Music Taster #106

Aldora Britain Records proudly presents A Rare Look Behind, a collection of 25 eclectic musical selections from around the world. The compilation's title is a reference to A Rare Look Ahead, the new studio album from Tennessean lo-fi powerpop collective Mythical Motors. The band also contribute a brand new track, 'Years Of June'.

Alongside Mythical Motors, we welcome back several other familiar faces this week. We have the ska-inclined new wave of Manganista opening proceedings, followed by the crunching classic hard rock of the Tick Bryan Band. There is also snarling Beatle-esque psychedelia from Pablo Solo, melodic pop punk reinvention from Feverjaw, and roaming lo-fi folk rock from Mike Stapleton.

Til Willis returns with Solohawk, a side project that brings new life to jangly wall-of-sound pop. We also feature California's Big Stir Records and Italy's Go Down Records once again. Big Stir bring us the doo-wop harmony powerpop of Nick Frater and Go Down bring us the powerhouse scuzzy metal finale of Prehistoric Pigs.

As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.

Have a brilliant weekend!

Tom @ Aldora Britain Records
