Just a few weeks after their single ‘Hymns of Poseidon’, Maple & Rye´s release their debut EP, Nothing Poetic. The five-track EP is rich in folk inspired acoustic guitar riffs, explosive, dynamic rhythms and ever present seamless vocal harmonies.

Nothing Poetic is for the most a part up-tempo and energetic with tracks such as ‘Catcher in the Rye’, ‘Elysian Fields’ and ‘Spanish Princess’, perfect to jump or dance along to. Maple & Rye place a huge emphasis on their lyrics, each track on the EP having a lyric that invites reflection and is open to interpretation.

Maple & Rye was formed summer of 2016 and except recording this EP, they have also being active with live shows home in Sweden and in Europe. They have gigged at iconic venues in their hometown of Gothenburg, played in Switzerland and in Norway, not to mention their debut UK gig at the Shacklewell Arms in London and their release party at Oslo in Hackney, London.

Bristolian alt-rockers Turbowolf have released ‘The Free Life’; the title track from their upcoming third album which will be released via So Recordings in March 2018. ‘The Free Life’ is a dark, stomping sonic cyclone laden with searing, overdriven guitar and seething bass lines. With a venomous opening that artfully builds to the edge of delirious euphoria before exploding into a hammering groove, the track’s joyous chorus is a swirling exploration of freedom, soaring into a howling cry that questions the nature of reality itself.

It is a kaleidoscopic, six-minute introduction to the wonders that abound on the forthcoming album, promising marvellous eccentricities laced with mysticism, magic and dark cosmologies. Lead singer Chris Georgiadis comments on the band’s return, “Welcome back. How are you? We're great, thanks for asking. Our new album The Free Life is what we've been doing recently. We've taken the liberty of packing it full of great songs for your listening pleasure but would still appreciate your feedback. Contact us by whispering your thoughts and feelings into the breeze. Be kind to yourself and enjoy it.”

Bursting with pounding rhythms and undulating tempos, The Free Life is a psychedelic, riff-steeped auditory odyssey. Turbowolf will be unveiling songs from the new album next week as they blast through a seven-date headline tour culminating in a just-announced FREE Halloween show at London’s Old Blue Last. One of the most exciting, exhilarating and insane live bands on the planet, these tiny shows are set to blow minds across the country.
