In what is a slightly new way of doing things here at heavymetalkids.uk, I will now be occasionally providing a round up of some of the beautiful sounds I have happened upon/been sent/been alerted to over the last few weeks. Some I’ll dig more than you, some you may even enjoy more than me, butContinue reading “Life In The Jangle Is Hard…”

The Reds, Pinks & Purples – Murder, Oral Sex & Cigarettes
Three years on from my introduction to both Glenn Donaldson and the wider Bay Area underground scene thanks to the wonderful Red, Pinks & Purples collection You Might Be Happy Someday, I still get an unmatched tingle of excitement whenever a new EP or album quietly arrives online. This time out it’s the dramatically titledContinue reading “The Reds, Pinks & Purples – Murder, Oral Sex & Cigarettes”
Dancer – As Well
These days, I find myself falling in and out of love with post-punk. Maybe it’s over-familiarisation or just me being too tired to be angry enough to enjoy it fully, but something really has to grab my attention if I am to step away from the jangle and get my punk stomp back on. StepContinue reading “Dancer – As Well”
The DIY’s and Wherefores of Red Pants…
There is an indelible homespun warmth that surrounds the work of Madison, Wisconsin based artist Jason Lambeth. From family oriented DIY music videos to the sketches and collages shaped so beautifully into handcrafted zines, Lambeth has established himself not only as a key figure in the underground independent scene, but as a rather splendid humanContinue reading “The DIY’s and Wherefores of Red Pants…”
Are you feeling Lightheaded?
Combining the soaring melodies of sixties garage-pop with the bittersweet jangle of the late 1980’s DIY indie explosion, New Jersey based Lightheaded have been riding a tide of excitement and anticipation ever since news of their debut release for the revered Slumberland Records started circulating.

Seablite – Hit The Wall
Let me start by saying right off the bat that I’m not sure there’s a band out there right now as cool as San Francisco indie four-piece Seablite. It’s incredibly exciting when the songs, sound, vision and style all come together as they have in the lead up to new album Lemon Lights. After theContinue reading “Seablite – Hit The Wall”
Apostille – Prisoners Of Love And Hate
An outlier with a deep knowledge of pop in all its forms and the unrivalled power it holds, Glasgow based Michael Kasparis’ Apostille project is back with third album Prisoners Of Love And Hate, and it’s his most deeply focussed and affecting effort to date. From the opening Whigfield (!) inspired house pulse of SaturdayContinue reading “Apostille – Prisoners Of Love And Hate”
Tony Jay – Perfect Worlds
Resembling either a night that ended far too late or a morning that began far too early, the music of San Francisco’s mysterious lo-fi pop project Tony Jay exists in a unique space, a space where the band are free to dream boldly in the half-light, and coax real wonder from layers of tape hissContinue reading “Tony Jay – Perfect Worlds”
