To celebrate the release of their new single, The Frampton Sisters have now shared the emotive new video for Let Me Hold Your Hand.

Intimately acoustic, Let Me Hold Your Hand pulls at the heartstrings instantly. Sisters Freddie and Charlie Frampton’s haunting vocal soars effortlessly over the gentle plucks of the guitar strings, creating a sound that is both delicate and warm. Talking about the new visuals, directed by Mike Wilcox, Freddie explains, “using the beautiful Camber Sands as the location for the video, we feel we were able to capture the storytelling and rawness of Let Me Hold Your Hand. The song tells it’s own story, so the emptiness and beauty of the 6am January sunrise at Camber, worked perfectly.”

To celebrate the release of her new EP Callous CopperChloe Foy has now shared the intimate new live video for her single Never Be The Same Again.

Talking about the video, Chloe explains, "when thinking of a video concept for the EP I really wanted to recreate the feeling we had in the recording studio, which was that we pretty much recorded it live. We filmed with the very talented Rich Williams and Luca Rudlin in a beautiful space called The Yard in Manchester. I didn't feel we needed any frills as these beautiful instruments and talented string quartet stand out on their own. So that's what we have done here."

The EP - Callous Copper - is an intimate selection of songs, old and new, that have been re-imagined within the setting of a string quartet. Each track effortlessly compliments the next as the violin, viola and cello combine to create a sound that is otherworldly.

Synth-pop trio Twist Helix return with the release of their effervescent new single Louder, out now via Paul Back Music.

Not afraid to push boundaries, Louder once again showcases Twist Helix’s unique ability to create synth-heavy soundscapes that feel beguilingly cutting edge. Reminiscent of the likes of Depeche Mode and New OrderLouder is a euphoric offering that fits perfectly with front woman Bea Garcia’s undeniably arresting vocals. Talking about the single, the band elaborate, "Louder is about our frustrations with the industry. It’s our response to the pressure to always toe someone else’s line and to never speak out for fear of causing offence. This song goes out to anyone who has had to bite their tongue and put up with someone else’s conceited attitude… which is about 48% of the country right now.”

The glinting optimism of Liverpool’s most exciting alt-pop outfit, The Peach Fuzz return with Softie, the new single out now via Skeleton Key Records/Warners, preceding the band’s first ever UK Headline Tour.

Sugar-coating a cutting commentary on masculinity, expectation and identity politics with their typically, up-tempo, soft-wired electro-indie sound, The Peach Fuzz round the edges of modern life’s relentless pressures with honey-sweet vocals and smooth, vintage synths. Described by the band as “an exhausted, teary-eyed rant” that came to life when the macho bullshit became too much, the single kicks back at conformity and stereotypes, while beating a rebellious path to the dance floor.
