  1. EMA - Past Life Martyred Saints (Souterrain Transmissions)

    Albums: EMA - Past Life Martyred Saints (Souterrain Transmissions)

    Erika M Anderson is audibly affected by every touchstone of her life. She is aversely taken by the tide of her existence, of which she rides on the most precarious of rafts. Every break in her voice and shriek of her guitar hints towards one thing, escapism.

  2. Fixit Kid - Fixit Kid Three (Fight Me)

    Albums: Fixit Kid - Fixit Kid Three (Fight Me)

    Fixit Kid's third album packs all the right punches.

  3. Clinic

    Live Reviews: ‘Time Out’ London Sessions Festival @ Camden Barfly 22.04.11

    Ben Wood watched veteran garage-rock dudes Clinic headline a seemingly randomly assembled bill of soundscapers, groove-makers and piss-takers…

  4. World’s End Girlfriend - Seven Idiots (Erased Tapes)

    Albums: World’s End Girlfriend - Seven Idiots (Erased Tapes)

    A storm in a teacup? Or a full scale deconstruction?

  5. Munk - The Bird And The Beat (Gomma)

    Albums: Munk - The Bird And The Beat (Gomma)

    Ignore the chinstrokers and trainspotters… dance music is supposed to be fun, dammit. Just when you thought there was nothing new to say with a 4/4 beat, here comes Munk to get us smiling and grooving again.

  6. Panda Su - I Begin (Peter Panda)

    EPs: Panda Su - I Begin (Peter Panda)

    By releasing a gentle lull of a record which delights in its beautiful simplicity, Panda Su embarks on her recording career with astounding poise and sensitivity. Rising out from an over abundance of singer-songwriter acts, it might just be worth your time.

  7. Brew//Dance To The Radio Split 10”

    Singles: Brew//Dance To The Radio Split 10”

    When Bearded interviewed Brew earlier this year, they said "the idea of not doing a physical release makes me a bit ill" and so it is with great pleasure that we see this split 10” with Dance To The Radio playing its part in celebrating Record Store Day 2011.

    Albums: Low - C’mon (Sub Pop)

    Whisper it, but a contender for record of the year.

  9. A Hawk In The Rain - One (Self-Release)

    EPs: A Hawk In The Rain - One (Self-Release)

    It’s a real pleasure when you stumble across the musical gems that are to be found scattered across our humble Internet. Coincidentally, that’s just what happened when Bearded came across A Hawk In The Rain.

  10. Alexi Murdoch

    Live Reviews: Alexi Murdoch @ The Borderline, London 11.04.11

    Alexi Murdoch is a genuine DIY success story. He has turned down countless major label advancements in favour of self-releasing, and as we enter the sold-out Borderline in London, filled with so many excitable, anticipatory fans that it might be considered dangerous, it is clear that this has not been to his detriment.
