Following from their acclaimed Three Mothers Part 1 album in 2015, London genre-busters The Vultures are releasing the anticipated second part on April 14th, via independent label Ciao Ketchup Recordings. Comprising of three part vocals, cello, violin, viola, bass and drums, London sextet The Vultures say they’re on a mission to “breath fresh life into rock n’ roll”.

The concise conclusion to their story is an avant-garde medley of Serge Gainsbourg-influenced story-telling and baroque musical arrangements. With gothic themes and cinematic sounds, Three Mothers Part Two invites the listener into the bands own world, one created by layers of beautifully produced strings and baritone vocals reminiscent of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Leonard Cohen.

New single ‘Suicide’ (out March 17th) takes this unique formula and merges it with a post-punk bass and driving, groove-laden rhythm that brings to mind the melancholy songwriting of Joy Division. The band expertly craft dark soundscapes full of shadowy concepts and lamenting lyrics encompassing influences not just from other musicians but from literature, film and art.

Hailing from London, Montreal, Taipei, Valencia and Newcastle, The Vultures boast a more forward thinking approach to making music, one that’s both inventive and classic at the same time. This mixed melting-pot of style and substance results in innovative and impassioned alternative songs, from the sinister, Brothers Grimm inspired ‘Rumplestilkskin’ through to the frantic gypsy swing of ‘The Bat And I’. These musical adventurers are setting off across dark tides, steering the ship where few have ventured before.

Coro Fire are releasing their latest single ‘AMD Cramp’ ahead of the release of their first EP Once A Chore. Coro Fire is a two-piece indie/pop/grunge/rock band from Perth, Australia. The band consists of long-time friends Nick Cook on guitar/lead vocals and Adam Scott on drums. Once A Chore, consists of four tracks drawing influences from a large variety of musical genres and bands. The EP was recorded over 3 months by Nick at his home studio in Perth, and mixed/mastered by Shane White, a close friend of his and an experienced audio engineer.

The duo began jamming together in 2015 after becoming inspired seeing a band at a live music event in Brisbane. Their first songs were written on a couple of acoustic guitars before Adam transitioned to drums and purchased a kit. In early 2016, the two settled on their band name, and Nick began writing and recording demos under Coro Fire.

Since releasing their first track ‘West End’ to the internet in September, the duo has been working hard on their debut EP, which is due to be released in March, 2017. Nick and Adam rarely break from writing and recording new material. They each have their own unique approach to song writing, which when combined proves to be very effective chemistry. Coro Fire’s first gig is lined up for Friday the 24th of February at Babushka, in Leederville, Perth.
