New releases last four weeks: Indie/Alternative

Review: Epic, catchy choruses, scintillating blues rock solos and a self-confident frontman that will have likely had Alan McGee champing at the bit to sign to Creation back in the 90s - The Sherlocks hit all the right notes. The South Yorkshire four-piece indie rock n' rollers have stuck to their guns with guitar-based rock music and ignored the keyboard craze to craft face-melting anthems and earned them a loyal fanbase along the way. Their new album comes out on their own label Teddyboy Records and the band will be looking to outdo themselves by securing their first ever number one spot in the charts when this comes out. To their credit, they have every chance with their rabble-rousing tunes sounding more expansive and ambitious than ever before. Long may this ever-rising four-piece fly the flag for guitar music.
