Tugboat Captain: Nothing Embarrassing

English baroque-pop band Tugboat Captain paint a picture of a couple in the early stages of their relationship on their new single Nothing Embarrassing. Finding out what the significant other likes or dislikes is trying to make it safe through the minefield - things can go terribly wrong - and it takes some time to come to conclusion that it is perfectly alright to be different. The hassles of being a young adult in a big city like London are in fact far more difficult to deal with.

Flower Show: Spitting At The Walls

Liverpudlian queer six-piece indie band from Flower Show are taking the piss in a good-natured way when it comes to coping with fuck ups and unfortunate accidents on their new single Spitting At The Walls. Yes, people do make mistakes, get drunk, and say things that were a bit scathing in hindsight. Might as well decide to live with it and turn it into a Northern soul infused banger, with a jubilant trumpet to boot. It is a track from their debut album Painted Nails & Silver Bells, due for release on May 2nd. The video was directed by Patric Rogers.

Live date:

• O3/21 Liverpool, UK @ Ullet Road Church
  (w/ OORYA & Pink Mountain)

Black Operator: Rolling

Dutch garage rock band Black Operator are back for a gritty blues-infused single, Rolling, with a keyboards break that sounds not unlike The Who's Baba O'Riley. The band went through some personel changes since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2019. Then the pandemic happened, but the fire is now succesfully rekindled, with a new EP coming out later this year.
