The Mancunian band released the fantastic album “II” in 2015, making it one of the most appreciated ROX records last year. Check out their new single “Alone” above! Can the new album keep up with the high standards?
Cool! Looking forward to Saturday June 3!
Loving this right now.
After “Radio Kids”, it’s the second single off the new album from the Philadelphia outfit. And it’s a REAL burner. Turn it up LOUD!!!
Am very curious how the album will sound as a whole, available on February 17!

Sehr schön: “Alexandra Savior, la protégée d’Alex Turner, est la sensation rock de cette rentrée. Son premier album ne sortira que début 2017, mais l’attente paraît déjà longue !”
See you @ Primavera 17!
Though released earlier this year, I just stumbled over this track this week. Feels a bit like Adam is back in the house…. awesome!
…and another terrific one:
…ha, feel the Cure-keys? Infectious!
ROX 2016 – our first year, 13 great releases. But which one is ROX album of the year 2016?
Let our hosts decide:

| 2nd | Hiss Golden Messenger – Heart Like A Levee (ROX 012) | 6 | Horsebeach – II (ROX 001) | 6 |
| 3rd | Horsebeach – II (ROX 001) | 4 | Hiss Golden Messenger – Heart Like A Levee (ROX 012) | 4 |
