Amazing and gratifying to see word of Lowlands slowly spreading out. The revered Italian magazine Buscadero has been kind enough to write some words about us.

We're honoured!

If you haven't heard Lowlands yet, pop along to thelovelybasement.bandcamp.com/music for a listen.

An interview with Yakkie, ahead of the launch of their debut album ‘Kill the Cop Inside Your Head’ On the eve of the launch of their debut album ‘Kill The Cop Inside Your Head’, we managed to catch a few moments with busy bass behemoth Laura Ankles from the band (and all the bands) to ask a few questions.

Track of the day: Heavenly return in glitter and grit on euphoric new single ‘Scene Stealing’ Heavenly are back – and they sound gloriously unstoppable. New single ‘Scene Stealing’ is a fizzing rush of disco-tinged indiepop, sweet on the surface, salty underneath. All shimmering melodies and dancefloor bounce, it delivers its critique with a grin: a sharp-eyed takedown of influencer culture and the same tired misogyny that the band were calling out three decades ago. The beat glitters, the hooks soar, and the message lands – joyful resistance, Heavenly style.
