The Zen Arcade – High Fidelity
From 2010 to 2018, The Strypes were a successful Irish quartet. They put out three critically acclaimed albums, which they promoted with gigs from Glastonbury to Fuji Rocks. They also performed on TV with Jools Holland and The Late Show With David Letterman, as well as being support act of Arctic Monkeys.
After The Strypes split, three of its members formed the band The Zen Arcade in late 2019. They first attracted an audience with their own zine Cro Mag Non and podcast Higher Fidelity. On behalf of the zine, they publish the PDFs online, which the fans print and piece together themselves. The podcast focuses on ‘music analysis’. Episode ‘When Should They Have Stopped’ for instance, discussed great bands that continued past the moment they ruined their legacy.
The Zen Arcade just released their first EP High Fidelity. It contains last year’s debut single Don’t Say A Word and a bonus episode of their podcast. Also included is the band’s new single High Fidelity. This track started life as the intro to their podcast series and has since been expanded into a proper song. ‘From jingle to single’, as the band say themselves. The same way I’ll Be There For You by The Rembrandts evolved from the ‘Friends’ theme song into a hit track.
Musically there are similarities between both bands’ sounds as well. Furthermore, The Zen Arcade name Hoodoo Gurus, The Jesus & Mary Chain, XTC and Graham Coxon as their influences. Bands that make my heart ‘pound in 5.1 surround sound’, to cite a lyric from High Fidelity.

The Jaded Hearts Club – Nobody But Me
Miles Kane, formerly of The Rascals, already was in supergroup The Last Shadow Puppets, with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner. Now he’s in another supergroup, with even bigger names. The Jaded Hearts Club also features Nic Cester (Jet), guitarists Graham Coxon (Blur) and Jamie Davis, Matt Bellamy (Muse) on bass, and drummer Sean Payne (The Zutons).
Formerly known as Dr. Pepper’s Jaded Hearts Club Band, they started out as a Beatles tribute band. After playing only a few live shows, Bellamy and Davis wanted to develop the band further. They decided to focus primarily on recording lost classics from the world of Northern Soul, supplemented by their raw, soulful takes on some famous standards from the era. Bellamy explains: “The Jaded Hearts Club is continuing the tradition of how bands like The Beatles and The Stones started out – finding great soul and blues standards and recording them in a more modern style.”
The band’s first single is Nobody But Me, originally a 1962 Isley Brothers song. The Jaded Hearts Club give the Northern soul classic a mean rock ’n’ roll ‘twist’ (pun intended).

Rat Boy – Turn Round M8
After fine singles like Wasteman, Get Over It , Move and Revolution, Rat Boy finally released his full length debut Scum earlier this month. An album, recorded in Damon Albarn (Blur) his studio, that doesn’t only include all of the tracks we’ve come to love Jordan Cardy and his bandmates for, but also a collaboration with Blur’s Graham Coxon. He plays guitar on most recent single Laidback. And perhaps most important of all, Kendrick Lamar sampled the track Knock Knock Knock – originally from a 2015 Rat Boy mixtape – on the song Lust. from his album Damn.
But all of the name dropping aside, Scum features a song that stands out on its own as a potential next single. I absolutely love it. How do you like the album opener Turn Round M8?
