New Day: Liverpool’s Lizard drop epic lead single from upcoming EP with Back Again

After impressing all of our earlobes with a magnificent display on Innocence in July, the talented lads from Lizard shows us the story about that person who won’t take no for an answer on Back Again.

Lizard is a groove-all-night-until-the-sun-shines Liverpool, UK-based 4-piece indie alternative rock-jazz fusion act who takes most of their inspiration from legends such as Franz Ferdinand and David Bowie.

Back Again is about someone being interested in you who you have no interest in and do not like, but they don’t leave you alone despite your best efforts to avoid them or shut them down.” ~ Lizard

Guiding us through a movie-like story about someone who wants a spark to be lit that just isn’t there, Lizard is quite fantastic yet again and takes us on a wild journey that involves changing the locks. Wrapped in excellence and thriving with a beat that might cause your feet to tap for ages, taking us on an expedition that might get your heart beating faster than before.

Back Again from Liverpool, UK-based 4-piece indie alternative rock-jazz fusion outfit Lizard is a fresh single that will have you grinning about that human who just doesn’t get it. After trying to hint that you weren’t keen on a romance, the picture just became blurred and packed with regret.

Sung with a tasty style and featuring their signature groovy delivery, this is a song that will uplift your day and get that head nodding with delight.

Hear this nifty track on Spotify and check out their IG for gig news and more.

A&R Factory Present: Ayelle

Ayelle is a London based singer/songwriter of Swedish & Iranian origin who has been putting songs on paper ever since she first learned how to write at the age of 6.  She draws inspiration from her own life experiences as well as those around her, often incorporating feminist elements in her lyrics which challenge the status quo and make people think twice.

Growing up in Sweden and Spain she was exposed to a range of different influences, but while living in London she has developed a taste for a distinctive sound that can be recognized as RnB with electronic influences inspired by artists such as Banks and Kelela.

Ayelle released her Debut E.P. “What You Made” in late November 2014 consisting of three intimate songs with atmospheric, down-tempo beats produced by Nova Hall and The HeavyTrackerz.

Her latest EP ‘Machine’ takes things a step further; Ayelle describes it as an exploration of the intersections between electro-pop and r&b.

A lot of it is about tackling, or simply acknowledging, insecurities and struggling with internalised misogyny. ‘Machine’ works as a metaphor for those internalised behaviours and the unconscious state that we’re in when we let them go unnoticed” she elaborates.

“Back Again is a song for anyone who’s ever dated an emotionally unavailable man who only really wants you once you don’t want him back anymore.”
