Gnoomes - Loops A big gigging weekend starts at Stockton Calling and continues on Easter Sunday with Gnoomes playing Newcastle’s Cumberland Arms. The latter gig, in support of last year’s Ax Ox album, might be a bit special. Gnoomes are that rare thing: an independent Russian band. It won’t come as much of a surprise that, in a country where most things are centralized, grassroots cultural life is also greeted with suspicion. Hailing from Perm, a Ural city that briefly enjoyed a reputation as a provincial centre for experimental, contemporary art, Gnoomes has little choice but to embrace outsider status.

Cortney Dixon – Summer Love Well, this is everything you could want from a pop song. Catchy, distinctive, and blessed with a distinctive purring vocal that sends shivers down the spine with each verse. Cortney grew up listening to the likes of Fleetwood Mac, the Pretenders and Bowie and she clearly picked up a song-writing trick or two along the way. Summer Love, as the title suggests, is a bright, fun slice of disposable flippancy, laced with a slightly pensive twang.
