“I used to joke that ‘ghost’ was the new ‘wolf’, when it seemed like every other MySpace friend request we had was from an occult-inspired band,” says These Are Powers’ guitarist and vocalist, Anna Barie. “But ultimately I think even a fashionable interest in these things has the potential to develop into something more enlightening.

Here are a couple new tracks from the group’s tour-only EP, the first of...

The kid’s been knocking around for years, first coming to the attention of those outside grime and his Bow manor when he won ‘Best Newcomer’ at the Sidewinder Awards back in 2003.
