We take a whistlestop look at new releases from Fightmilk, Déjà Vega and Salt Water Criminals

Déjà Vega
Manchester, England
Cheshire’s Déjà Vega have spent more than a decade making the sort of gloriously relentless psychedelic rock that sounds as though somebody has locked New Order, The Charlatans and a particularly excitable German motorik drummer in a rehearsal room.
Childhood friends Jack Fearon, Mike Newton and Tom Webster formed the trio around a shared enthusiasm for hypnotic rhythms, fuzzed guitars and the considerable pleasures of making an enormous racket.
Their self-titled 2019 debut and 2022 follow-up Personal Hell established a formidable live reputation, built on relentless touring and an uncompromising DIY attitude.
Recent material finds electronic dance rhythms colliding with their increasingly adventurous guitar sound.
Music for people who believe the best place for a guitar solo is somewhere in the middle of a warehouse rave.
