The return of GERI HORNER

*Warning: PIRATE RADIO presentation* Geri Horner poses naked
Geri Horner poses naked in older photos
Geri Horner might be seen baking on Instagram, and on near-constant family outings following her days in the Spice Girls, but she's undergone quite the dramatic transformation to get to this point.
Racy photos from her glamour modelling days have re-emerged, taken before she joined the band.
The star is seen posing full frontal with nothing but an open sheer shawl over her shoulders, flashing everything to the cameras in snaps which would make Kim Kardashian blush.
The baby-faced star has darker hair and red lippy on in the snaps, as she poses up against a brick wall backdrop.

Have your say in the comments below

Geri we wouldn't have recognised you

More photos see her swap to a completely see-through fishnet leotard, flashing her nipples and barely covering her modesty with her hands in the close-up.
She looks completely different with her darker hair scraped back, staring straight at the lens with a moody expression.
And proving there was simply no barriers, she then swapped to a black one-piece, before holding it wide open to flash her boobs.

Undergrünnen - 'Ørkesløs Fryd'

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
'Ørkesløs Fryd'
Undergrünnen are already cult heroes in their native Norway.
Outrageously energetic garage punk, their explosive live shows have a brattish charm which batters your ear drums and leaves a smile on your face.
New EP 'Ørkesløs Fryd' is out now, and it's a sizzling return from a group whose reputation is beginning to spread.
Pirate Radio is able to premiere the video for 'Ørkesløs Fryd', and it's a distorted, damaged glimpse into their world.
Snappy garage punk that is reminiscent of The Damned, The Sonics, or even The Hives, you can tune in below.

WHITE WINE "Drama Queen"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
White Wine
White Wine is a new project from Joe Haege of Menomena, and it finds the musician on fresh territory.
Darkly atmospheric and electronic in tone, the intense songwriting is under-pinned by some genuinely intoxicating melodic flourishes.
Pirate Radio is able to premiere the video for new cut 'Drama Queen', and it's an intense study of sexuality.
Let's allow White Wine to explain themselves: "Joe Haege's cryptic subconscious and commentary of the modern pace of sexuality/porn in the human psyche. All footage is either taken from online or filmed by Mr. Haege himself."
Check it out now.
White Wine are set to head out on tour this summer.

LUCIANBLOMKAMP "The Overman"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
'The Overman'
LUCIANBLOMKAMP hails from Melbourne, one of Australia's creative centres.
The producer has been gradually gaining attention in his homeland for some time, with those layered, pop-heavy cuts arriving packed with colour.
New single 'The Overman' is out now, the primer for LUCIANBLOMKAMP's new album 'Bad Faith', which arrives on April 1st.
The accompanying video was directed by Tess Hutson, and it picks up on the drama, the sensuality inherent within the music.
Filmed in the gorgeous coastal town of Bermagui in New South Wales, it explores unspoken desires...
Check it out now.

BEACH "Donuts"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
Beach
Beach are a group of five friends, five collaborators, from Dublin.
Part of the city's teeming music scene, their intensely creative songwriting veers from extremes of shade and light.
Shifting from sparse post-punk to lush psychedelia, the deeply independent group are slowly refining their sound.
New cut 'Donuts' is both part of this process, and evidence of how far they have come. Airing first on Pirate Radio, songwriter Dave Barrett explains:
“They are about a really fucked up out of body experience I had where I transcended into a spiritual dimension. For quite some time I thought I was dead in the physical world.”
Check it out now.
Catch Beach live at Dublin's Whelans venue on March 23rd.

BABEHEAVEN "Heaven"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
Babeheaven
Babeheaven are a collision of disparate, often conflicting elements - and yet somehow it all works perfectly.
New single 'Heaven' drops on April 8th via Handsome Dad / B3SCI, and it's a gorgeous, drifting, evocative introduction.
The spectral electronics mingle with a soulful delivery, while the indie songcraft gives away to some beautifully uplifting, tropical elements.
The track began as a tribute to Nancy's mother, who passed away when she was young, before being reconfigured as a description of “the front you put up and break down in front of people, and how things might’ve been different with someone else around.”
Check out the full video (directed by Tegen Williams and Raf Felner) below.
'Heaven' is set to be released on April 8th.

WALRUS "Wearing It"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
Walrus"Wearing It" (video)
Halifax psych rockers Walrus are out on the road ahead of releasing their new Goodbye Something EP, and before it arrives, the band have shared a taste of what's to come with a colourful new video for "Wearing It."

Shot and directed by Jeff Miller in the band's native Halifax, the video takes "psychedelic" to a whole other level, making use of kaleidoscopic colour effects and layering that go hand in hand with the track's free-flowing, airy nature. Let it be known that the band wear these vivid colours well.

Before you head out to catch them, though, Exclaim! has your first look at a bright new video for album cut "Pretty Faces."

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
'Can't Get Enough Of Myself'
When Santigold hits, she hits hard. New album '99¢' is out now, and it's a fantastic return, one packed with energy, laced with fresh ideas.
'Can't Get Enough Of Myself' is one of the highlights, and it's now received the full visual treatment. It's fair to say the clip is an all-star affair.
Guests in order of appearance: Alexander Wang (phone), Elijah DeVries (T-Shirt), Yung Jake (coffee), Jay Z (posters), Yohanna Zecarias (dollar bill), baby (sunglasses), Jack Rooke (rearview mirror), Olivia Wilde (billboard), Quil Lemons (water), Pharrell Williams (jumbotron), Inaya Clark (toast), Santigold (newspaper), Andy Samberg (photo booth), Naim White (whiskey).

MOATS "Hungry"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
Moats
Moats are four friends, four comrades-at-arms, who make a righteous, mischievous racket.
Part of Britain's growing guitar pop underground the group were chosen to appear on the 8ON7 tape, alongside Hooton Tennis Club and Spring King.
Since then Moats have been biding their time, working on fresh material while honing their live show to a dangerous level.
New cut 'Hungry' ends the wait for new material, and it's a bristling, ecstatic return. Moats explain: “We wanted to keep the song as spacious as possible so each element of the track could be heard individually as well as within the song as a whole. We spoke about what emotions we wanted to portray and particularly focused on making sure that in each section the music reflected the lyrics - Lyrically the song focuses on craving something really badly and constantly working hard towards feeding that craving”.

MAJID JORDAN "Every Step Every Way"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*

Majid Jordan"Every Step Every Way" (video)
To further promote their self-titled debut LP and current tour, Toronto duoMajid Jordan have released yet another music video. This time, they're delivering a low-key laser show while performing "Every Step Every Way."

Directed by COMMON GOOD, the clip begins with the sight of an animated nude walking towards a door. From there, Majid Jordan are found performing the sly and soulful cut from within a fairly darkened room. Illuminating flashes of neon light flit around the room they sing or pop off bass lines.

You'll find "Every Step Every Way" down below.

As previously reported, Majid Jordan started a North American tour earlier this month. The trek includes stops in Montreal and Toronto. You'll find the show info over here.


AIDAN KNIGHT "The Arp"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*

Aidan Knight"The Arp" (video)
Ahead of a North American tour supporting 2016 effort Each Other, Victoria popsmith Aidan Knight has unveiled an uplifting video behind "The Arp." Focusing on forest-set adventures and UFO sightings, it explores the bonds we maintain, earthly or otherwise.

Directed by Amazing Factory's Joe Schweers and Josh Huculiak, the video first finds a pair of old timers and their pooch ruminating on the day in a remote cabin. What follows is a flashback to when the human duo were but a pair of cuffed jean teens, and the weird thing they saw a long time ago.

You can tap into the illuminating story line by giving the skies-watching video a peep down below.

Knight caps a European tour tonight (March 23) in London, but starts up a more localized, North American trek by the beginning of April. You'll find the Canada-heavy show schedule over here.


JHENE AIKO "B's And H's"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*

Jhené Aiko"B's and H's" (video)
A week after reports surfaced that Jhené Aiko married producer Dot Da Genius in a private ceremony, the R&B artist is giving something to the public. Specifically, she's just unveiled a new music video for her recent single, "B's and H's."

Backed by a droptop-cool boom of bass, a waterfall's shimmer of guitar and snappy percussive tones, the piece has Aiko musing on a moocher making the rounds with various "bitches and hoes." While everything seems to be paid for at the moment, she waxes of the subject's future: "you gon' fuck around and find yourself by yourself."

Visually, it's a simple clip, with an apparently Guess-sponsored Aiko singing the song into the camera on her own, or sometimes with a doubled-up mirror image of herself.

You can double your fun by giving the previously released track's new video a peep down below.

THE DUBARRYS "Catch The Rider"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
The DuBarrys
In one fell swoop The DuBarrys marked themselves out as a band on the rise.
The group's debut EP dropped earlier this year, catching huge attention online and notching up close to one million SoundCloud plays.
Forever pushing forward, The DuBarrys have now pieced together a follow up single. 'Catch The Rider' is a deliciously melodic nugget of synth-pop, the band's crisp songwriting colliding with some fresh-sounding production.
Future-facing pop with a real classic feel, 'Catch The Rider' comes equipped with some sparkling visuals.
Tune in now.

KSTEWART "Be Without You"

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*
KStewart
KStewart has never surrendered the music she loves.
Growing up as an avid fan of R&B and digital soul, she's absorbed these influences, turned them into her musical DNA.
Finally, it seems that the world is ready to listen. Gorgeous vocals matched to wonderfully mature songwriting, she's set to play London's Islington Academy venue on May 24th.
Ahead of this, Pirate Radio is able to premiere a special version of her stand out cut 'Be Without You'. Sonically inspired by Amerie’s ‘One Thing’, this version of the track was laid down last year at Sarm studios.
KStewart explains: "'Be Without You' is about going out with someone and not wanting to leave their side because you’re really into that person. The beat is quite sassy and so are the melodies, so I didn’t want the lyrics to be super attitude-y because that would be too full-on – I wanted a little bit of a contrast between the two."
Check it out now.
Catch KStewart at Islington Academy on May 24th.
