Cue the trumpets and roll out the red carpet, we’ve only gone and done another interview. This one is a cracker too, as Stephen Billington had a chat with multi-instrumentalist and exceptional talent, Fritz Hutchinson. We know what you’re thinking – that his name alone merits a 10/10 rating, and Stephen did congratulate him on […]

Continue readingPremiere: Heat Vs. Light – Explode Like A Sun
The sun is a rare sight to see in the UK, but I think it heard our cries of desperation for some holiday vibes this year and is making a special appearance. Can I get some hands up for ice cream, tan lines and the inevitable groans of “it’s too bloody hot”? Will we ever […]
Continue readingPremiere: Quiche – Rat Habits
Who doesn’t love a bit of quiche? Eat it either hot or cold, with a side salad or chips and peas; the savoury French tart is a treat for the senses. Oh, I haven’t even talked about the different flavours; ham and cheese, tomato and spinach, and vegetable. God! I’m feeling hungry. Fortunately, I have […]
Continue readingPremiere: Angie & Harrison First – Silver Sadness
Back in 2015, the joint forces of Franz Ferdinand and Sparks came together and released a track called Collaborations Don’t Work. The song was a powerful and satirical piece of work that made the opposite point to its title. I was reminded of this tune while listening to the new single by Angie & Harrison First. […]

Best Ex’s new EP, Good At Feeling Bad, brings a change of musical direction to the NYC-based artist Mariel Loveland, who has traded in her pop-punk crown for a more wholesome one with a slight edge of indie to it. The follow up to Loveland’s 2017 debut, Ice Cream Anti Social, details her recovery from abuse and the […]

What is your favourite thing about summertime? There is plenty to like: beer gardens, festivals, major football tournaments, sunshine, and holidays. While we may be stuck indoors for the foreseeable, it doesn’t mean the summer tunes can’t be blasted loud. Don’t Call Me Ishmael think outside the box. Releasing four EPs to correlate with each […]
Continue readingReview: Gaygirl – Pleasurehead
Many artists have attempted to emulate the grunge sound of the ’90s while bringing it into the modern era effectively, yet very few are as enjoyable as the collection of songs that I just sat down and listened to. Pleasurehead by Gaygirl leads you through various elements of what the band are capable of and […]
Continue readingReview: Lindsay Munroe – River
Lindsay Munroe’s latest single, River, attempts to use the metaphor of the eponymous river in a way that no other namesake track has done before; not Bruce Springsteen or even the mighty Good Charlotte. The heavenly opening chord instantly soothes and establishes a gentle, natural tone, just in time for the angelic vocals to come in […]
Continue readingPremiere: The Harriets – Cafe Disco
Dig out the deck chairs, get yourself outside and put Cafe Disco by The Harriets on obnoxiously loud. Your neighbours will praise you for your sublime taste in music, and you’ll leave the whole street/town/country, dependant on how noisy you want to go, with lifted spirits and happy souls. When angry Phillis threatens to do you in, […]
