Fake news, good news, bad news, it’s all the same. Media companies attempt to knock you down with distressing headlines, then lift you back up with light-hearted stories such as Kellogg’s launching an onion-flavoured breakfast cereal. Without the daily reports, stats and charts, we’d probably feel better about ourselves and the world. But no, today […]
Premiere: Kymara – Unconscious Happiness
As a twenty-eight year old, I can unequivocally say I still act like a toddler. From dancing with the dogs, Cauli and Basil, to singing about cheese on toast, that inner childishness wreaks havoc throughout most of the day. Maybe it’s due to the fact I had a terrible upbringing, and living in an abusive […]
Review: Bryony Williams – I Can Be
The Bryony Williams banger, I Can Be, I have graciously been handed is brimming with self-confidence, and why wouldn’t it be? It’s a song so pleasing to the ears that it reminded me of that time I got thirteen pieces of chicken at KFC instead of twelve. Good Lord, if only my life could meet such […]
Song Of The Day: Martha Hill – Grilled Cheese
When feeling that late afternoon hunger, and in need of a warm carby hit, I make a grilled cheese. Buttered sourdough bread, mature cheddar, cream cheese, combined and placed in a scorching hot pan, cut into triangles (very important) and dipped in ketchup. Like Martha Hill, I too believe raw onions have no place on […]
Review: Rachel Angel – Highway Songs
At the age of nineteen, I underwent a terrible experience that would go on to shape the next few years of my life. There was a lot of pain along the way, but gradually I rebuilt myself from scratch and came out of those tumultuous times as a healthier, more confident person. These days, I […]
Review: Born Idiot – I’d Rather Lie
We’ve all been there. You’re scrolling down Instagram. You see food, adverts, pets, artwork, and before long, you witness that post. The ex-partner with someone new. Someone better. Someone who just isn’t you. You move to unfollow their account but can’t bring yourself to do it. You still feel attached to the person. You have […]
Review: Kestrels – Vanishing Point
Opening with a wave of mighty rock, Vanishing Point is a song to be reckoned with. You can attempt to wrestle it to the ground, but your efforts will no doubt be fruitless as the overwhelming energy of the music crushes you into nothingness. Bit of a violent way to start a review, but I couldn’t […]
Review: Bleach Lab – Sleep
One of the best things about lockdown has been the lie-ins. I’ve been snoozing like a newborn baby whenever and wherever I want. Unfortunately, official health guidelines warn against oversleeping, as this can have adverse effects upon the physical and mental state of the individual. Well doctors, today I’ve discovered proof that you can’t get […]
Song Of The Day: Snow Coats – Pool Girl
After building their reputation with the critically acclaimed debut album Take The Weight Off Your Shoulders, and an extensive tour supporting Pinegrove last year, indie-pop quartet Snow Coats are back with a new single titled Pool Girl. Taken from their forthcoming EP, also called Pool Girl and due out on September 11th via Alcopop Records!, this pop-infused song has all the elements of […]
Review: Kaleiders – Wheels
Some days, I wake up feeling chilled out. When choosing the soundtrack for my coffee and breakfast making ritual, I like to pick something laid back that will ease me into the day gently. But you know what? Sometimes it’s better to jump in at the deep end before you’ve had a chance to wipe […]
