Premiere: Heat Vs. Light – Just The Sound

Back in May, Independent Music News muso Chelsey Turner reviewed Heat Vs. Light’s second album, Explode Like A Sun, in which she described it as “an incredible work of heart, immense creativity and explosive energy”. I’d be a fool to disagree. Each song is majestic and magical. From the reverberating buzz of Your Science to the bouncer-esque presence […]

Premiere: Latenight Honeymoon – Afterglow

We all have an afterglow. A digital footprint we leave behind once we pass away. It’s probably grown exponentially since COVID-19. All those Skype meetings, Zoom quiz nights, TikTik scrolls, all a pixilated reality, but a source of communication in the current nightmarish world. Latenight Honeymoon’s new single, Afterglow, delves deep into such issues, searching for […]

Premiere: Jasper Erkens – True Love

Though you’d never be able to tell looking at my rippling muscles and intimidating demeanour, I’m a bit of a sucker for romance. I often sit up at night crying, a glass of wine in hand, listening to mushy love songs while hugging my life-sized Scarlett Johansson pillow. That’s not romantic, you say? How dare […]

Premiere: Alleyways – Rude

I do wonder why we don’t hear more saxophone in today’s music scene. After its resurgence in the ’80s, it quickly faded once guitar-driven Britpop took hold. Personally, I think it is a glorious sound, and saxophonist Stu Whyte has solo’s sprinkled all the way through Alleyways’ new track, Rude. This is their version of […]

Premiere: Lawn Flamingo – Hell Isn’t Other People

At 11 pm on the 31st of January 2020, the time had finally arrived. The UK Parliament ratified the withdrawal agreement from the EU, and Eurosceptics up and down the country cried with joy. After a referendum full of deceit, lies and propaganda, the ones who voted stay woke up the following day as outsiders. […]
