I recently reviewed Toronto Blessing’s new single, U v U. The link can be found here if you fancy giving it a read. What I took from the song was a story that was close to my heart. As a sufferer of depression in the past, I know how much it can take over your […]
Continue readingSong Of The Day: Erin Durant – Islands
Music is an incredible thing. Listening to a song can evoke so many different emotions, feelings, can pull forward certain memories and even transport you to different places. I remember when my dad first introduced me to Guns N’ Roses. Ten-year-old me couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Although they aren’t to my taste nowadays, […]
Continue readingReview: Christelle Bofale – Swim Team
I can’t swim. I nearly drowned when I was ten because my uncle chased my little arse around a Spanish resort and threw it in the pool. Surprisingly my seven-year-old brother could, and he saved my life. I haven’t forgiven my uncle since. He’s a bastard. In my late 20s, I don’t have to worry […]
Continue readingSong Of The Day: Toronto Blessings – U v U
Today’s song of the day is by Barnsley-based rockers, Toronto Blessings. Entitled U v U, it comes across as a record that will punch you in the face and kick you while you’re down. But if you dig deeper, it actually delves into a distressing subject – depression. “Each day’s the same. Living in a […]

I don’t have work today; it’s a national holiday and a lie in sounds wonderful, but it doesn’t happen. My body refuses my desire for continued rest and instead insists that I get up and make a cup of tea. Fitting then that while sleep is on my mind, I should take in the new […]
Continue readingInterview: The Roves
London jangle-rockers The Roves have just released their second album All Those Freaks. Reminiscent of sixties Merseybeat, the four-piece band seems to be unstoppable in their delivery of new material. And with plans to go out on the road again soon, we caught up with the boys to talk about their new record. When was […]

Even the most dedicated audiophile will tell you that the key to finding great music is to listen to a lot of it. But who has time to sift through all the rubble and find the gems? Independent Music News does! (Well, actually, it was Daniel Thomas mostly.) But here lies the freshest and most […]
Continue readingPremiere: Regional Creeps – For Real
In the UK, a regional creep is usually a shady individual who likes to hang around in the park and drink White Lightning (for you foreign folks, it’s crappy cider). They usually have pigeon mates too. “There’s Tony. His name’s Pete; he usually flies around Tesco” – he proclaims as he strokes your leg. Sorry, […]
Continue readingReview: Palamino – Self Titled
I was excited to review Palamino ever since I discovered their self-titled debut, subsequently purchasing it in January. Seemed like I couldn’t seem to stop playing it. I became more and more curious about the band, the music, and their hometown of Montclair, New Jersey. In the shadow of America’s largest city exists a small […]
Continue readingInterview: Graveyard Club
Based in Minneapolis, four-piece synth-pop band Graveyard Club are set to release their forthcoming album Goodnight Paradise on 28th June. The simplicity of their music has simultaneously proved to be authentic and nostalgic in the past, and their new record is no exception. The enigmatic songwriting force behind the band has an ability to use […]
