The lid on this Harper’s Jar is tight, real tight – just like the band’s musicianship. Harper’s Jar has a debut album coming out this year, April 10th to be exact, and for now, we’ve been graced with two tracks: Dandy Golden Blue and Home Is A Roach Hotel. In short, they’re a couple of […]

Premiere: Beauty School – I Don’t Like This Party
I once had a bad experience at a beauty school. At sixteen, I had long curly hair and beautiful blue eyes. I was the talk of the town. Every time I entered the room A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton would play. I had a great life, then Sandra ruined it all. I was putting […]
Song Of The Day: Soccer Mommy – Circle The Drain
When I saw the words Soccer Mommy appear on my screen, I thought it was just Google suggesting things I might enjoy based on my seedy browser history. But I shouldn’t have; I was introduced to Soccer Mommy as an artist a while ago; when a song called Scorpio Rising peacefully entered my life through my […]
Premiere: FEARS. – Vampires
I don’t have many fears, but when I saw the subject heading of an email titled Vampires, I quickly deleted it. Like spam mail you get from a Nigerian prince offering you two million pounds because you’re somehow related to him, I thought I was getting conned. That, and the fact that the address was ihavefearsineedhelp@gmail.com, […]
Premiere: Stanleys – A Better Life
Have you ever been to Wigan? No?! You’re missing out. Famous for pea wet and babbies yeds, its beltin’. The music scene is pretty cool too. Bands like Bad Water, The Shook-Ups, and Cactus Knife have all rock and rolled their way into the history books. Then there are greats venues like The Tudor that’ll […]
Podcast: A Good Talking To – Oliver Manning
A Good Talking To podcast is back. Yes, we’ve been away for a couple of months, but now we return with an interview with Oliver Manning; a singer, songwriter, podcaster and meditator. He also likes red wine, which is a Brucie Bonus. Wow, what an old reference. I apologize profusely. On this episode, we had […]
Review: Carriers – Now Is The Time For Loving Me, Yourself & Everyone Else
Carriers is the project of Curt Kiser; a Cincinnati-based musical genius. Kiser is quite the grafter; playing in several bands and touring the US extensively from a young age – skipping college in the process but gaining a wealth of musical experience and a collective of friends along the way including Bryan Devendorf of The […]
Review: Parrot Dream – Woven
I’ve always been intrigued by the process of coming up with a band name. Recently I’ve come across acts titled Turkish Delight (tasty), Captain Handsome, Unqualified Nurse Band, and Pet Crow. Then there’s Brooklyn-based, dream pop idols Parrot Dream. Parrot Dream?!? Amazing. Do Parrot’s dream? Probably about being ten foot and attacking people. I used […]
Interview: Husky Loops
I saw Husky Loops live at The Old Blue Last back in 2016 when they first formed. Even when the three-piece were just cutting their teeth, they were sharp. Three years down the line and it seems they are just going from strength to strength, having been picked up by Danger Mouse’s label – 30th […]
Review: Wet Mut & Squitch – Split EP
Let me begin with a warning. If you are a bad kisser, you should probably just avoid this album altogether. Your technique should be at least average or higher, if you are to consider listening to this music, or even reading this review. (But more on that later.) Okay! Let’s get into this! I found […]
