I can’t get enough of Kasabian’s latest offering. Lead single ‘Eez-Eh’ had me hooked from its first play, giving me high hopes for the album, which definitely doesn’t disappoint. The 13 tracks are carefully crafted by the band in order […]

Album Review – "Daydreamer", Harts
With the ever creeping stagnation of the rock music genre, many long term fans fear the eventual collapse of rock into the dark abyss of mediocrity. However, amidst the dreary and unimaginative offerings of Kings of Leon and Nickelback, to […]
Album Review – "Everything Is Fine", Hawk Eyes
It has been three years since Hawk Eyes’ last full length release “Ideas”. However, despite receiving almost universal critical acclaim in the mainstream music press, the album only sold modestly. This eventually left the band without a major label, forcing […]
Live Review – Marmozets, Electric Ballroom, 19/02/15
Every so often a band comes along that makes you question why everybody else settles for musical mediocrity when they could strive for so much more. Marmozets showed promise from the moment they burst on the scene, fresh-faced teenagers […]
Live Review – The Kathryn Wheel @ The Retro Bar, Manchester
The best sort of gig is always the one in a tiny, dingy underground bar in the back streets of a city – and Manchester is as good as any! I haven’t had time to attend many of these […]
Album Review – "Twenty Three Years", Nessi
Nessi Tausendschoen is an up-and-coming German artist. Her new EP was created with Canadian guitar player William MacKenzie, which was the first collaboration between the two artists in their respective careers. To add even more to the mix, they […]
Gig Review: OK Go @ KOKO, London – 13/02/2015
As a long time OK Go fan, numerous were the hours that I sat with baited breath on the bands’ website waiting for UK tour dates to be announced. Finally, in late August of last year, my perseverance paid […]
Live Review: DUMB at The Old Blue Last, 11/03/14
Another week, another gig in London Town. This time I was at the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch for my hotly-tipped-for-2014 band DUMB. Opening the bill was Birmingham’s Curb who showed their stuff in their melodic grunge which got a […]
Live Review: Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Borderline, 24/02/14
When you go to a lot of gigs you know when it’s going to be good pretty much as soon as you walk in the room. For me, London is the home of all the best venues for live music […]
Live Review: Tinariwen
This band has perhaps one of the most rock ‘n’ roll histories of all. Beginning in 1979, the group has faced territorial conflict, government rebellions, military rivalry and they won a Grammy in 2011. Tinariwen are a collective of musicians […]
Album Review – "Lost Forever // Lost Together" – Architects
For the last few years the UK has been a hotbed for heavy music, with numerous bands like Bring Me the Horizon, Asking Alexandria and Enter Shikari flying the flag on an international scale for a prosperous homegrown scene. Deserving […]
Skeptical – Fourfit EP01
This is a new Soul:r release with four distinct flavours of D&B to taste. Firstly, and perhaps my personal favourite from the EP (not saving the best until last), ‘Desire’, featuring the vocal presence of Collette Warren. The track has […]
