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 […]
Pick Of The Week – "Why Do You Hate Me?", Marmozets
Underground British rock is alive and well in 2014, and few bands embody the spirit of it quite like the marvellously unconventional Marmozets. Industry attention has been fixed on the young group for the last few years, and the last […]
Pick of the Week – "Gasoline", The Silent Comedy
Created from the minds of the San Diego based Americana band, The Silent Comedy, “Gasoline is but one example of this band’s magnificent talent. The emotional impact of the intro alone is amazing, with such beautiful music having the capability […]

Natives – "Can't Say No"
New to our B Playlist, this week, “Can’t Say No” by “Natives” is certainly a fun track, from an up and coming band to watch out for. With a sound comparable to bands such as All Time Low and Fall […]
Interview – Walking Relic
The band formed in 2009 – how did this happen? Me (Jessie) and Chris were in a band in high school, but it didn’t work out, so we started playing with his brother-in-law (Derek) and it just sort of […]
The Years – "Into the Fever"
When you’ve been following an up-and-coming band for a while, it’s always great to see them return with new and improved material. That’s exactly the case for “The Years” – a 5-piece, Canadian group, focusing on bringing a new sound […]
Bon Jovi – "Superman Tonight"
Released as part of their ‘The Circle’ album in 2009, this song never seemed to earn the popularity that, in my opinion, it deserved. While not an all-out rock anthem like ‘Living on a Prayer’ or ‘It’s my Life’, this […]
