I find it very easy to fall in love with new music. One could say I’m slightly addicted to finding original voices, bands and artists that make our independent circuit exciting and fresh. Few months ago, we discovered Re:O, a Japanese-British quartet, based in London and we were smitten by their single “Ronin”. They are […]
MoreMay you live in interesting times – says an old saying, apparently the first of three ancient Chinese curses. The other two are even more scary: may you come to the attention of authorities and may the Gods make your wishes come true. Terrifying staff I tell you. Recently, I feel like we have been […]
MoreI first became acquainted with PleasePrettyLea about two years ago after the release of her well received single “Chaotic”. A friend of mine was reviewing the song and she sent me a message saying that I needed to listen to the track. I did and I was very impressed, sadly at that time, we had […]
MoreIt`s so good to be friends with Gemma Clarke. Not only is she one of the coolest drummers in the country, a genuine rock star (her band JW Paris is one of my all-time favs), but she also has impeccable music taste. It was Gemma who introduced me a few weeks ago to a trio […]
MoreI may have mentioned it once or twice, but I consider the Bangor-based, Welsh duo CELAVI to be the best thing in music since the invention of a loudspeaker. This nu-metal family outfit (the classic set up of husband and wife) are doing wonders for the British metal scene and my well being. I have […]
MoreEveryone who has used the internet in the last twenty years, have come across Hunter S. Thompson`s quote about the TV and film industry circulated in the form of a meme. “The TV business is uglier than most things” – it goes – “It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money […]
MoreHalloween is nearly upon us and there is a great wealth of music out there to serenade your trick and treating. From the 80’s classics (“Ghostbusters” theme, “Thriller” by Michael Jackson), through the 90’s (The Cure, Rob Zombie, Type O Negative’s entire back catalog) to the modern masters of scare such as Spirit Token or […]
MoreVanadian Avene’s absolute favourite nu-metal indie artist BEX is back with her newest single and it’s a very important one. “Sum Kinda Syko” sends a powerful message to those who are stalking, threatening and sexually abusing female artists in the music business. Sadly, this type of criminal behaviour is not only limited to the entertainment […]
MoreLast month, a music editor from a large daily newspaper (we shall not be naming names) gleefully announced that guitar music was dead. In his view, British rock was a goner and there would not be another household name like Sam Fender or Ed Sheeran anymore. I know the press can be completely out of […]
MoreI don’t like reviews of bands being squeezed into “riot grrrl” box. You may ask me why and I shall tell you: because those write ups are lazy. If a band consists of all females or queer folks, then name drop Bratmobile, sprinkle with L7, cross reference with Hole and voila, you are a critic! […]
