Every time I am in Cardiff, I have this habit of vinyl shopping. For new releases I usually go to The Spillers Records, for second hand and old-time rarities there`s Kellys Records.

MoreThere is no label I venerate more that Loosegroove Records. And no other label shaped me musically as much as this indie giant set up by Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) and Regan Hagar (Malfunkshun, Brad, Satchel). In its day, in the mid-90s, Loosegroove released absolute gems from Seattle scene that were ambitious, avant-garde and defined […]

It is an […]
MoreDear Readers! The first half of 2018 is behind us but your two faithful A&R’s are not stopping for an inch!

MoreHello, hello! Oh! February is an extremely busy month for everyone at Vanadian Avenue. After talking to Dharma Bums about their new EP “Nothing to Lose Blues” and grilling Andrew Marston from BBC Hereford and Worcester about their new radio show, here we are throwing questions left and right at another very talented young band!

MoreThe Americas – Something is happening There is definitely something really exciting happening in rock and roll at the moment. Bands such as The Blinders, Idles or The Velvet Hands are like a breath of fresh air. Let’s not forget The Himalayas, Shame, The Strawberries or Bang Bang Romeo. Then, there are The Americas […]
