Glytsh arrived on the music scene in March with a big bang, screamy vocals, distorted guitars and a fresh sound that made the industry take notice. With a string of absolutely rave reviews from Amazing Radio (Charlie Ashcroft, Frankie Francis), Radio X (John Kennedy) and BBC Sounds (Richard Latto), the two fascinating and talented women […]
MoreThere is something magical about the Welsh rockers, Holy Coves. The sadness and hope enchanted in the indie melodies and distorted guitars. Darkness and light. Despair and calmness. One would think that it would be impossible to put such extremely opposite feelings in one song, yet here we are listening to “Grey”. Welsh have a […]
MoreWe all know the saying: so much to do, so little time. For independent music reviewers, this is our daily motto at Vanadian Avenue. Despite the never-ending backlog of music to review, we always aim to set a bit of time aside to cover projects that are the “alternative of the alternative music scene”, for […]
MoreWe truly do not know how Vandalism Begins @ Home are doing it, but they are releasing some of the most ambitious music on the indie market these days. From the dreamy Peachstone, grunge inspired Sean Grant & The Wolfgang to cold wave influenced Luna Rosa – all their acts are raising musical bar very […]
MoreWithout a doubt, Skuund is a strange beast. Hidden from the eyes of regular social media users, moving silently through underground indie landscape, rare sightings are observed on the pages of eclectic musical zines where lovers of everything obscure are praising their delicate and ethereal sounds. Skuund reminds me of a nocturnal creature, a shy […]
MoreI wish every day was just like last Friday. A simple message on Twitter helped us to discover a new artist that we will keep on eye on. Her name is BEX, she is just 19 years old and on 8th of May she released her first single entitled “Tiptoe”. It was exactly what we […]
MoreIt’s such a shame that in times where 80’s social inequality and 00’s economical recession are wreaking havoc on British society, there is an absolute lack of interest in the politically and socially aware music from the biggest labels in the land. We have probably the best new bands on the scene right now, singing […]
MoreI’m not sure who coined the phrase that radio DJ or a music journalist is simply a failed musician, but they couldn’t be more wrong. The music business has seen many cases where an established singer decided to have (some sort of) a career change and became a radio presenter. Let’s look at Lauren Laverne […]
MoreSome things are certain: like death and taxes and perhaps me following the careers of Harrison Baird-Whitman and Joseph Devine. Sometimes I feel like an unofficial chronicler of musical shenanigans of these two, but it’s worth the effort. Who knows, maybe there`s a book somewhere in my distant, psychedelic future? I won’t bore you with […]
MoreEverybody knows the story how delivering a mushroom biryani to John Peel started Billy Bragg`s career. I wish I had a similar anecdote regarding The Barrys! Now, that would be something worth telling my (future) grandchildren. Unfortunately, my first encounter with the band started rather ordinarily – with an enquiry abouta review. Then yours truly […]
