If “The Four Housewives of Apocalypse” sounds like an oxymoron to you, then you probably never heard of The Red Stains. At Vanadian Avenue we have been hard core followers of the quartet since they formed in 2019. Hand on the heart – the best, most original and completely underrated band from Manchester. Frankly it […]
MoreFluid – single cover Don’t take your eyes off The Red Stains. Don`t even blink. Not because the band consists of Weeping Angels that will send you back to the past (though it is a nice idea, imagine we could teleport all local right-wing boomers back to the XII century where they belong…). It is […]
MoreI don’t want to sound like a broken vinyl record that is stuck on the most depressive part of a really lonesome blues track, but the last couple of years in the music business have been rotten. And toxic. And really bad for the young, unsigned artists. With the very recent passing of Tina Turner, […]
MoreTV Static single cover There have been some harsh words said about Manchester and it`s musical heritage. I think it was Terry Christian that once wrote that there is no music scene in town, just cliques.

We see a person in their early 20`s and we think: they have their life ahead of them, they will develop their skills and become real musicians or singers or painters as the time goes by. It is […]

Combining in a cacophonous whirlwind of fuzz Bad Girlfriend is made up of raucously energetic shredding frontman Connor Hemming, underpinned by the […]
MoreTW: flash/strobe lights in the video, mentions of sexual assault in the article. Kathleen Hanna once told Problem Patterns that if there was no backlash, then the band was not doing their job properly. So, before we continue with the review itself, let me put this additional trigger warning for all the gatekeepers that think […]
MoreBedsit is a strange beast. The first thing that hits you about the band is their powerful honesty. They don’t hide behind flowery words and PR hype. They will bare their very soul to you if they can, to show where they come from. They will even let you hear the early demos written on […]
MoreAshes, Ashes EP cover In September 2022 I had a pleasure to review a debut single by the Boston based quartet aptly named Yet To Bloom. “People Pleaser” turned out to be a maverick and I instantly fell in love with the band. I mean it`s hard not to go head -over- heels for a group of Berklee […]
