I 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 […]
MoreOfficial bio: Belched out of the South Birmingham canals in 2015, Bad Girlfriend is a restless three piece with its roots firmly in garage punk tied together with a healthy dose of psychedelia. Combining in a cacophonous whirlwind of fuzz Bad Girlfriend is made up of raucously energetic shredding frontman Connor Hemming, underpinned by the […]
MoreWhen asked about the Birmingham music scene people will mention Black Sabbath, Duran Duran and UB 40. But just think for a while and you will agree. There is no Birmingham scene without UK`s most successful all female band – We’ve Got a Fuzzbox and We’re Gonna Use It!! Often shortened to just FUZZBOX, the […]

MoreI have been sitting on this review for a week, even wrote a full one, then deleted. Not because new offering from Cage Park is a bad one. Rather out of dilemma. How do you objectively review a band that you know in person for years and followed their entire career without sounding biased? I’ve […]

MoreSamuel Lambeth is a well known figure on the West Midland music scene. Over the last decade, the Wolverhampton based musician fronted three local acts (The MonoBloggers in 2009, Quinn in 2017 and recently, the alternative outfit Winona), self released sort of a “greatest hits” album entitled “10 Years on Four Chords: The Best of […]
