Rating - 4/5 1920’s big band jazz, 12 bar blues, Duke Ellington. A good base for a classic playlist. Throw in garage, grime and huge dance floor fillers, industrial synth and booming bass and you’ve potentially made a massive mess. Or have you? City of Sin, the sophomore album from Dutty Moonshine Big Band is... Continue Reading →

Released - 27th March 2020 Rating - 5/5 Local Honey is the third solo album from Brian Fallon, the lead singer of the Gaslight Anthem.
