Twenty-Five years ago the greatest death metal album was given to the world. Symbolic by Death is a journey.

Rating - 4/5 Birmingham singer-songwriter “Graywave” is fulfilling the vacancy of the emo inspired shoegaze sound that has fallen flat in recent times. Two-track EP “Growing garden” combines elements of the highest points of new wave shoegaze while making it her own at the same time. These two tracks are a great installment into what...

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 →
