Rating - 5/5 Find them at: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music "This record is a poignant tribute to humantiy's flaws" As we approach this year’s non-existent festival season, it can be easy to feel sombre and morose. However, whilst Bristol duo, Yard Arms, may be the ideal band... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 Graywave is a name you that would come to mind when considering who has been confidently producing some fundamental and excellent displays of Shoegaze in recent times. However, Jess Webberly has made her return and has crafted a dream-pop classic that should be a listening priority this summer and forever. Escapism is... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 Inverness outfit Isolates have already proven they are capable of writing a brilliant song or two with debut single Frost, and followup, Forces. But Hollow, their debut album, shows this was no fluke, and they have plenty more to offer. Hollow consists of seven tracks, including Frost and Forces, and clearly takes... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 Colour is the newest single from James Humphreys upcoming EP Memory Place, which lands on the 10th June 2020. It’s the follow up to his 2017 release Sun Mantra and the intervening three years have taken him to the Albert Hall, Glastonbury and then a cruise ship? Time on the waves has... Continue Reading →
Rating - 3.5/5 “Gutter” attempts to combine the best of the best modern British rock movement with 80’s Punk inspired guitar work for good measure. Holding Out has produced an interesting and engaging experience with "Gutter". The opening sample adds some excellent speculation about what is to come. A Black Flag inspired distorted riff is...

Rating - 2/5 I’ll start by saying I am a fan of the 1975, and think their albums have been creative and of quality so far. Of course, this means new projects carry pressure and when seeing the, let’s say, ‘mixed’ feelings for the new album, I was ready for a departure from what’s gone... Continue Reading →

The debut album “Leave It All Behind” from Birmingham based goth-pop... Continue Reading →
Rating - 4/5 Today’s single is a treatise on sociopolitical behavior from a man named Barry. Wait, don’t run off screaming just yet. Non Cannon aka Barry Dolan (he of Oxygen Thief) is bringing his follow up album after a four-year break. Imaginatively titled Non Cannon II and released on May 15th, the album covers...

Rating - 4/5 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/EstateUK/ Atmospheric sounds and jangly reverb abound in Estate’s latest release ‘Losing Myself’; it’s another strong effort from the Telford four-piece who added another string to their bow with this single being named as BBC Shropshire’s Track of the Week. The hazy soundscape lends itself nicely to the lyricism which... Continue Reading →
