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.

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 →
Rating - 2.5/5 t’s been 3 years since the last offering from The Dears but they’re back with more of their signature indie-pop sound. Their breakthrough album No Cities Left was formed in the crucible of the post 9/11 world, and Lovers Rock emerges in a political and social landscape that is as turbulent, if... Continue Reading →
