Rating - 3/5 Twitter: https://twitter.com/thisisnoprism Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thisisnoprism Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisisnoprism/ Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/thisisnoprism Noprism, the synthwave four piece from Newcastle take us back to the heady days of Duran Duran and Human League with aplomb. The vocals lack the saturated darkness of soul of Ian Curtis and the track definitely carries a lighter feel, rather than a... Continue Reading →
A Year of Coping: Casa Loma
We are halfway through 2021 and sometimes I feel like we still get stuck reminiscing on how rough 2020 was. Now it is definitely easy to sit and go on about how hard last year was, but I don’t think we need any more reminders, or articles for that matter, dissecting the hardships of 2020....

Reviewed – Silvertwin -You Only
Rating - 5/5 In anticipation of their self-titled debut album, London quintet Silvertwin brings us their single ‘You Only’; it’s a sun-drenched slice of 70s soft rock, heavily influenced by the West Coast Beach-Boy aesthetic and the subsequent yacht rock artists that followed in their wake. The vocals carry with them the smooth melodic quality... Continue Reading →
Things are “Better When” you listen to Séamus Scanlan.
Today we are heading out west with our headphones on to sunny California. There we find, who I like to consider, the Ben Howard of the states. His name is Séamus Scanlan and he seems to have a knack for creating soul-feeding, musical masterpieces. Though Séamus resides in San Diego, he is a born and raised... Continue Reading →
Reviewed – Charmist – Consider This
Rating - 4/5 Charmist comprises two Adams, White and Jackson, who after being aware of each other for a couple of years properly started collaborating in the spring of 2020. “Consider This” is their first single. And it's good. The opening is slightly incongruous with the remainder, it's very trance piano in it's sound and... Continue Reading →
Reviewed – Crazy Arm – Fear Up
Rating - 3.5/5 The latest single from the new album “Dark Hands, Thunderbolts” Crazy Arm delivers us Fear Up. It’s a punk western romp that blends Dropkick Murphys and Ennio Morricone. I’ll bet you didn’t know you needed that but you do. Coming from a dark enough place, the name of the single is actually... Continue Reading →

Reviewed – Frank Turner and Jon Snodgrass – Buddies II Still Buddies
Rating - 4/5 Kazoo-wielding pals Frank Turner and Jon Snodgrass have reunited after 10 years to create the feel-good sequel to the original cult-favourite ‘Buddies’, a light-hearted album borne from whisky and friendship that interestingly weaves their own amusing commentary throughout the tracks. Most importantly, it was all written and recorded in just one day.... Continue Reading →
Reviewed – Killer Be Killed – Reluctant Hero
Rating - 4/5 ‘Reluctant Hero’ is the latest offering from heavy metal supergroup Killer Be Killed. They are veterans of their own respective groups (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Sepultura, Converge and Mastodon), not to mention individual collaborations with rock and metal groups too numerous to name; chances are one of these guys will have had...
