Paper Jackets – Trigger
I wish I had discovered this band sooner. With vocals and music reminiscent of the band ‘Lawson’ and genres extending from alternative rock to pop – I think there is definitely a place in the industry for this 6-piece band. There are plenty of time lapse shots in the music video, but none that change […]
Vinci Tommy T
The latest E.P. from Vinci Tommy T comes gift wrapped, celebrating the 25th birthday of the Congolese rapper, now based in Cambridge U.K, with roots in France and also an upbringing in The Netherlands. His broad geographical history is relevant as it shines through in his vocal style and flow, instantly setting him apart from […]
Akira
For US singer/songwriter Akira there was always a desire to immerse himself within the realm of entertainment, inspired by Shakira (witness his name – a play on hers) his first love was dance where he would spend endless hours learning choreography and performing for school peers. He says: ‘it was around the age of 13 […]
Plested
I had listened to Plested before, but never in depth, so I was in for a positive surprise when I discovered he was the opening act for Lauren Aquilina at The Deaf Institute. Just him and a guitar, with strumming patterns that amateur guitarists/ singer songwriters would not find hard to pick up (perhaps like […]
Lauren Aquilina – Deaf Institute
As well as being a passionate music reviewer, I am also part of many “fandoms”. Fandoms are basically kingdoms of fans – ranging from Sherlockians (Sherlock fans) to Swifties (Taylor Swift fans). One fandom I have joyfully been a part of since around 2016 has been Lauren Aquilina’s. I’d seen her name floating about on […]
Trapdoor Social – The Move
“The Move” is a song that can only be described as unbounded by a true genre, filled with infectious, panned guitars and memorable, hard-hitting lyrics such as “We can be the problem, or we can solve it”. This Los Angeles based band are known for producing solar-powered concerts – that’s a brilliant idea, isn’t it? […]
Nina Nesbitt
Over a month ago, Scottish singer song-writer Nina Nesbitt released her anticipated second album, ‘The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change’. We, (The Nesbians), have waited around three years for new, published music from Nina and, as we all expected it to be, it was worth the wait. Whilst the genres and lyrical […]
Skye Wallace -Coal in Your Window
Song writing at its best – I’m told that Skye Wallace wrote this song inspired by a story about a boy in an old, cottage hospital that would throw coal at his lover’s window to beckon her down. Whilst it’s not quite Romeo and Juliet esque, it inspired a plucky and spirited song. This is […]

The Aces
We recently had the chance to check out The Aces in San Diego, CA. The first thing that stood out about this show before the band even took the stage was their fan base. They started lining up early in the morning to try and be front row, and once doors opened they raced down […]
