Violent Skies- Invade/Escape
It is important to note that Violent Skies have donated 100% of the proceeds from their first four singles to the mental health charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). This gives a great insight into the nature of their sound: the Preston-based group combine elements of metal, 90s alt rock, shoegaze and electronic music to […]
The Creature Appeal
First things first, these guys should be proud of themselves. If somebody said to me up and coming indie band. I think, I wonder who inspired you this time? Arctic Monkeys again? But oh I was so wrong with my assumptions these guys have more to them than impersonation of the greats. The Creature Appeal […]
Natalie Shay – Yesterday
The hypnotic, sensual build up to the song plays havoc with your senses, then in her Gabrielle Aplin style voice she captivates your emotions, her higher sweet sounding ranges don’t sound like her own. I do feel she has broadcast some of her own style to the listener but hasn’t this popular Taylor Swiftesque, Gabrielle Aplin, […]
INEGO – Nobody
If you’re looking for an alien-sounded, disco pop song full of surprises, then I suggest you listen to “Nobody” by INEGO. I have to say I was very taken aback by the prepossessing vocals – from the sound of the introduction I was expecting an instrumental, sci-fi tune. With masks in the video, which remind […]
Toni Sansara
“You Don’t Own Me” begins with some haunting chords on piano. Immediately Toni’s voice touches your soul – powerful and insightful. It’s always very refreshing to listen to little-known female singers with incredible talent and prospects. The electric guitar comes in at the perfect part – building to the crescendo of the chorus as the […]
Delights are a delight…
This charming band from Manchester approached me, I can honestly tell you that clicking play on their song Jungle was one of the best things I did. They seem so laid back but so enthusiastic, I love, love, love their sound, heavy indie vibes, with a sense of a calming beach jam. This is a […]
Mimoza – Love for Days
We’re deeply stuck amid a familiar January chill, so what better to listen to on our morning commutes than some summer pop anthems about true love? I can advise you where to start: Mimoza’s “Love for Days”. It is nothing but a true, catchy pop anthem. I enjoyed the catchy lyrics that I had stuck […]
The Rose Affair – Blush
The song has a very slow introduction, in which instruments echo and gradually build up louder and louder until they reach a breaking point where the drums then intercept. We are welcomed in with a lyrical pattern of slight rhyming couplets that continue with a soft yet powerful voice which instantly takes over, this slightly […]
Yvng Nova – Coming Through
Rarely, as an Englishman, do you discover music as raw and gritty as our British Grime is. Notorious for its unfiltered grit, and intensity, it’s production is so finitely distinguished and unique in its own right. That being said, I must start by giving my props and congratulations to the producer of Yvng Novas track: […]
ELASTIC DINOSAUR
Elastic Dinosaur comprise of lead singer and guitarist, Cory Foster, bass guitar player Ben Gardner and drummer Sam Tempest. That isn’t a Ringo Star type of deal either, Sam Tempest is the drummer’s real name. Good start boys. Originally from Accrington and the neighbouring villages of Hyndburn, Lancashire, this very heavy rock – metal rock influenced, […]
