The Glass Child – Alone With You
Alt pop artist, The Glass Child, has released a new single called, ‘Alone With You.’ Reminiscent of early 2000s pop, the song is moody and mysterious, highlighting The Glass Child’s distinct vocals and production stylings. ‘Alone With You’, which premiered via Earmilk, will be featured on The Glass Child’s upcoming album, due out later this […]
Jack Gill – One Day
This track is catchy and full of wonderful imagery, “clear skies and warm sunny days”. It creates both a sense of foreboding and wonder with the acoustic strumming complimented by the electric notes. Gill’s voice is tough and powerful, “nearly time for me to leave this ole town”. The sense of cohesiveness implies the genre […]
The Tallest Man on Earth @The Albert Hall, Manchester (09/11/2019)
Putting an end to his five-date tour throughout the UK, The Tallest Man on Earth crammed himself and his huge live show into Manchester’s grand Albert Hall. His head didn’t quite reach the ceiling but his performance certainly raised the roof. Sturdily supporting the swift Swede was American singer, songwriter and guitarist, Julie Byrne. As […]
Wolfblood Moonshine @ Night and Day Cafe Manchester
Hearing the distant buzz of a rock band down Oldham Street drew me in like a moth to a flame. It beckoned me in to the dimly lit, yet cosy cove through the front door of Night and Day Cafe. The vintage feeling the venue brings a brilliant travelling sound with a corridor style layout […]
Luna Rosa – MK Ultra
Luna Rosa offers up a rocky, alternative piece in the form of their new single “MK Ultra”. The lead singers’ gritty voice provides a mettlesome tone to the track on top of the daring electric guitar. The driving rhythm builds up to a passionate, high energy chorus that’s very in keeping with the group’s previous […]
Polar States live @ Jimmy’s Manchester
This vibrant night took place at a rather intimate venue. Rammed full of people, even on my press pass I struggled to make it beyond the towering staircase in to the room. I had to squeeze past several longing fans and soon got used to the burning eyes in the back of my head from […]
Olive B – Playmate
Emotional, empowering and non-emasculated by over-production; Playmate is a heartfelt and memorable piece of art. “You could be my soul mate” and “I could do you right even in the wrong way” help set the tone of vulnerability. The indie pop/ R&B beats alongside the slightly sarcastic yet intimate lyrics help to ensure the hooks […]
Beak> @SWX
Another 3hr commute left me marvelling at the wonders of the West Country, debating whether it was worth a £50 train ticket to see Beak> in the flesh. After wandering around dense-headed for an hour or so I fell inside Bristol’s seemingly inherent calmness; no sense of urgency in this city, even at rush hour. First […]
Alfa Mist @ Gorilla
Meticulously crafted emotional dramatic jazz lashed with classical soundtrack / hip-hop elements to create great urban modern yet timeless soundscapes. In many too many words a description of what you can expect from Newham’s melancholy mastermind, though language was unnecessary when Alfa plonked into his seat at the keys, all instruments concentric upon his sturdy […]
