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, […]
King Zero – Sonic
Even by my limited rock music knowledge, I can assure you that this band firmly have their feet in that genre. The introductory song of “Sonic”, named “Black Stoned Heart”, immediately encompasses me with an attention-grabbing collaboration of fuzzy guitars and erratic drums. As strange as it may sound, the closest thing I can describe […]
Gio – Better Than I Know Myself
You hear it said, that music can often be a reflection of ones surroundings. This quote is exemplified perfectly in GIO’s: Better Than I Know Myself. The New Jersey based, R&B artist, gives us an insight into his signature Lo-Fi timbre, and emotional depth in lyricism, and boy do we love it. New Jersey has […]
David Shurr- New Album
Here’s no time for a moment of hesitation – with David Shurr you’re pushed to the front row of storytelling headquarters. There’s a bit of a cowboy and western tone, the perfect accompanist for the nature fuelled songs. The album artwork for “O Great Willow” mimics a hand drawn or chalked drawing which I think […]
Highland Park Creative – Feel Like You Do
Highland Park Creative’s ‘Feel Like You Do’ feels like a nod to star DJs like David Guetta and Avicii with the club anthem style chorus that has the potential to ring in your head for hours after listening. The beats take you on a journey that most three-minute songs would struggle to do. A Trip-hop […]
Blossoms @ Victoria Warehouse
It was a pleasant surprise to learn I had got a guest list pass for a completely sold out gig. I can honestly say Blossoms as a whole were so friendly and welcoming. I walked straight in to the dressing room and Josh was steaming his outfit for the night. “Proper charity shop style.” The […]
Bedhair – Happy Thoughts
The start of the song reminds me of the start of the song 7 Nation Army, this is because the song begins rather quietly then builds up and up with more and more enthusiasm being injected in to it. The title being Happy Thoughts, actually does up lift you and make you happier. The most unusual […]
Cavey – About To Start
I was hooked from the second I heard this seductive, bluesy ballad. It could almost be a protagonist’s theme song in an action movie. It could also be a soul-refined waltz. It could be… just about anything. The wailing guitars almost echo the singer’s sentiment of what it is to be an artist. Not all […]
Yvng Nova- RLT, Vol 2
I am gravitated towards the beautiful backing of Yvng Nova’s track. His voice is confident and clear, it’s soothing. It does remind me of an artist called Rationale with the way the track’s drum beats hit right at a certain time to emphasise the lyrics. The rapper has a brilliant lyrical flow, he knows when […]
