Old habits Di’ hard

Diana Vickers, Leadmill, Sheffield, Monday 17th May

Oh Diana Vickers. One of the many Marmites of the music world. Some of you may be able to hark back to the X Factor days, a competition in which the self-named “The Vickerage” ranked 4th in the final. Wooing some with her youthful, bare-footed, messy-blonde-haired, rasping-voiced naivety and sending others running […]

The XX : Album Review

At first glance The XX may look like another group of your average gothic hipsters who believe that there is only one colour any self respecting band should ever been seen in. But beyond the poker faces and singular dress sense lurks a talent that places this South–London three piece way ahead of their peers.
Their […]

Frightened Rabbit : Instore Gigs, March 2010

My first introduction to Frightened Rabbit was a text from a friend. I can’t remember the exact words he used, but his focus was on the vocals, their passionate yet fragile intensity, as though always on the verge of cracking. On first hearing their music it was evident my friend’s description had been accurate – the voice was […]

Introducing: We Buy Gold

Claiming to be a ‘High energy fusion of post punk, cockney, rock, rap with a flavour of drum of bass’, We Buy Gold seem to cover a large spectrum of the music genre. It is not until you actually hear any of their material, that you cannot seem to categorise them into fitting into one specific genre […]

Manchester loves you KISS

KISS, Taking Dawn – Manchester MEN Arena, 10th May 2010-05-11

When asked to write a review I could just use two words to describe this concert. Bloody Awesome, but really, that wouldn’t do the show any justice. So here goes with my review.
Arriving at the MEN, we eventually managed to park in the car park. £9 to park […]

Black City Review

Debut album from Danish band Black City combines great rhythms, clever production and catchy tunes, that will have you humming a long, long time after you’ve had your first taste of these four guys!
First track on their album (which is also their first single) is a straightforward rocker called Summertime and a perfect introduction to their music: it’s rocking, […]

Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll...oh and a little underground club in Cardiff!

Keep music live @ Submission bar, Cardiff.
Thursday, 25th March.
They say the music industries dying. With the influx of manufactured, Simon Cowell productions clogging up the charts and airwaves in recent years, it’s easy to see why people would say this. I, however, believe it’s very much alive and it’s living and breathing in the music venues, […]
