Hopes Die Last Gig Review

This gig was, in theory, one that had the perfect line-up. Coming all the way from Australia, Hands Like Houses have been making waves on the UK circuit for a while now and everyone was pretty eager to catch them live. So when The Elijah and Violet were added to the line-up too, it was a gig […]

The Low Suns : Never Gonna Care

The Low Suns are a five piece band whose influences range from Jeff Buckley, The Flaming Lips, 1940s Gospel and sci-fi soundtracks. Now, that may sound like quite a varied mix but the music they produce is something inspiring.

Like many great artists, poets, musicians and writers, Nick Drake only achieved the fame and recognition he desired after his untimely death. In a cruel case of life imitating art the lyrics to Fruit Tree, from his 1968 debut album Five Leaves Left, seemed more prescient than ever as he sang “No-one knows you but […]

Back to Black

Inundated with powerfully voiced, female artists, the British music industry in 2006 was an era dominated by Déjà vu lyrics, Aguilera’s comeback album, Back to Basics, and not to forget, Girls Aloud were still on top. With that said, it was surprising that a young woman from North London would come on the scene, so breathtakingly, […]
