Do you know that simulation of joy? Found in smiles of people around you or in the tracks of bands that your friend has told you about and claim they are best in the world. I don’t know about you guys, but personally, I hate those things.
There’s nothing to be worried about here though, I Call Fives really […]
With a name that would strike fear in the hearts of most people in today’s technology times, The Blue Screen of Death is instantly interesting. Indeed this transgresses well into their music, not only in sound but more generally in their style and the atmosphere their music creates.
Opener Let It Go sets you up to do […]
Released on the 1st November was the American steel string guitarist Kyle Fosburgh’s second solo guitar album, The Traveller’s Journey. This is a rare type of album in that it is in the tradition of the solo instrument genre. It is almost like the modern day version of Bach’s Partitas or Paganini’s Caprices but following in […]
This month, from Manchester’s soil springs Brit Rock band The Words’ debut album, Truth and Faith.
The album is a surprising one, and by that I mean surprising in a good way, it’s a good solid fashioned rock music release. Honest lyrics, homely imagery and understated but mature guitar work.
On the cd you will find none of the kind of disjointed […]
On the 16th of October 2011 an album was released, the importance of which is, I believe, unsurpassed in the world of hip-hop. The artist is Lowkey – an idol to some, and unknown to the others. The album is Soundtrack to the Struggle.

After a five year hiatus, Irish band Saso, known best to some as “those guys from the Coors Light advert*” return to their dark musical roots with their fourth album Exitudes.
A slow, languishing album, it never reaches the particular heights that would highlight any one song as a potential single, instead weaving between styles to present an […]
Ed Sheeran is like marmite. Following the release of his No.1 single The A Team, either you’re an 11–16 year old girl madly in love with him and a hardcore dedicated fan omfg he’s so hot and talented and amazing and he’s your future husband, or you’re every other age male or female and think he’s just another […]
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 […]
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, […]
The epic monument for post hardcore from Texas
American post hardcore guys Memphis May Fire claim that the new third album is about to set Memphis on fire again and they believe this latest album is more powerful than 2009’s Sleepwalking and 2010’s Between the Lies.
While in the previous albums clean vocals and guitars smell sometimes […]
