The City Calls - Truth Or Dare

Truth Or Dare is the new single by Southampton Four Piece The City Calls. This is my first time listening to the band and I have to say its fits very well into the realms of the Pop Punk genre.
The song starts with a catchy riff before the drums come crashing in and some nimble bass playing, […]

Pandora's Box UK Number 1 Covers

As well as vocal harmonies being strong point in Pandora’s Box skill set, they are also imaginative with the arrangements of their accompanying instruments. This makes it easy for them to create original sounding songs from the wide variety of music from the pop charts. The Hertfordshire based folk pop band have been creating their […]

Have the saviours really arrived?

As you all probably know, Oasis split over a year ago. Since then, people have been waiting anxiously for the next great British band to come along and take over where they left off. But as promising new bands sunk within months, unable to live up to their hype, It was beginning to look as if […]

It's Time for Dancing

‘Don’t think I won’t do it. I will come out there and get you dancing.’ The audience looks slightly dumbfounded at this proclamation coming from the Eleven 37’s stage. ‘I’ve got a megaphone and I am prepared to use it.’
Though unsure of a how a megaphone would have assisted Jamie Topp, lead vocalist of the band, with this particular challenge, the determination […]

Introducing : The Last Men

Music, just like life itself, evolves. Moving freely from genre to genre, form to form. In the early years of this decade if you weren’t wearing skinny jeans and a low-cut vest top, hanging round Camden nightclubs, smoking roll-up cigarettes you weren’t a cool band. Countless bands sounding like The Strokes and The Libertines started to emerge […]

Go Go Vivian Girls!

I have a soft spot in my heart for girl bands; maybe because there’s still that eight-year-old inside of me who dreamed about a quick future in the music world, pulling some raging frontman shapes in front of the bedroom mirror while singing the Spice Girls. And yet it’s really hard to find a girl band who I genuinely […]

Do you find yourself missing the past days of the young Britney? Longing for a bottled-genie Christina or maybe you find sanctuary with the more recent Kelly Clarkson? If you have an open relationship with those innocent pop days, or perhaps their more so your guilty pleasure, either way Steph Horne fits the bill, incorporating features […]

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 […]
