Suck It And See by Arctic Monkeys | Album Review
This being their fourth band release – whilst under other guises and side projects others have been unleashed – here we have a more mature and subtle sound than previous works. They have already been out and about and impressed many in the press, media and fans. Here it seems that they are simply making music that they currently enjoy creating and performing. Still stylishly sensitive. Still executed with an elegant swagger. Still lyrically cultured. Still Arctic Monkeys.

Counting What Ifs by boyChild ft. Soundmouse | EP Review
With the seraphic vocals of Soundmouse you begin to immediately slumber down, relax and you can feel the weight on your shoulders disperse into the air. The sombre vibe from this ambient electro-acoustic work is filled with minimal yet carefully constructed orchestration with some Burial crackling effects giving it a rawness, an authenticity, even making it moody.

Mona by Mona | Album Review | Official Music Video
I like hearing bands that sound like other bands, but better. Having that little bit more off something whether it be an ecstatic drum beat, a funkier bass, a more frantic guitar riff laden record or more powerful vocal strength.

Rome by Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi ft. Jack White & Norah Jones | Album Review
The thing I like most out of a majority of collaborative works I have heard is that you tend to get the best from one person, the best from another and then they join forces to produce something which is far better than what could have been done by one person alone. Here is Rome.

The Good, The Bad And The Dread by Dreadzone | The Best Of | Album Review
Can you remember your first gig, concert or festival? There you were watching and listening in admiration to this particular band. A momentous occasion in your life that will stay with you forever.

Smother by Wild Beasts | Album Review
One of the best pieces of musical poetry ever released in the whole wide world ever in my opinion is Grace by Jeff Buckley. Imagine what he would be like now if he hadn’t so tragically been taken away from this Earth and also, in a band. Perhaps an unfair comparison in some peoples eyes and/or ears but I believe that the Wild Beasts are a delightful act that have striking similarities to the passed away maestro.

Good For Nothing by Hard-Fi | Single Review
With a touch of northern soul on the intro and the weaving feel of the madchester scene of time gone by this indie band who many of us thought we now gone, Hard-Fi are on the return with a new album, a fresh sound and new focus.

Wounded Rhymes by Lykke Li | Album Review
Angels are in fact, a myth. Not real. Fiction. Made up. Or are angels in fact what we depict to be someone who is or appears to be a divine messenger or a darling beauty? If that is the case, then this is in fact an angel. With a sweet voice of appearing of naive innocence, Lykke Li has the look of an celestial being and a sound to match.

Blow by Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross | EP Review
I seem to be bumping a lot of electro-acoustic work. The perfect stuff for hangovers and comedowns on a Sunday afternoon from the mayhem of the night and early morning just passed before. My darling lady and partner agrees totally being as she has just returned from a ravers reunion with her old school mates. The ‘Blow EP’ by Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross is perfect for this afternoon and any.

Walk The River by Guillemots | Album Review
When listening to lots of music, sometimes I get stuck for words. Trying the find the right descriptive words is not always that easy for me. I can find the right words to use for describing this profound, earnest and affectionate album by the Guillemots. They are the only words I need to use, or their derivatives.
