Phantoms EP by Bird | EP Review | Introducing

As they are edging themselves away from their native West of England port, they are becoming riveted in acoustic shows across the airwaves and building a fanbase of the down-to-Earth, mature souls and I would assume being a comfort to teenage angst.

What The Water Gave Me by Florence And The Machine | Single Review | Official Music Video

It is unmistakably Florence And The Machine. After her small stint with a Rascal and her award winning debut ‘Lungs’, this lady is most definitely welcomed back with open arms.

The Death Of You And Me by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds | Single Review | Official Music Video

The ‘High Flying Birds’ are not 6 air-hostesses, they are all quality musicians in their own right who, in a way, simply asked to be in Noel’s band. The ‘Birds include Mike Roe who played keyboards on the ‘Be Here Now’ tour for Oasis, Russell Pritchard from The Zutons and even a Liverpudlian guitarist named Macca

Bon Iver, Bon Iver by Bon Iver | Album Review

The sweet and serene vocals are similar to the harmonies of the Fleet Foxes and the electro-acoustic, chilled-out melodies are calming, soothing and rather paternal. With twinkling triangles, bicycle bells, electronic sound effects all wrapping around the impeccable acoustic guitaring the overall sound is nothing short of majestic

Ukulele Songs by Eddie Vedder | Album Review

I’ve listened to the album a couple of times this afternoon with the windows open, the sun shining, birds tweeting and the dog barking like mad. The music has been a delight. From tracks such as You’re True, Longing To Belong – both below – and the wonderfully simple and romantic rendition of Dream A Little Dream.

Celebration, Florida by The Felice Brothers | Album Review

To some people, this will be an introduction to a band that they have never heard of. To others it’s just another quality release from the delightfully sincere The Felice Brothers. Ian Felice, James Felice, Christmas, Greg Farley and David Turbeville are the band of two brothers and lifetime good friends stemming from the small community outside of New York in Palenville.

The A Team by Ed Sheeran | The Original, Koan Sound, True Tiger & Shy FX Remixes | Single Review | Official Music Video

New artists are continually coming through and getting noticed. Just lately, there is one chap in particular who is making waves after releasing his first EP which hit the higher spots on a few chart lists without any promotional aid. A rare move nowadays.

BitterSweetHeartAttacks by Great Imitation | Single Review | Official Music Video

Upon first sight and sound in this spit-and-saw dust venue I was expecting the usual. Too loud, unbalanced and still, too loud. Not because I’m getting old or anything – although sometimes I feel it – it’s just that small venues can’t deal with a big sound. What I heard was crisp, refined and borderline insanity.

Mirrorwriting by Jamie Woon | Album Review

I’m struggling to begin with this article. I’m struggling to pigeon-hole this record into the right genre. But that is wrong of me. Music shouldn’t be categorised so easily as there are many variations. Many styles. This debut album by Jamie Woon is certainly one not to be pigeon-holed.

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.

Gold In The Shadow by William Fitzsimmons | Album Review

Every now and then you find yourself a little stressed. A bit worked up. Counting to ten will not work anymore to reduce your heart rate to a suitable level. A holiday is probably on the cards but it’s not always that easy to just jump in the motor, on a train or skip to the nearest terminal with passport in hand to get away from it all.

Iron by Woodkid | EP Review | Official Music Video

Heading along the same lines as The Shoes with their chilled out, warming and heartfelt lyrical electronica. We have a man who is following a similar path who goes by the name of Woodkid. Electro-acoustic I’d say.

Brothers by The Black Keys | Album Review

I am just wondering how an awesome band such as The Black Keys have totally deserted my radar though. I’ve never heard of them up until yesterday. I am entirely overwhelmed by the glorious psychedelic, Bluesy-Rock sound which could put many a 60′s Woodstock band to utter shame. This is superb!

Slash by Slash | Album Review

THE MAN who managed to redefine the unwritten rules of Sex, Drugs and Rock N F’kn Roll is back. This time he’s out with friends on what is actually classed as his first solo album. What an ensemble of friends this guy has.

Black Rock by Joe Bonamassa | Album Review

Black Rock is the latest release from the Blues/Rock guitaring maestro that is, Joe Bonamassa. I could say living legend but if he has only recently passed my ears then I’ve either my head in the sand or his riffs haven’t carried over to me far enough.

Have One On Me by Joanna Newsom

If there was ever a voice that managed to captivate you. Place you into a dumb trance because of the sweet delights released from the vocal chords as well as the delectable vibrations emanating from a glorious harp. This is a voice that will certainly do that. What a trance I am now in.

WHB by We Have Band | Album Review

The electronics are not strong enough nor as prominent to be classed as Electro. The instruments are not hard enough to be classed as Rock, so we have a subtle crossover and a delicate blend between the two.

More Than the Eiffel by Audio Bullys | Album Review

AUDIO BULLYS have returned with their vogue of the ever increasing in populartity, electro-punk. Are they still managing to produce some bombing tunes? With the release of their single Only Man with remixes left, right and centre from all of the colours of the dance music spectrum we do in did, have an absolutely brilliant record.

The Winter Of Mixed Drink by Frightened Rabbit | Album Review

RECENTLY with band such as Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes and here Frightened Rabbit we are blessed to have a great country brimming with talent. More so, Scotland. Glasgow is the home of these boys that bring a stew of wondrous sounds of big, cylindrical drums, piano’s and great harmonies of an orchestral, uplifting feel with the soothing, rawness of the Strathclyde dialect.

Tons Of Friends by Crookers | Album Review

Crude, filthy booms & claps superbly produced, lyrically bouncing with a certain uncouth attitude and sub-level bass under-layed deeply making me question the quality of my speakers.
