The Eleventh Hour by The Birthday Suit | Album Review w/ Free Download
From sweet harmonies with pure heartfelt passion to passive-aggressive melodic statements, this album is almost a musical montage paying homage to bands we should all be into by now whether they be more indie-rock or acoustic-folk artists.
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.
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.
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.
Painters Hands and a Seventh Son by Courtney Marie Andrews
This girl may sound sweet like chocolate but if it was perhaps “one of those days” then I swear there is the power here to destroy hearts and souls. This is special.
Gurrumul by Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu | Album Review
World Music is not as mainstream as some would like it to be. Fortunately, Jools Holland introduces us to artists and groups that have travelled miles to be able to deliver some true, cultural quality.
XX by The XX | Album Review
This is one of those must-have albums for rainy, windy, snowy or sunny days. Definately for a Sunday chill-out. In fact, it almost feels mandatory.
Two Dancers by Wild Beasts | Album Review
It is not very often you feel immediately ambuscaded into a sound, surrounded by the tenderness that the vocalist from the Wild Beasts’ Hayden Thorpe produces with such passive vehemence.
Lungs by Florence and The Machine | Album Review
Florence Welch has a delectable voice full of passion, power and screams out her soul beautifully with harmony, strength and subtlety. Her range is quite impressive with lyrics that are honest, epical and anapestic.
Introducing | Nina Schofield
After many, many a random MySpace friend request received, sometimes, something comes through that really is quite a treasure.
