EP Review: New Dad – Waves
Waves NewDad Words: Gary Lambert I’ve completely missed out on NewDad before the release of Waves EP, and I truly feel like my life must have been poorer as a result. Their arty dream pop sound is beautiful, intelligent, and as immediate as more traditional sounding pop songs. Each track on the EP is immaculately layered with … Continue reading
EP Review: LibraLibra – Hail Mary
LibraLibra Hail Mary Words by Gary Lambert I work on the rule of thumb that some people are fans of LibraLibra and some people just haven’t heard them yet. With their first EP release Hail Mary, the Brighton-based four-piece are ready to increase their fans once more. If you’re just scanning this article, I’ll save … Continue reading
EP Review: The Academic – Acting My Age
The Academic Acting My Age Words by Amy Butcher Irish four-piece The Academic have been on my radar ever since I first heard Bear Claws from their debut album Tales From The Backseat and I can’t get enough!

EP Review: Tom Swan – The Silver Lining EP
Tom Swan The Silver Lining EP Words by Julia Grantham We are very excited to bring you the very first release from underground artist Tom Swan.

EP Review: Talk Show – These People
Talk Show These People Words by Amy Butcher As a lover of all things live music, I tend to decide if I love a band when seeing them perform live rather than listening to their latest single. This was the case when I first discovered Talk Show supporting Spector last November. They have made a name … Continue reading

EP REVIEW: Neverlanded – Fluffy Unicorns United
Neverland – Fluffy Unicorns United Words: Nicholas Jacques What do the words “Grunge music” evoke in your head? A genre that saved rock music from its death in the late 80s/early 90s? Responsible for churning out many bands in the mid to late 90s and saturating the market? Or creating some of the most gifted … Continue reading
EP Review: Spector – Reloaded
Spector – Reloaded Words: Sammy Sadler I’m a big fan of Spector and everyone knows it. Even they know it.

So naturally you can imagine my inner fangirl reaction when they dropped a new … Continue reading
EP Review: Pizzagirl – Season 2
Pizzagirl – season 2 Words: Megan Berridge Pizza seems to always be delivered by a male courier. Actually, hang on, this applies to most takeaway food services. Ordered a Chinese? Yep, that’s a man knocking at the door. Fancy an Indian? Great! Another opportunity to have a man on your doorstep. Let’s be honest, feminism … Continue reading
EP REVIEW: Strange Cages – Silver Queen
Strange Cages Words: Nicholas Jacques This 4-piece from Brighton dish out a range of sounds that are somehow both entrancing and uncompromising at the same time. This is no more apparent than on the last track ‘The Leeches, The Fakers’ where the climax of the song is so unnerving that it has a rather pungent … Continue reading

Formerly of Spectrals, Jones has released his first self-titled EP today on Fox Food Records and it’s four lush tracks packed with fuzzy vocals and nostalgic instrumentals. Opening … Continue reading
