Just Watch: The Big Moon – Pull The Other One

The Big Moon Words: Elena Katrina It goes without saying that The Big Moon’s Pull The Other One is no new tune to us, it is, however, one of my faves. Sultry and slow in the majority of it’s vocal delivery with an abundance of teasing harmonies. The video though is another glimpse into the … Continue reading

Just Watch: John Joseph Brill – A Place To Drown

John Joseph Brill Words: Elena Katrina The sounds of John Joseph Brill are no new noise to me, they’re rather a thing of comfort,  despite,  more often than not, the lyrical content is less comforting. Here JJB is joined with a female vocalist whose tone and notes are in total contrast to Brill’s give A … Continue reading

Just Watch: Bloxx – Curtains

Bloxx Words: Elena Katrina I admit, I never thought that I would fall in love with a song named after a household item such as Curtains, but Bloxx have done it. First listen I was in, fully in.

Just Watch: White Fever – Sands

Just Watch: The Orielles – I Only Bought It For The Bottle

The Orielles Words: Charlotte Minett You know the feeling when you buy a drink with the sole reason being that is has a sick bottle and then you realise that it tastes shit, and if you’d have known that you’d have bought another?

Just Watch: Declan McKenna – Humongous

Declan McKenna Words: Charlotte Minett Declan McKenna is back with another single Humongous before the release of his debut album What Do You Think About the Car, out 21st July.

Just Watch: Estrons – Strobe Light

Estrons Words: Nick Jacques It takes a lot for me to get hyped about bands these days. For me they don’t genuinely come along that often because the media big them up so much it hurts and there are so many bands out there that it sometimes feels like the scene gets saturated for too … Continue reading

Just Watch: RedFaces – Wise Up

RedFaces Words: Gary Lambert If I had not seen RedFaces in action, I would be starting conspiracy theories of them being a cartoon band or Milli Vanilli for the modern era.

Just Watch Alex Hulme – Family Tree

Alex Hulme Words: Gary Lambert Alex Hulme’s latest release, Family Tree, has an oxymoronic feel to it. Throughout the three minutes the verses feel both sparse and modern, yet the chorus manages to build into a deep, textured blast which has the structure of very traditional folk music, possibly even religious, but with the power … Continue reading

Just Watch: Glass Caves – Swim

Glass Caves Words: Leander Hobbs Two years after the DIY success of Alive, Glass Caves are back with another single packed full of natural Northern charm.
