Just Watch: Isaac Gracie – Broken Wheel
Isaac Gracie – Broken Wheel Words: Rachel Allen ‘Broken wheel’ is a title I expected to hold a melancholy tune – but far be it for Isaac Gracie’s new release.

Just Watch: Bloxx – Monday
Bloxx – Monday Words: Daniel Burton After every song Bloxx have released, despite my love and massive backing of the Uxbridge four-piece, I am always sceptical as to whether they can pull another hit out of the bag after setting the bar so high with prior songs. All of their releases so far have had … Continue reading
JUST WATCH: Sisteray – Wannabee
Sisteray – Wannabee Words: Gary Lambert The latest release from London’s Sisteray is a controlled piece of punk rock which takes the vigour and power of the four-piece, but harnesses the kinetic energy in order to create a track which pulsates and electrifies without losing the tune within the fuzz and scuzz you would usually … Continue reading
Just Listen: Pretty Vicious – Move
Pretty Vicious – Move Words: Gary Lambert Raw, angry, buzzsaw guitars are the catalyst to make Pretty Vicious move through this snapshot of punk rock.

Estrons – Lilac Words: Nick Jacques Following on from the previous impressive efforts of Glasgow Kisses and Strobe Lights, more heart-on-a-sleeve, adrenaline-fuelled punk-pop is served on a plate yet again from Cardiff’s hottest talent Estrons.

Just Watch: Fil Bo Riva – Head Sonata (Love Control)
Fil Bo Riva People can write and sing great songs but add an extraordinary vocal and the whole thing takes on another dimension.

Just Listen: Shiners – Just Got Paid
Shiners Words: Elena Katrina If I close my eyes when listening Just Got Paid by Shiners I’m not entirely sure what year it is, let alone what decade. Take a massive leap back into the 90s with me folks – this has early Blur written all over it (personally, early Blur is my fave Blur) … 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.
