Just Listen: John Joseph Brill – False Names
John Joseph Brill I’ve had the absolute pleasure of 5 minutes in this man’s company as well as seeing him live and hearing his debut track way ahead of ever getting it in my inbox from a PR company. John Joseph Brill has a voice that more than matches his stature and appearance: manly and … Continue reading
Just Listen: Catholic Action – L.U.V
Catholic Action Words: Gary Feeney It seems like Catholic Action have been playing in and around their native Glasgow for ages now, garnering a reputation as a must-see live act in a local scene that is as high in standard as it is in variety and depth. As such, it feels a little strange that … Continue reading
Just Listen: Marsicans – Arms Of Another
Marsicans I have come to the conclusion that people who are banging on about a lack of guitar music have no idea what they are saying. I say this because there’s loads of it and some of it is fabulous. Some of it is scuzzy rock n roll influenced, some of it is shoegaze psychedelia … Continue reading
Just Listen: Fatherson – Lost Little Boys
Fatherson Fatherson are back with their first new track of 2016. And they bring with them their full arsenal of musical weapons. Lost Little Boys is an indie rock track which is destined to put them on the map. One of our ones to watch this year, besides us banging on about them for years, … Continue reading
Just Listen: Skies – Drone
Skies Skies have produced an electro-pop track that just sings to me. Drone has everything I love in this kind of a track – it has an epic-ness to it; the build, the drop, the soothing to the powerful, the fractiousness between the fun in parts of the electronic track versus the deepness of emotion … Continue reading
Album Review: Night Beats – Who Sold My Generation
Who Sold My Generation Released 29th January 2016 Words: Sion Ford Perhaps they’re not one of the most prominent bands of the garage rock scene, but Night Beats are definitely a band that should be on people’s radars, especially with the release of their third album, Who Stole My Generation. Keeping themselves in that slightly … Continue reading
Just Listen: Viola Beach – Boys That Sing
Viola Beach Now seems like a new era of the indie band and one of the best around is Warrington’s Viola Beach. With much loved jingly jangly guitars and catchy melodies that can, well quite frankly, be sung along by anyone they give us their latest single Boys That Sing. I reckon this will be … Continue reading
Just Listen: Wølffe – Trouble Ahead
Wølffe It’s the eerie tone of Trouble Ahead by Wølffe that brings this track to life; gives it edge and creates an atmosphere of discomfort. It’s brooding rather than bleak and the enticing vocals take off soaring across the musical landscape giving an additional dimension to this perfect slap of electronica. Find Wølffe on Facebook … Continue reading
Just Listen: Estrons – Aliens
Estrons Welsh Female fronted four piece Estrons have made a few of the ones to watch lists for 2016 and it’s easy to see why when you listen to any of their tracks including the latest, Aliens. It’s certainly no three minuite pop song, rather an excursion that cleverly and seductively pulls you into a … Continue reading
Just Watch: Hayley Cannon – Who Are You
Hayley Cannon Hayley Cannon released her track Who Are You back in 2015 and toward the end of the year the video surfaced. It’s been such a long time since we posted some really strong folk music and this fits the bill. It’s punchy yet haunting and filled with passionate emotion. The video is also … Continue reading
Just Watch: Tom Speight – Little Love
Tom Speight Watch the video for Little Love here: My first proper introduction to Tom Speight was when I saw him play a very intimate set for Sofar Sounds in 2014 and since then he’s kind of passed me by. Until today someone tweeted me the link to the video for Little Love and as … Continue reading

Oh and he is most definitely … Continue reading
Just Watch: Katie And I – Wolves (Live)
Katie And I With the simplicity of two voices and one piano Katie And I manage to create one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in such a long time. With the most delicate graceful movement the track builds in passion through the outpouring of emotion that is carried in the vocal. The … Continue reading

EP Review: Luna Rosa – Luna Rosa
Luna Rosa Released November 7th 2015 Words: Siôn Ford Their name sounds pleasant enough, encouraging you down the misleading path of thinking Luna Rosa – translation “Pink Moon” – will be some nice-enough band; the truth is quite the opposite. Hailing from Corby in Northamptonshire, the group actually specialise in a blue collar noise rock … Continue reading
