Live Review: Pom Poko – London
Pom Poko The Scala, London, 23rd October 2019 Words: Nick Jaques When I rocked up to the familiar sight of the Scala, from the outside amongst the usual buzzing surroundings, there was a lack of activity on the door, which I found a bit precarious as this gig promised to showcase some of the most … Continue reading

The Peach Fuzz Phase One, Liverpool, 18th October 2019 Words & Photos: Elena Katrina This was not the first time I’d seen The Peach Fuzz this year, nor was it the first time I’d seen main support Saytr Play. It was a bit of a dangerous mix and I think, this time, for me the … Continue reading

Ten Tonnes/h2> Electric Brixton, London, 10th October 2019>/h5> Words: Claire Hingley Well, I`ve seen Ten Tonnes so many times, that I’ve actually lost count.

It still … Continue reading

The Big Moon The Lexington, London, October 17th 2019 Words & Photos: Amy Buther Ever since I saw The Big Moon at Standon Calling festival earlier this year I have been obsessed with this four-piece and their music.

Just Listen: Electric Enemy – Save Me
Electric Enemy – Save Me Words: Amy Butcher Opening with melancholic guitar melodies and singer Jim’s impressive vocals, Electric Enemy have returned with another fantastic single following debut ‘Climb’.

Just Listen: Corella – Come Around
Corella – Come Around Words: Amy Butcher After seeing Corella support Larkin’s at Colours Hoxton , I’ve been hooked on their serene, jangly guitar sound. ‘Come Around’ is a refreshing track from start to finish, and is a somewhat familiar yet new sound from the 4 piece.

Just Listen: FEET – Dog Walking
FEET – Dog Walking Words: Amy Butcher The first time I heard this track, ironically enough, I was walking. ‘Dog Walking’ from FEET is a fantastically interesting song about walking your dogs. The melancholic repetitive ‘ooohs’ and jangly guitar melodies put you in a euphoric daze that’s anything but soporific. I’m still new to FEET, … Continue reading
Just Listen: The Ninth Wave – Human Behaviour
The Ninth Wave – Human Behaviour Words: Elena Katrina The Ninth Wave have found something a little warmer in the latest track Human Behaviour. Don’t get me wrong there’s still the dramatic despair emanating from the vocal of lead singer Haydn.

Just Listen: The Lottery Winners – Hawaii
The Lottery Winners – Hawaii Words: Elena Katrina This isn’t at all what I remember from when I saw The Lottery Winners play live back in May this year. To be fair that’s maybe because what I remember the most was their lead singer being unsure if he was a stand-up comedian or lead singer … Continue reading
Just Watch: Stereo Honey – You Are A Monster
Stereo Honey – You Are A Monster Words: Elena Katrina Oh, Stereo Honey you make my ears so damn happy. You Are A Monster‘s opening moments are like something you’d hear in the ominous score of a thriller movie. It sets the scene perfectly for this tensely phrased track. It’s not long until we’re … Continue reading
Just Listen: SuperGlu – Forever Endeavour
SuperGlu – Forever Endeavour Words: Elena Katrina Listening to the new SuperGlu track I’m immediately taken back to the excitement I felt when I first heard them, and when I first saw them.
