Just Listen: Wyldest – Headrush
Wyldest – Headrush Words: Rachel Allen Being a cold, windy, autumnal evening when apparently storm ‘Callum’ (who thinks up these names?!) has come to play, what better a soundtrack than the eerie, ambient soundscapes of London trio Wyldest’s latest track ‘Headrush.’ Taken off their debut album ‘Dream Chaos’, ‘Headrush’ speaks through its almost hypnotically driving … Continue reading
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.

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
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
