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
Just Listen: Marcus Foster – Between The Trees
Marcus Foster Marcus Foster makes a very much welcome return after over a year without any new music with new track Between The Trees. As one of my favourite artists of the past four or so years this track couldn’t have come soon enough. It’s a barrage of blues ridden angst. The track builds its … Continue reading

Ones To Watch 2016
Ones To Watch 2016 Well it seems our 2015 ones to watch saw some bands disappear into the ether while others absolutely grabbed it and ran with it – what can we say our tip of Jack Garratt was a whole year early and Blossoms have done extremely well! So what for next year? Well … Continue reading

Live Review: Vintage Trouble, London
Vintage Trouble 17th November, London, Kentish Town Forum Words: Greg Arthur I missed Vintage Trouble at Glastonbury due to the bananas scheduling (and walking), I didn’t go to see AC/DC this summer, so missed them there, and all I’ve seen is a Fender basement session and a few highlights from the BBC coverage at Glasto … Continue reading

Banners Listen to Start A Riot here: Sometimes it’s very very clear to me who is doing exactly what they should be doing and even though we’ve not published it yet, I’m giving you a heads up that Banners is most definitely on our ones to watch for 2016.

EP Review: Otherkin – The 201
The 201 EP Words: Gary Feeney From the minute I clicked on Otherkin’s Soundcloud page to listen to their The 201 E.P, I had a reasonable idea of what to expect from their profile picture: all leather jackets, sweaty hair and bare chests, they look every inch a band from the same cloth as acts … Continue reading

The band have been out of the game for around a year, time flies! There’s something really rich and warm to the music despite the fact that it is often … Continue reading
