Just Listen: Whitecliff – Young Lovers
Whitecliff Listen to Young Lovers here: Young Lovers is taken from Whitecliff’s upcoming EP of the same name, due for release on 2nd of Ocotober. I’m always honest and so I don’t have a problem admitting that the first few bars of this indie smasher didn’t really do anything for me. There was nothing immediately … Continue reading
Just Listen: Aquilo – Good Girl
Aquilo Listen to Good Girl here: A slight departure from their slower, cinematic and more intense melodious efforts, Aquilo take the notch up a fair bit with new single Good Girl. I’m not sure, in all honesty that this style does their stunning vocal and harmonies much justice but it’s more than a good hand … Continue reading

Just Listen Saltwater Sun – Making Eyes
Saltwater Sun Listen to Making Eyes here: Sometimes it feels like bands just churn out track after track after track and other times it feels like it’s been an absolute age until they drip feed us some more of their musical medicine. It’s not really been that long since Saltwater Sun delivered but long enough … Continue reading
Just Listen: Black Honey – Corrine
Black Honey Listen to Corrine here: I refuse to be swayed on Black Honey. As far as I am concerned there’s not a bad word to be said about them. They make me feel like I’m happily drunk and spinning around and around in a very fuzzy 60s dream world where I have mascara running … Continue reading

Just Listen: Folded Like Fabric – You Said
Folded Like Fabric Listen to You Said here: Folded Like Fabric provide an abundance of texture and contrasts in their new track You Said, lifted from their debut EP I Tried.

Just Listen: The Japanese House – Cool Blue
The Japanese House Listen to Cool Blue here: The vocal layering on Cool Blue against the repetitive guitar at the start of this track is a damn smart move by The Japanese House because it grabs your attention but in an undemanding way. It captures the imagination and before it gets a chance to become … Continue reading
Just Watch: The Big Moon – The Road
The Big Moon Watch the video for The Road here: The Big Moon aren’t the kind of band who scream and shout “look at us look at us”. No. What they do is much more subtle than that. They’re ninjas. Their sounds casually attack you when you least expect it. The Road does just that … Continue reading
Just Watch: BANNERS – Ghosts
BANNERS Watch the video for Ghosts here: The first time I heard this song BANNERS was called Raines and this song, Ghosts, sent me over the edge. Now it’s picking up some sweet sync deals over in the US so this here amazing video has been made for it and it’s set me off all … Continue reading
Just Listen: Flor – Let Me In
Flor Listen to Let Me In here: The fine folks of Flor have done it again. Their brand new track Let Me In is perfectly balanced electro pop. It begins by being beautifully subtle with delicate vocals which wrap warmly around your ears and heart. Then it breaks out and the hook gets you. The … Continue reading
Just Listen: Kyla La Grange – So Sweet
Kyla La Grange Listen to So Sweet here: Kyla La Grange brings a huge dose of sickly sweet 80s pop to her new track So Sweet. It might sounds oh so sweet and lovely but as if often the case with Miss La Grange, there is an edge to it you just have to kind … Continue reading
Just Listen: Mexico City Blondes – First Cut
Mexico City Blondes Listen to First Cut here: From the first few bars of First Cut by Mexico City Blondes I was hooked and then slowly but surely they dragged me into their world of dreamy silk-like vocals that nestle within a soundtrack that balances on a knife edge of math rock and electronic-psychedelia. First … Continue reading
Festival Review: Bingley Music Live
Bingley Music Live Words and Photos: Gary Lambert There is a stretch of England through the Pennines where Lancashire and Yorkshire are almost indecipherable from each other; where ITV can fit more Sunday night drama into a 60 minutes than happens in a year in reality; and where places can be further north, but nowhere … Continue reading
