Album Review: Immigrant Union – Anyway
Anyway Released 16th September 2014 Words by Nick Jacques One of the first things that strikes you about this album is how this band of Brent De Boer’s seems to have a very strong sound and they’re not just here to make up the numbers of endless folk/pop bands in the never-ending indie stratosphere. This … Continue reading
Album Review: Duologue – Never Get Lost
Never Get Lost Released 8th September 2014 Having spent a great deal of time with Duologue’s debut album Song & Dance and totally falling in love with it I was really eager to get to grips with Never Get Lost.

Album Review: Royal Blood – Royal Blood
Royal Blood Released August 26th 2014 Royal Blood seem to have shot into my life almost out of nowhere. The reason for this is probably that I would normally think this was to heavy for my tastes. It was a chance hearing that turned my head earlier this year and it was there and then … Continue reading
Album Review: Glass Animals – Zaba
Zaba Released June 9th 2014 Time is always at a premium around these parts and an album has to be really special to grab my attention and force me to sit down and really get to grips with it let alone put fingers to keys to write about it. Glass Animals have managed to completely … Continue reading
Album Review: Maximo Park – Too Much Information
Too Much Information Released 3rd February 2014 Somehow I had forgotten about Maximo Park and for that someone should come and give me a good talking to.

Album Review: Hatcham Social – Cutting Up The Present Leaks Out The Future
Cutting Up The Present Leaks Out The Future Released February 17th 2014 How do you tell a band that this is their best album yet without it sounding like you didn’t enjoy the last few?

So Long, See You Tomorrow Released Feb 3rd 2014 Sometimes you hear a song or an album and you literally want to crawl inside and explore. This is exactly what I want to do with So Long, See You Tomorrow because it feels like an adventure from the get go. Not one song sounds the … Continue reading
Album Review: The Rifles – None The Wiser
None The Wiser Released January 20th 2014 And The Rifles are back, again, though this time with their original line up and another great album that really re-affirms that they are quite an understated band in a sea of yawnfests that seem to do better than these guys. Perhaps None The Wiser will finally see … Continue reading
Album Review: Autoheart – Punch
Punch Released 15th July 2013 With an album title such as Punch you could be forgiven for expecting something uplifting and well, punchy and well Autoheart certainly deliver on that within the first track Anniversary.

Album Review: Half Moon Run – Dark Eyes
Dark Eyes Released 1st July 2013 Yet again I’m totally guilty of spending too much time listening to an album and not enough time putting fingers to keys to type this out. For weeks Half Moon Run’s album Dark Eyes has been spinning and spinning over and over in my car stereo. Day after day … Continue reading
Album Review: To Kill A King – Cannibals With Cutlery
Cannibals With Cutlery Released 24th February 2013 I always thought this band had a strange name and then the title of the album was even stranger and to be honest I don’t really like it but since when would that stop me listening to something? More often than not, not judging an album by it’s … Continue reading
Album Review: David Bowie – The Next Day
The Next Day Released 11th March 2013 So Bowie is back with his, count um and weep, 24th album. No I don’t own them all so I can’t write this review in a manner to which you may be accustomed but I am going to damn well write a review none the less. Earlier in … Continue reading
Album Review: The Joy Formidable – Wolf’s Law
Wolf’s Law Released 21st January 2013 I’ve had this album for a little while now and I’ve given it a number of listens on numerous occasions and I’m still finding that I can pretty much take it or leave it. This is not the expected response as I was looking forward to this album. Wolf’s … Continue reading
Album Review: Brooke Sharkey – One Dress
One Dress Released December 5th 2012 Brooke Sharkey is relatively new to me but what an impact she has had on my ears already.
