Just Listen: Gig Review Muna, Liverpool
Words & Photos: Gary Lambert I say this as a straight, cis man, but there is nothing more supportive in music than a lesbian audience. If you go to a gig which is going to have a large number of femme queers then get there early because the venue will be pretty much packed by the … Continue reading
Just Listen: Gen and The Degenerates- Big Hit Single
Gen and The Degenerates – Big Hit SingleWords: Elena Katrina Signed to Marshall Records, Gen and The Degenerates return with their latest offering, “Big Hit Single“. Keeping to their punk rock roots the bass and drums are heavy, pounding and as expected steering you toward a loud clashing chorus. Then there is Gen, she shouts … Continue reading

It’s a song that is, on first listen, somewhat unassuming, but beware as therein lurks a … Continue reading
Album Review: Blur – The Ballad of Darren
Blur – The Ballad Of DarrenWords: Elena Katrina Time is short and so I’ve decided to give this whole album review lark a little shakeup – I’m only going to listen to this once and I’m going to type up my initial thoughts on just one listen. I may or may not go back over … Continue reading
Just Listen: Tash – Dead
Tash – DeadWords: Elena Katrina Like something from a modern horror movie, the last way single, “Dead“, by Tash (the musical project of Tara Nobel) has a haunting feel. Although it hardly creeps up on you, rather than smothers then bludgeons you. Tash’s vocals have more of a pop sensibility to their tone and the … Continue reading
