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: Red Rum Club – Black Cat

Red Rum Club – Black Cat Words: Elena Katrina Eyes are glaring at me from across the room. Concentration is etched in the brow that is furrowed above them. “Red Rum Club!” – Bingo! I do enjoy what has become an unintentional game of “guess whose new track this is” – without even having to … 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

Album Review: The View – Exorcism Of Youth

The View – Exorcism of Youth – Released 18th August 2023Words: Elena Katrina I’ve sat on this new album by The View for a while, I just didn’t have time to write it up but now I’ve grabbed myself half an hour and I’m going to see what comes out as I re-listen and type … Continue reading

Just Listen: Life Aquatic – Brunch Mindset

Life Aquatic Band – Brunch Mindset Words: Elena Katrina I wonder if I could write a review how Life Aquatic Band have written “Brunch Mindset” – at least how I like to enjoy thinking they wrote it. In separate rooms with no idea of what anyone else writing it was thinking genre wise and yet … Continue reading

Just Listen: She’s In Parties – Summer Haze

She’s In Parties – Summer Haze Words: Elena Katrina There is something to be said for the understated, sometimes it becomes sublime and She’s In Parties’ “Summer Haze” about hits the nail on the head with that for me. It’s a song that is, on first listen, somewhat unassuming, but beware as therein lurks a … Continue reading

Just Watch: Teen Jesus and The Jean Teasers- I Used To Be Fun

Teen Jesus and The Jean TeasersWords: Elena Katrina I’m going to put a disclaimer here because, usually, I wouldn’t cover non-UK-based acts because I always want to encourage people to go and see the acts I write about but this really caught me by surprise and I wanted to share anyway. Teen Jesus and The … 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

Album Review: Pvris – Evergreen

Pvris – EvergreenWords: Elena Katrina I had been listening to Pvris‘ single “Goddess” – a lot – lately. I haven’t, in all honesty, paid huge attention to them previously. I’m not sure why, they’re right up my rocky ally. When I was sent this album I thought, oh yes please I’ll have a bit of … 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
