Just Listen: FEVA – Makin Waves
FEVA Words: Samantha Sadler I was lucky enough to catch FEVA recently at Stockton Calling and I’ve totally fallen in love with them.

Live Review: Marsicans – Manchester
Marsicans Words: Joe Cockburn Photos: Georgia Flynn Snow had obliterated gigs across the country in early March, but buoyed by a week of seeing the absolutely epic Everything Everything twice, a much more intimate but equally as grand setting of Manchester’s Deaf Institute welcomed Marsicans on their (almost) sold-out UK tour – “damn you Glasgow,” … Continue reading
Live Review: Shame – Manchester
Shame Manchester, Gorilla, 13th April 2018 Words: Caleb Curtis If Whitworth Street West in Manchester didn’t know who Shame were by the start of the night, they certainly did by the end.

Just Listen: Our Girl – I Really Like It
Our Girl Words: Samantha Sadler One of the best things about summer, aside from the glorious weather, is the multitude of sun-kissed tracks that sprawl out across the season.

Just Listen: Dantevilles – The Fighter
Dantevilles Words: Gary Lambert When a track is called The Fighter, there is a desperate urge for a reviewer to stick some awful puns about knockouts even when it isn’t deserved, but this track is an absolute banger. There is more than a touch of 1980s Miami to the three and a half minutes of … Continue reading
Just Listen: Arctic Lake – What You May Find
Arctic Lake Words: Nick Bewes I first came across the band Arctic Lake in 2015 when they released the track Only Me. Even back then they were very good.
