Live Review: The Peach Fuzz – Liverpool
The Peach Fuzz Phase One, Liverpool, 18th October 2019 Words & Photos: Elena Katrina This was not the first time I’d seen The Peach Fuzz this year, nor was it the first time I’d seen main support Saytr Play. It was a bit of a dangerous mix and I think, this time, for me the … Continue reading
Just Listen: The Pale White – Swim For Your Life
The Pale White – Swim For Your Life Words: Ashleigh O’Neill The Pale White are back with their new single ‘Swim For Your Life’.

It still … Continue reading

Just Listen: Electric Enemy – Save Me
Electric Enemy – Save Me Words: Amy Butcher Opening with melancholic guitar melodies and singer Jim’s impressive vocals, Electric Enemy have returned with another fantastic single following debut ‘Climb’.

Just Listen: FEET – Dog Walking
FEET – Dog Walking Words: Amy Butcher The first time I heard this track, ironically enough, I was walking. ‘Dog Walking’ from FEET is a fantastically interesting song about walking your dogs. The melancholic repetitive ‘ooohs’ and jangly guitar melodies put you in a euphoric daze that’s anything but soporific. I’m still new to FEET, … Continue reading
Just Listen: The Ninth Wave – Human Behaviour
The Ninth Wave – Human Behaviour Words: Elena Katrina The Ninth Wave have found something a little warmer in the latest track Human Behaviour.

Just Listen: The Lottery Winners – Hawaii
The Lottery Winners – Hawaii Words: Elena Katrina This isn’t at all what I remember from when I saw The Lottery Winners play live back in May this year. To be fair that’s maybe because what I remember the most was their lead singer being unsure if he was a stand-up comedian or lead singer … Continue reading
Just Watch: Stereo Honey – You Are A Monster
Stereo Honey – You Are A Monster Words: Elena Katrina Oh, Stereo Honey you make my ears so damn happy. You Are A Monster‘s opening moments are like something you’d hear in the ominous score of a thriller movie. It sets the scene perfectly for this tensely phrased track. It’s not long until we’re … Continue reading
Just Listen: SuperGlu – Forever Endeavour
SuperGlu – Forever Endeavour Words: Elena Katrina Listening to the new SuperGlu track I’m immediately taken back to the excitement I felt when I first heard them, and when I first saw them.

Live Review: Fangclub
Fangclub The Zanzibar Club, Liverpool, 2 October 2019 Words and Photos by Gary Lambert All of a sudden it seemed, according to Facebook posts, that winter had hit.
