Live Review: Vintage Trouble, London
Vintage Trouble 17th November, London, Kentish Town Forum Words: Greg Arthur I missed Vintage Trouble at Glastonbury due to the bananas scheduling (and walking), I didn’t go to see AC/DC this summer, so missed them there, and all I’ve seen is a Fender basement session and a few highlights from the BBC coverage at Glasto … Continue reading
Just Listen: Banners – Start A Riot
Banners Listen to Start A Riot here: Sometimes it’s very very clear to me who is doing exactly what they should be doing and even though we’ve not published it yet, I’m giving you a heads up that Banners is most definitely on our ones to watch for 2016.

EP Review: Otherkin – The 201
The 201 EP Words: Gary Feeney From the minute I clicked on Otherkin’s Soundcloud page to listen to their The 201 E.P, I had a reasonable idea of what to expect from their profile picture: all leather jackets, sweaty hair and bare chests, they look every inch a band from the same cloth as acts … Continue reading
Live Review: Communion New Faces Tour, Liverpool
Communion New Faces Tour 20th November, Studio 2, Liverpool Words: Daryl Waffer I had the undoubted pleasure to go and see the Communion New Faces tour at Studio 2 Liverpool. It was jam packed with new faces and voices, filling the night with their indie guitar pop-ness. In the first act, Jack Watts, the 20-year-old … Continue reading
Just Watch: Paperwhite: Get Away
Paperwhite Watch the video for Get Away here: With a decidedly 80s electronica vibe running through it, Get Away is the new single from Paperwhite. The band have been out of the game for around a year, time flies! There’s something really rich and warm to the music despite the fact that it is often … Continue reading
Interview: Natalie McCool
Natalie McCool Words: Gary Lambert Photos: Gaz Jones Just a few short hours before Natalie McCool went on stage at the launch night for her new single, the absolutely brilliant Cardiac Arrest, we were lucky enough to spend some time with her and find out how 2015 has gone for her and what is in … Continue reading
Interview: Clean Cut Kid
Clean Cut Kid Words: Gary Lambert Photos: Gaz Jones Almost every band we speak with tells similar stories of going through the grind of touring and endlessly playing gigs in the hope of being spotted and maybe selling a few t-shirts and EPs to help pay for the petrol home from Inverness. Everybody dreams of … Continue reading
Just Watch: Katie And I – Wolves (Live)
Katie And I With the simplicity of two voices and one piano Katie And I manage to create one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in such a long time. With the most delicate graceful movement the track builds in passion through the outpouring of emotion that is carried in the vocal. The … Continue reading

Madird Released 13th November Words: Nick Jaques Saint Sister come in the form of Morgan Macintyre and Gemma Doherty.

EP Review: Berne – Conversation
Conversation Released 13th November 2015 Words: Siôn Ford From what brief reading I’ve managed to do Online in preparation for this piece, it doesn’t appear as though Berne has been on the scene for particularly long – there was a single released in 2012, but this EP, Conversation, looks to be her first record. Already … Continue reading
EP Review: Graces – EP1
EP1 Words: Julia Grantham There are five tracks on EP1 by Graces, maybe one more than I was expecting, no bad thing of course. I love the simplicity of a single word for each title, as is the case here. The first: Hepburn, is ambiguous in itself but eludes to Audrey Hepburn, and mentions her … Continue reading
Just Listen: Wild – Haunted Heart
Wild Listen to Haunted Heart here: I’m not even entirely sure how I came to learn about LA band Wild. I kept their last single to myself, because sometimes I do that but now, now I need to share. I feel compelled to share. That’s my job, to share the music that really excites me … Continue reading
Live Review: Liverpool Music Week Closing Party
Liverpool Music Week Closing Party Camp and Furnace/Blade Factory, Liverpool, October 31st 2015 Words: Gary Lambert Photos: Gaz Jones There ain’t no party like a Liverpool Music Week Closing Party.
