JUST WATCH: Sisteray – Wannabee
Sisteray – Wannabee Words: Gary Lambert The latest release from London’s Sisteray is a controlled piece of punk rock which takes the vigour and power of the four-piece, but harnesses the kinetic energy in order to create a track which pulsates and electrifies without losing the tune within the fuzz and scuzz you would usually … Continue reading
EP REVIEW: Strange Cages – Silver Queen
Strange Cages Words: Nicholas Jacques This 4-piece from Brighton dish out a range of sounds that are somehow both entrancing and uncompromising at the same time.
