Album Review: Amber Run – 5AM
5AM Released April 20th 2015 I can’t believe that it has arrived at this time already. Not 5AM, but that Amber Run are releasing their debut album. It feels like it was only the other month that I was stood in a very muddy field watching them play, what was at the time, their 6th … Continue reading

Just Listen: Kid Wave – Honey
Kid Wave Listen to Honey here: Kid Wave’s new single Honey is as gloriously grungy and shoegaze as their past few efforts and I never want them to change. It’s a bit like having a hug from an old friend. There’s nothing new to be found here, in fact there’s a little bit of a … Continue reading
