Bizzy Lizzy – Single Review – The Cult Collective

The last time we reviewed The Cult Collective and their track Seeking Thrills we said that  “[Seeking Thrills] sets the basis for what The Cult Collective are capable of and leaves the listener wanting a bigger, bolder track for their next offering.” The listener’s wishes have come true with new single Bizzy Lizzy. Starting with a huge, groovy riff reminiscent of the Definitely Maybe years.

Live: VANT – Wardrobe, Leeds

With debut record Dumb Blood only released one week prior it was always going to be an energy filled performance riding high from the release and the first show of the tour in Nottingham. The band sure delivered with their 20 strong set going down a storm in the city which VANT had destroyed just 6 […]

Misfires are a serious contender for indie anthem of the year with “Come on Over”

Misfires are a band that seem to be just about ready to explode – they’re bursting at the seam and new single “Come on Over” has opened up new avenues even the band probably didn’t think were possible. The track is an energetic, bouncy one that builds in a typically indie fashion similar to that […]

Types unleash their “post-post punk” album for the world’s ears to hear

Some would say that Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, the major cities of the UK, are saturated with music. Some would say that every artist that belongs to each of these famous cities’ music scenes are simply carbon copy’s of the band that went before them. Some would be right in thinking so. Last week however, there was a […]

Local Hero Promotions – Holmfirth Part Two – Palmes

The way this article ends is very, very different to the way it begins. It really is amazing that, going into the show at Holmfirth, Palmes were the band I was least looking forward to seeing. I thought their music was good but uninspiring, catchy but largely unoriginal and a bit like Ables Army took me […]

H_ngm_n are putting punk back on the UK map

For too many years pop punk and punk rock have been lagging behind indie music in the UK. Even with acts such as ROAM or The Excerts trying to put their stamp on the market, it’s difficult in such a soft guitar based market to get noticed and be different to every other punk band […]

Patch and the Giant are: Luke Owen, Angie Rance, Gabriel Merryfield, Nick Edward Harris and Derek Yau For fans of: Mumford and Sons, The Decembrists Now if anybody asked me if I like folk music, the answer would probably be no.

In conversation with…Bianca Lewis (Nova Neon)

We caught up with Bianca Lewis the lead singer of Nova Neon a sweet London 5 piece who combine beautifully bass riffs, trippy synths and haunting vocals. The first port of call, and for those who haven’t come across this incredible band was discussing their style of music. “Heavy pop or heavy pop alternative..” Bianca […]

Live: Glenn Hughes – Church, Leeds

It’s not every day a rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame artist comes to town so that in itself set the 1st February up to be one hell of a spectacle as the incredible Glenn Hughes came to The Church in Leeds. Releasing a brand new album in 2016 this was a tour celebrating both […]
