Where do I even begin with this new Elephant Trees single. As you might recall we fell in love with this band earlier on in the year when they released “90 Degrees” and gave a rousing show at the Wardrobe in Leeds. There was something immediately special about the band and I have a lot […]
Month: July 2017
What better way than to spend a birthday than at a gig? Rather than sit at home midweek counting grey hairs it was time to have a trip to Leeds Oporto, slowly sink a couple of schooners of real ale and most importantly listen to class music. This time Larkins were playing their first Leeds […]
In Your Prime – 24
In Your Prime have been on the local Leeds scene for coming up to a year now and have built up quite a reputation as a formidable live band, but ’24’ is the first recorded piece of music we’ve heard from them. It does not disappoint. The track starts with subtle picked guitar soaked in […]
Ezra Furman and the Boyfriend’s Wednesday night show at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham cemented their place as one of the greatest live bands I have ever had the fortune to see, blasting out a none-stop, hour and forty minute set of earnest yet raucous early 60s punk-rock music that at once amazed and enthralled.

The titular opening track is a charged opener to the EP. The soft piano opening and Callaghan’s delicate vocals do not offer anything new to the genre but certainly the effect of this […]
H2N picks of 2017 so far
So, we’ve just passed the halfway mark of the year and what a year it has been for music. The demise of Linkin Park, the resurgence of Papa Roach and the mind blowing Royal Blood album have all been distinct highlights so far. But H2N is a grassroots blog, a group of people who champion […]
Regan – Four Fingers
Halfway 2 Nowhere first saw Regan back in February in support of Young Amphibians – when we saw them then we said that of their eight song set, the song that should be recorded was “Four Fingers”. Here we are three four months later and the band have done just that. We spoke to the […]
