I could almost see the bouncer rolling his eyes each time lead singer Charlie Steen got up close and personal to crowd surf amongst his rapt audience. That said the bouncer did have to frantically ensure the mike cable wasn’t accidently being tightly wound around someone’s neck as it bobbed and weaved amongst the audience. […]
Month: April 2018
Live: Kashmere – Lending Room, Leeds
Fortunately for us impatient types there wasn’t long to wait. The first of the 2018 released Kashmere tracks Codeine came up second in the set list and the guys nailed it. A little later along came the second 2018 tune, Toyko, where the boys gave it a similar guitar heavy, reverb strong live rebranding. I […]

ørmstons: Mexico City, Single Review
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get nervous every time a band I consider my friends send me new music to review. There’s no worse feeling than clicking play for the first time, hoping it’s good because I have serious trouble writing negative reviews about bands I love to pieces. One band I […]

I know I over think things but when I spot a band name like The Zangwills, I can’t help but wonder about it. Is it some kind of urban slang that has passed an oldster like me by? Is it a tribute to Israel Zangwill the 19th century author who wrote about ghetto poverty and […]

Carnival Club // Nomads and Crooks EP
When you check out a lot of new music, you discover there aren’t that many bands with the confidence to stick their neck above the parapet to create something a little different sounding to the other stuff out there. After a few fruitless searches for something new and tasty for my eardrums to devour I […]
Rival Bones: Single Review, Scars
In 2017, Rival Bones led the way when it came to heavy rock in our Top 40 of the Year. Hives finished fifth in the overall leaderboard, only beaten by the big boys in Foo Fighters, 30 Seconds to Mars and a couple more. This year, they’ve raised the bar even higher with their latest release, Scars. The two-piece […]
Live: Isaac Gracie – Crescent, York
Isaac Gracie is perhaps the most understated individual working in the music business right now. Having never listened to his music prior to the evening of his recent show in York, I found it hard to believe someone with such talent had completely escaped my radar. On a lovely Monday evening though, he and his […]
