Halfway 2 NowhereEarlier this year H2N seriously lapped up the sound of local Leeds based quartet Far Caspian with their gentle but buzzing first single Holding On. So we were eagerly awaiting whether the follow up track would show similar promise. Happily Let’s Go Outside is a sophisticated bit of shoegaze, lo fi pop which keeps the […]
Summer is finally here! It’s 30 degrees across the UK and I’ve been pining for my ultimate summer track for a couple of weeks now. With Marsicans releasing a new track, Corella with a single on the way and JUDAS’ music coming soon it was always going to take something special to stand out as […]

A highlight of this year’s Manchester Dot to Dot festival was to catch Seattle’s Dude York in the cool, grungy and intimate atmosphere of the attic of Aatma in the Northern Quarter. Ultimately I was a little worse for wear (will I ever learn how to pace myself?) but I did manage to hold things together […]
