The Claremonts – Get Away, Get Away, Get Away A combination of gritty vocals, auspicious guitar pieces, and a Madchester driven rhythm section amalgamate to form The Claremonts. This new one is up their with their best recorded work; fast paced, grungy-scuzzy-indie music to go crazy to. Got I miss live shows and I can’t wait to see this […]
You have to love a band that evokes thoughts of a Thomas Hardy book in their name. While Hardy’s novel was somewhat ironic as it suggested that the rather chaotic world he created was some kind of a rural idyll, The Madding Crowd’s last EP 2016’s The 78th Bridge on the Rochdale Canal suggests something […]
It’s of course amazingly easy for any wannabe music reviewer to throw a few verbal grenades while sheltering safely behind a laptop.

Mossbo, the recent release from Swiss band The Gardener and the Tree however, wholly fits that description. The five tracks as an entire EP […]
Things get a bit tense when my heart develops an innate panic and reminds me that the gush of outdoor summer music festivals is about to run dry. While some creatures store and bury nuts for fortitude, Halfway 2 Nowhere contributors build up live music festival memories to relive during bleak winter evenings. Thus it […]
Pub and bar week nights out in August student-free-zone Huddersfield are rarely notable for their banging qualities.
