Silverbacks are set to release their debut album on 17th July via Central Tones after a slow stream of singles on Soundcloud dating back to 2015. It’s this laidback approach that births the creativeness and holds the resilience of the band. They’re able to take a step back and n

I was sat writing about the EP ‘These People’ from a bench in a deserted park on a sunny day in the midst of social isolation. The sorta thing that lends itself more to Leonard Cohen, rather than the young, energetic 4-piece from South London, Talk Show. I wrote about three words

As you are probably aware, Glastonbury 2020 has been cancelled. No Taste was built to be our vehicle into the festival by applying for press passes. Bollocks. Below is the exact application we sent to the press team. We never received an answer from them before the festival was c

When I was asked by someone on the tube to describe what I thought of the show I answered ‘pleasantly underwhelming’. Waking up this morning with a blistering hangover I kind of know what I meant, but I feel like it needs more explanation. ***** First, here’s a hungover thought

Two side-by-side accounts of a particularly ridiculous weekend that should have been filled with band reviews - but wasn't. It deserves no more of an introduction than that and probably shouldn't have been posted at all, but we needed to voice it to someone. Click the tabs to rea
