A review of Silverbacks debut album, Fad

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

Hello and welcome back! As you may have noticed, it’s been a while since the part 2 of the history of Glastonbury was released, that’s my bad. As you can imagine and are well aware of, Glastonbury 2020 was cancelled and just like each and every one of you guys, it’s taken me a wh

Wesley Gonzalez, Appalling Human: A review

Synth heavy, summer filled tracks have a certain melancholy tagged to them by default this year. Something feels inherently wrong about sitting on my own listening to cheery saxophones, funky backing guitars and sliding bass while I’m sat in the garden bar (shed) on an old flower

Yakima's 'Go Virtually' is the perfect soundtrack to your quarantine

It turns out isolating in a room smaller than Harry Potter’s cupboard under the stairs is not a place full of inspiration. My sealed shut windows look out onto the adjoining houses that have balconies to catch the sun from rise till fall; I have a garden that sits completely in t

Talk Show's debut EP "These People" is truly captivating

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

Review: The Growlers @ Roundhouse, London

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

A weekend of chaos in Brixton (disclaimer: contains 4% band reviews)

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

Hello and welcome! Today's album review is Muse’s latest album, Simulation Theory. Let’s jump straight in, it’s out there...like far out there. The album centres around the theory of machines/AI creating a mind of it’s own and destroying humanity. Although this sounds like anothe

Clare Kelly, The Lost Hours and Sofia Wolfson @ Oporto, Leeds

Hello and welcome, now that the dreaded hangover has subsided it’s time to review the gig I attended last night. It all started the week before, when I’d had a few beers and decided for one reason or another to play ‘buy a random gig ticket online’, something which I’ve not done
