Daughter were supported by Bear’s Den. I had only previously heard one of their songs so didn’t have any preconceptions in my mind as to what their set would be like. They played an enjoyable set that perfectly set the tone of the evening. I definitely recommend giving these guys a listen as they have…
Following the release of their debut album ‘If You Leave’ Daughter are embarking on their European Tour. They will be playing at The Old Fire Station in Bournemouth on Wednesday 24th April supported by the talented Bear’s Den. Elena, Igor and Remi are not names you would necessarily be familiar with, but added together they…
After recently watching the BBC Rolling Stones documentary ‘Rolling Stones: Crossfire Hurricane’ it struck me just how bad things in the music world have got. Upon this realisation I fell into a deep dark depression. ‘How’ I asked myself, ‘are we ever going to experience something as revolutionary and ground-breaking as the likes of The…
Tribes shot to fame by creating a name for themself the old fashioned way by gigging around Camden. In fact it was practically impossible to find any indication they even existed on the internet in the early days, such behaviour is practically unheard of within this technological age we now live in. Despite their non-existence…
Whilst you may not know An Escape Plan by name you will certainly be familiar with their single ‘Living Together’ as it has recently featured in Ikea’s latest advertising campaign. But do not be fooled into thinking this is a ballad about reasonably priced flat packed furniture. Instead this is a delightful little number that…
19 years after his tragic death Kurt Cobain was certainly true to his word. His music is still cemented at the forefront of the rock movement’s mind. Kurt Cobain is truly the embodiment of 90s grunge. I challenge you to find anyone who has never heard ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. Whilst its true that Kurt…
Out on March 18th, Daughter’s debut album If You Leave is a delightful mixture of intense, raw and sometimes claustrophobic angst
We Came Out Like Tigers could not have chosen a better venue for their secret show. In the cellar of a tattoo shop with blood red hand prints painted over the walls I felt like I was stepping in to the back of some backstreet modern day speakeasy. For those of you who may not…
Following the release of his debut album Dear in early 2012 Keaton Henson made a name for himself for his heart wrenching lyrics, smouldering vulnerability and fragility accompanied by the raw production of the album. This man clearly has felt a lot of pain and this translates beautifully throughout the whole album. As a little…
Frankie Cocozza made a name for himself by being the resident ‘bad boy’ of the X Factor, causing a scandal by being kicked out of the competition for taking class A drugs. His brief stint on the X Factor demonstrated what little, if any musical talent he possessed, but just when we thought we could…
Dog is Dead have come a long way since their school days together in Nottingham. This five piece have recently released their debut album All Our Favourite Stories and it is filled with soaring guitar rifts that echo the likes of Two Door Cinema Club and Bombay Bicycle Club. They are full of energy on…
The thought of reviewing Calvin Harris’ new album didn’t exactly fill me with joy. It cannot be denied however that the Scotsman has firmly cemented himself as one of the most popular DJs within popular music culture. Prejudices aside, the review must go on, so I sat myself down, gritted my teeth and prepared to…
Rebecca Karijord is a singer songwriter from Norway. She has a distinctively eerie and somewhat ethereal quality to both her voice and song writing. Perhaps this follows the decision to release this new single ‘Use My Body While It’s Still Young’ around the time of Halloween. The single is accompanied by a particularly disturbing video.…
Dog is Dead have been growing from strength to strength after their prestigious appearance as an unsigned act at Glastonbury in 2010 that catapulted them into the limelight. Since then they have been working on their debut album All Our Favourite Stories, which was released earlier on this month. Dog is Dead will be gracing…
