Shell Hinds takes a look at Bastille’s latest release.
Best described as a vastly superior Mumford and Sons, Half Moon Run’s new album is a surprisingly confident offering
I have been to the Eden Sessions several times, and I am yet to find a venue that is even close to equivocating its unusual blend of expansiveness and intimacy. By containing a spiritual atmosphere within an archetypal festival layout, the venue manages to brilliantly highlight the talent of its performers, but despite these predetermined…
‘Big When I Was Little’ is the latest offering from British singer-songwriter Eliza Doolittle. It’s the first single to come from her upcoming second studio album (currently still untitled) and it is the perfect summer song. With her usual quirky lyrics that kickback to when she was little (with mentions of Posh Spice, Malcolm in…
Subtlety within music is something often coveted and equally hard to obtain. Yet the tight riffing, hair flying, guitar screeching, drum bashing pair from LA throw caution to wind and come out all guns blazing in their brand new debut. Opening track ‘End of the World’ greets the listener by slamming the tail-end of a…

Stooshe’s debut album showcases a softer side to the girl-band
Review of Tom Odell’s highly anticipated debut album Long Way Down
One of the first things that frontman Alex Turner said about the Arctic Monkeys upon the release of their debut single, ‘I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor’ was “Don’t believe the hype.” Many years later, and I’m thinking that he may have been right. As much as I love the Arctics, ‘Do I…
The Dancing Shoes describe themselves as a 4 piece Alternative/Hard Rock band from Southampton. They have just released their first demo, which consists of the tracks ‘On the Hook’ and ‘There Goes the Neighbourhood’. The first track ‘On the Hook’ is packed full of punchy guitar riffs that are sure to make you sit up…
With the summer having officially arrived (at least where I am currently) it seems quite fitting that the Norwegian retro futuristic dance wunderkind Todd Terje has released an absolutely stellar single to complement any and all of our sun soaked endeavours. The genesis of this track is part in jest to the fact that allegedly a…
‘Lights On’ is Wiley’s fourth attempt to cross the pop-grime barrier from album ‘The Ascent’. Following the success of number 1 single ‘Heatwave’, the London rapper has brought in singer Angel on a catchy dance chorus that will no doubt ensure chart success. The punchy opening chorus eases into a familiar but enjoyable Wiley rap…
Those Disney kids seem to go one of two ways when it comes to breaking into the music industry. They are either ridiculously successful – e.g. Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, or they fade into obscurity à la Hilary Duff. Demi Lovato seems to be on the verge of falling into the first category. And…
Having anticipated great things from Disclosure’s debut album, Settle, and waiting anxiously following the releases of singles such as the fantastic ‘Latch’ and ‘White Noise’, I’m very sorry to say that I was disappointed by this offering. This is not to say that what has been placed on the album is not brilliant in itself,…
