  • Guilford based punk rock band Miss Vincent were formed in 2012, but in that relatively short time have managed to build up a respectable local following, and are now on a mission to bring their dark punk stylings to a greater audience. The band claim to be influenced by such greasy LA punk rockers as…

  • “a very affecting record, exploring many new ideas and covering a vast array of different styles to create a brand new synthesis of electronic music”

  • Borderline: FIRE are a five-piece band from Reading who began their musical careers as an average indie-pop act, but struggled to find their niche in that particular scene. After a year of experimentation coupled with plenty of trial and error, they’ve emerged from the studio with their debut EP, This Trojan State, and they’re certainly…

  • White Lies – Big TV

    ,

    “a decent enough album, and its singles will sell by the shedload, but if I wanted bombastic 80’s indie rock, I’d go and listen to bombastic 80’s indie rock”

  • Julia Holter’s new LP Loud City Song retains a celestial atmosphere but is driven by an ever-present rhythm

  • The 1975 – The 1975

    In appearance the 1975 may well have stepped straight out of the period of slicked hair, leather jackets and nonchalant attitudes, yet paradoxically their music feels far more influenced by the 1980’s than anything else. With their liberal use of synths, electro and Matt Healy’s high tenor voice (being sweet enough to make any teenage…

  • Manchester based four piece Through Colour were first formed over a decade ago in North Wales, and in those ten years the band has experienced a fair amount of upheaval, with no real recording getting done until they made their big move to Manchester. But, even with creative juices finally flowing, that band weren’t content…

  • Angel Haze’s new single ‘Echelon (It’s My Way) fails to match her previous hard-hitting sound.

  • Oscar Levant who once said “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity” but on which side does Miley Cyrus fall?

  • Banks commands you to listen. You could try to focus on something other than her wincingly honest words but it is unavoidable. In defiance of the breathy soundscape her three-part harmonies create, her message hits hard and clear: she is unsure if she should wait for the relationship she longs for. It is this unapologetic…

  • London Grammar’s upcoming single, Strong, proves to be a stunning triumph.

  • 1972 is the lead single from Alexis King’s eponymously named EP and, if its anything to go by, the EP is a must have. The song opens with good effect, holding you in suspense while teasing the hints of the rock song that is to come. Gradually the song develops into a song reminiscent of…

  • Drenge – Drenge

    Aside from that incident with MP Tom Watson praising Drenge over politics, the band have garnered a fairly small yet loyal following of fans, and their expectations of the  duo’s debut are high. The record’s overall sound promises much; the revival of the seemingly all but forgotten genre of punk, yet fused with modern influences…

  • Rachel Tucker’s debut album is a must for any fan of musical theatre
