Album Review: WSTR – Red, Green or Inbetween
After a thankfully brief period where it seems like the pop punk genre has been populated by lesser bands hitting the charts with a more pop focused version of the genre, it’s bands like WSTR (from Liverpool, UK) that can get things back on track to what it actually means to be successfully classed as …
Live Review: Elyne – Mulberry Tavern, Sheffield 13.1.17
Elyne, a Post-Hardcore band from Ravenna, Italy embarked on a UK tour (well, three out of four did) touring with To Kill Achilles and Scream Blue Murder but even with only three of the band, they gave their all and gave the crowd exactly what they needed to hear. In between songs, frontman Danny (who was …
Track: Julia Sheer – Takes One To Know One
After being quiet from the scene for a fair while, Julia Sheer has returned with a new EP on the horizon and a brilliant single to showcase her talents and what to expect with the upcoming release. The opening of ‘Takes One To Know One’ instantly sets the tone for a single that is emotionally …
Pop: Harper – ‘Blood Sweat Tears’
It’s good to be back writing again after too long, and with this return also comes the first release from Harper this year. With two amazing EPs released so far, I can simply say that within the first sixty seconds of listening to her latest single ‘Blood Sweat Tears’ it surpasses any expectations I may …
EP: Harper – ‘White Lies’
Last year I put the debut EP from Harper at number one in my top 10 EPs of 2014, which means that my expectations were considerably high for what was released next. To put it simply, whatever expectations I had from the debut EP, they’ve been exceeded with this latest release. With the single ‘White Lies’ …
Live Review: Alex G – Sheffield O2 13.11.15
Of all the reasons I listen to the music that Alex G releases (and have so for a number of years), whether they’re covers or originals, well-written compositions or filled with creative hooks, it’s the honesty in her voice that keeps me listening. After seeing her live show in Sheffield last night, this was the …
News: Alex G Live announces UK tour dates
Coming to the end of her Share Your Story tour, Alex G is playing live in the UK. After the release of several EPs and an album (which made it into my top ten of 2014), Alex is a musician whose music brings with it a great honesty wrapped in a beautiful voice. For three dates …
EP: Alex G – ‘Share Your Story’
One of the things I’m constantly amazed by is how music can become a tool for transformation. A tool for coming to terms with inner emotions and that it has the power to change an outlook. The latest release from Alex G is one that has an incredible concept to it. Taking personal and individual …
EP Review: Talay – ‘Piece By Piece’
At this point it’s an easy thing to take the internet and the availability of music for granted which has increased over the years but one of the aspects I still love is that I’m able to watch a live show in New York whilst I’m sat on my sofa in Sheffield via a livestream. Specifically that …
Track: Paves – ‘Dancing ’til The End Of Time’
With a lot of releases in recent years, the term throwback has almost become meaningless. It’s a term that has become overused and as more and more modern releases seemingly take more than inspiration from certain styles, it’s got to the point where they’re missing what made these styles great in the first place. Now …
