Album Review: Promise and The Monster – Feed the Fire
As someone that written album reviews for over a decade, I’ve learned to accept that there are some reviews which just don’t come easy.

We’ve a lot to thank John Peel for. When he died I remember feeling the shock as if he were a family member almost, rather than a radio host I had never met. But the legacy he left, especially in terms of the mountains of sessions recorded as part of his show, remains a resource …

We’re delighted to be able to premiere the new single, Vile as you want, from Warrington agit-indie rockers Man & The Echo.
