On the back of their UK headline tour, and appearances at last weekends Zandari Festival in South Korea, Leeds based quintet Fizzy Blood have released a new video for their track ‘Black Sheep’, taken from their debut EP Feast.

Not Forgotten – Deep Purple – Machine Head
The sixth studio album of their career, and the third by their much celebrated Mk2 line up, Deep Purple were very much in the ascendant when they set out to record Machine Head. While there had certainly been distractions in the form of a major line up change and Jon Lord’s much celebrated Concerto for …
EP: TEAR – TEAR
When Throwing Up tragically split up (one of the jewels in Tim Burgess’ O’Genesis’ records crown – in my humble opinion) I was distraught at not having caught them live. Thankfully TEAR have arisen from the ashes of said band and front woman Camille has harnessed a stronger, tighter unit this time around. PJ Harvey …
Album Review: Reverend and the Makers – Mirrors
Sheffield indie rockers Reverend and The Makers were instantly covered in glory right from their very first album, the brilliant The State of Things, that marked them out as purveyors of the finest groove-laden smart pop back in 2007, and followed it, with a hint of sophistication and witty political lyricism, with A French Kiss …
Live Review: Pinkshinyultrablast. Brudenell Social Club, Leeds 01.10.2015

Lyobuv’s ethereal vocals are instantly captivating as they float through the air. As we progress the intensity builds and within minutes you are acutely aware of …
Track: Over Sands – Hounds
Hounds, the new single from London brothers Over Sands, belies the fact it was recorded in a World War II bunker, instead giving the impression with its rippling beats, chiming synths and glittering guitar work that it was somewhere hot, overlooking the sea, probably with easy access to a balcony. It’s a follow on from …
Album Review: Deafheaven – New Bermuda
Never in my life did I ever think I’d like a so-called “black metal” band. Up until a few years ago I didn’t know what black metal really was. The black metal genre was something I looked at from a distance and thought better to indulge in it. I got the Gothic stuff. The sludge-y, …
Meet: Folk legend Judy Collins interview
There’s a whole new generation of hip young female folk singers at the moment and all of them owe a debt to Judy Collins. Her 1967 breakthrough album Wildflowers introduced Judy’s pure folk tones as she recorded a smash hit cover of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now, and brought the songs of the then unknown …
