Track: ‘Stay Gold’ – Restless Leg unveil another sprightly powered pop single and announce album and tour.
The new single ‘Stay Gold’ from Restless Leg is as hyperactive as their name – a track that skips and hops with a sprightly bounce, a sonic game of rough and tumble that spills out of the speakers and shimmers and shakes. Horns grace the edges and a low-fi rumble is emitted with a Jonathan …
Track: Edinburgh’s Marky Wildtype yearns for a ‘Place of Peace’ in a dreamy pop epistle.

Album Review: Jo Meares’ Silver Bullets unleash their impossibly beautiful and glittering self-titled debut album.
Jo Meares is a prodigious talent and whatever he turns is mind to, it will be remarkable. His new project, Jo Meares’ Silver Bullets (let’s ignore the possessive comma issue), eschews his ambient and ethereal side for the full blooded rock’n’roll experience.

Ah, Cowtown are back, and they’re strutting into the spotlight with their latest single, “Can’t Talk Now.” This track proves these Leeds scamps can handle the glitz and glam of attention just as deftly as they thrive on the frayed edges of music.
