Track: Exit Calm preview ‘Fiction’ from upcoming album
We can all breathe a sigh of relief. 2010 saw the rugged indie rock of Exit Calm coming to the fore in the shape of the self titled album and a couple of singles, Hearts and Minds and Don’t look down, which grazed the consciousness of many, and caused some to fall for their retro …
See: Second Hand Heart – Hold On, plus Video
I used to be a big fan of the Australian Soap ‘Neighbours‘. Yes, I know it’s still on here in the UK, but now I have other things that occupy my mind. Like writing about Music and Art just about every waking hour for a start. But in my teenage years especially, they did a …
Track: Josh Record announces new tour dates and releases Kate Bush cover, Running Up That Hill
Who doesn’t like a good cover. In fact, who doesn’t like a good Kate Bush cover (or a good cut-up piece of Kate Bush, remembering Utah Saints something good) for that matter. It’s the sort of pub discussion that men, well men who like music, have in pubs – the best cover of all time. …
See: Forest Floors new video – Seeing Red
So, how do I feel about my shoes. They make me feel awkward and plain. Well, maybe not my shoes, I was just including The Smiths lyrics because, well, I can (it’s from accept yourself) But I do hate looking at myself in just about any sort of visual media. Sometimes we shoot some video …

O Emperor – Vitreous: Album Review
Back in April I got lost on bandcamp and wandered into O Emperor‘s house. They had facial hair so it was a pretty happy accidental meeting plus, as you could not doubt tell from my breathless review of the video for “Holy Fool” I also liked what I found. Now they’re releasing albums, and it’s …
New Music: Public Service Broadcasting – Theme from PSB
There seems a lack of public service broadcasting on our televisions these days. Its probably down to having to be accountable for just about anything and everything. In my youth, we had loads of it, and I have happy memories of the evil of Nico Tine, and crossing the road with Geoff Capes. One such …
Discover: Amber and listen to their track Noah
Me and my friends came together at University to do various things, some of them very creative. Some of the highlights of this creativity include swapping chocolate slim-fast with chocolate laxatives (how were we supposed to know he had an instrumental exam the next morning) signing one of our friends up to every free offer …
Meet: Indie pop darlings Making Marks, and listen to new track ‘Barcodes’.
Sometimes, you hear quite by accident a track that literally bowls you away. That happened to me a couple of weeks ago when I was trawling various social media sites to find something new and good to listen to. I can’t quite remember now how I came across ‘Barcodes’ by Oslo based Making Marks, but …
