Track: Fever the ghost- Vervain dreams of an old wooden cage
It’s usually the 3rd or 4th album where a band decides to expand their sound and throw the kitchen sink at a record, but LA’s Fever The Ghost are choosing to up their game early on. Trying to prove that you can never have too many instruments in a 4 minute pop song is Varvain …
Not Forgotten – Bob Dylan – Planet Waves
Over looked, underrated and generally seen as a lesser work due to the fact it wasn’t recorded in the 60s or Blood on the Tracks, Planet Waves is one of those albums that you eventually buy when you see it cheap in a sale. This is a little unfair as it’s actually one of Bob …
Meet: Cute Cute Death interview
We were quite taken by the visceral post hardcore of Kingston Upon Thames five piece Cute Cute Death when we featured them recently and their new record, Pockets. Ahead of the release of their forthcoming album, Vessels, we spoke to the band. You’ve got a mini-album coming out in August, can you tell us a …
Not Forgotten – Aerosmith – Rocks
The general consensus seems to be that Aerosmith were at something of a creative peak in the mid 70s and would never again to reach the such lofty heights again, regardless of their later commercial success. Now this is a bit simplistic for me, as in their post-Run-D.M.C. days, they’ve released some of the finest …

Initially released as a one day only freebie back in 2009, before seeing a wider commercial release in 2011, Witchazel is effectively the album where Matt Berry’s musical career really started gathering momentum. While the album Opium pre-dates it, as does the music he produced for a number of television shows, for Witchazel’s 2011 release …
News: Young Guns announce October headline tour
It seems that after a couple of quiet years, Young Guns just can’t get enough of touring in 2015. As if touring throughout April, May and June with two American tours in between weren’t enough, the band then announced a few dates in July. Mid-June saw them as the secret band at Download festival, playing …
Track: Cute Cute Death – Pockets
Taken them from the forthcoming mini-album, Vessels, which drops on Monday 10th August comes the new single from Kingston upon Thames five piece, Cute Cute Death. Describing their sound as like a monkey casually humping a lama that borrowed a cheese grater to chew on while they take to the hills on a kawasaki ninja, …
See: Hellions release new video for Nottingham
Hellions just released a new video for their song Nottingham! The Kerrang! Awards 2015 nominees have this time brought some breath taking visuals to accompany their melodic, punky sounds. Upon opening- sound-tracked by a melancholy piano, a 1920s art deco font declares the band name and song title, a theme that is continued throughout the …
