S.T. Manville is a singer/songwriter who I stumbled upon during the end of my Spotify browsing while looking for another artist’s song. I clicked on his latest release, “How To Belong” and the Elliott Smith vibe was just right, so I invited him for a feature. And Elliott Smith fans are probably going to listen to…
Madi Foster is that kind of singer who could be on stage and you really don’t feel the need to move or do anything else but just sit down and listen to her. It’s authentic, it’s stirring, and it’s the most current and has that vintage spice. I’ve written this review about her latest single, “White Lines,”…
Whatever you gravitate to, be that country, blues, synthpop, or indie rock, Stone Mile’s latest single “Settle Down” is exactly what you need to find true happiness within yourself. They throw in all of the usual ingredients for this delightful dish: liner guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, but the delivery is special, with only enough familiarity…
From the lockdown phase of the Covid pandemic came Disco In Sochi, an act lead by Alex Allen, an Anglo-French Londoner, and their latest offering is the song “Diva”…. A tune that puts the bass and drumming to work; a fast, tight rhythm that is the standard for indie disco. This song could have been released…
Living in London, Si Connelly is a singer/song writer who is very ambitious; he is planning to release an EP every month. The seventh EP of the year, entitled July EP, is a three songs short stack, which is accompanied with shimmering production and glorious vocal melodies, on which the EP’s opener, ‘Fire’, is a good…
Whoa! The first song that I encountered, “Cut It,” threw me off guard! The song starts with a delightful verse groove/riff, but then suddenly, the attack… the sneak attack… the unexpected uppercut that you never see coming. But the changed beat, it’s a long way to the snare. The exhilaration you get from flying upward; this is a…
From his upcoming EP, I’m Really Bad with Names, Venezuela born musician Alejandro Lopes offers us the first single, “I Can’t Read Your Mind.” This track is a mid-tempo wall of sound that echoes the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain, laying it on thick from the beginning, and somehow only getting thicker– so…
From London, England, I present to you: The Great Leslie.You should– nay! You REQUIRE listening to “Feel Alive” only because Alfie Pawsey’s bass line is the shit, and it’s a pure jam. On top of that, Ollie Trevers’ powerful vocals are in some ways the same as Brenden Urie’s in terms of intensity and vibrato. The guitar…
Out of the blue, straight at your face is Reliant with the track “Heaven or Hell” from the UK town of Reading, this band don’t care about what people think. It’s either the old skateboarder in me or the effect of four cups of coffee, but in this track I wanna break some sh*t from the…
Whether it’s the sheer quantity of material recorded during “the COVID years” or the luck of finding Sergio Napoletano in the stacks, one thing is certain: the amount of material recorded during “the COVID years” is truly endless. Memory Aisle is where Napoletano used the time of social distancing to write, record and eventually find his…
Halloween came early! The EP, Glow, by Katy Alex, is in the bag, as it were, and it’s a real bag of ear candy. These four songs that are filled with lush production and sweet hooks are the result of the heavy-duty work of a confectioner in a kitchen with the sole purpose of making tasty candy….
It is highly likely that you have never heard about Lexie Carroll unless you are reading this right now. The chances are this will soon change and not only for that reason. At seventeen, she has already managed to come out with a debut EP and gotten into playlists like New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Our…
3Mind Blight is a truly prolific artist. In just one year he has dropped so many songs that we had to review “Love Sick” before he shares another one! It is categorically impossible to tie him to any particular genre as he is known to address different styles ranging from metal to hip hop, pop…
Friends, I am delivering a “I’ll Be Gone” prescription to you, not critiquing it; most probably, you have already heard the version of it, which has been nagging in your head for as long as you can remember. It has been a fixture in your life since forever, playing as a soundtrack to your every emotion…
The first thing was to start this blog which was giving me a bit of tough time since i had to go through all the full albums. Initially, I was expecting to write a couple of reviews for some singles here and there, and not spending more time than I would for occasional EPs. Therefore, when I…
To begin with, Drollery is a band from Albacete, Spain. They will be putting out their ninth-track punk album soon. As a start, I suggest that they begin with the 2020 EP Caerbannog, but I expect that they will be releasing “Bastard Santa” this winter. And I’m not kidding when I say there are only 168 shopping…
Blaring indie guitar tone?Bouncing, valve-driven vocals? A whole lot of harmonies hidden in the right places, like Parmesan, falling into the perfect pockets and crevices of a mouthwatering, musical salad? “Life of Misery” is a play-all-through board game that will not only entertain you, but your entire party as well! CRUZ is the name of the band…
SINKR is the Manchester-based band that combines different influences and genres, like punk and shoegaze. “Defection“ and “Big Shot“ are the songs that open the album and they both deal with authority in their own ways. Firstly, “Defection“ is a song that takes the general approach and addresses society’s institutions and then, I personally prefer the…
