Hello again! As promised, we have returned! But fear not, as an apology for being AFK for so long we have an absolute BANGER of a track for you! I’m fairly sure my other half knows all of the words to this track by now. Newcomers ‘In Waves’ don’t do things by half with their debut single ‘Head Above Water’, (premiered as ‘Record of the … Continue reading In Waves – Head Above Water
Yes, you read the title right. This is a LIVE REVIEW! Wow, I haven’t written one of these in a long time. I actually wasn’t even approached/asked to do this one, I just really enjoyed the gig and thought I’d share my thoughts with you all. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into it! I’ve been a fan of Talisk since 2017, when Spotify … Continue reading Talisk + Folkestra @ Sage Gateshead – 20/05/22
“The track is meant as a song for our times and is for anyone and everyone trying to maintain a positive outlook amidst seemingly never-ending negative developments in the world from Covid to war to climate change – all of these crises and more are throwing up contradictions which are hard to keep up with and leave us feeling like everything is coming apart at … Continue reading Calum Baird – Some Call This Normal
“‘Cairn’ is a living memory. It is a collection of new music set to archival recordings of those who once lived in the Scottish Highlands and Islands discussing moments of childhood, folklore and people. It is a celebration of the more intricate moments of Scottish and Gaelic culture and a thank you to all it has given so far.” – Blair Coron. Hello friends! As … Continue reading Blair Coron – Cairn
Howdy! We’re back again, this time with a song that will 100% blow away those Monday blues. If you’ve been following us for a while, you may remember the wonderful people from Cornfield Chase from Part 4 of our 2017 mini live stream series The Captain’s Log. With an ethereal-esque intro, elements of which resonate throughout the rest of the track, Rise Again is absolutely … Continue reading Cornfield Chase – Rise Again
‘Hop’ you’re all well (see what I did there?). The Easter bunny has come early and given us a sneak peek at Sapienn‘s new track, and it’s Egg-Cellent. Sorry, we’ll stop with the puns now. Although the album artwork alludes to something perhaps a little more ‘metal’, we are hit with a beautiful piano-driven intro, that turns into a funky and catchy tune. Sapienn (aka … Continue reading Sapienn – Exit Scene
Hello April! As we experience some totally wacky weather here in the UK (sun and t-shirt weather last week, snow and winter coats this week), and as things continue to reopen and get ‘back to normal’, it’s important to remember to sometimes just switch off and enjoy the moment. This is exactly what The Often Herd‘s new single Inner Peace is all about. (“This one’s … Continue reading The Often Herd – Inner Peace
Happy “one less hour in bed day!”. Yes, it’s one less hour in bed, BUT… this means summer is inching ever closer. The debut single Melted Casino from Edinburgh rockers Eyes of Home has everything you want from a song. Catchy riffs, fantastic hooks, great vocals, and giving you the urge to maybe fling yourself about in a room of like-minded people. It starts off … Continue reading Eyes of Home – Melted Casino
Happy Spring Equinox! (Correct at the time of writing obviously). This means that the days are FINALLY getting longer, yay! Hamish is already planning his summer outfits. Dunfermline Alt-Rockers Stay for Tomorrow are back with the foot-tapping, catchy track Prison Living. They have a very distinct sound, which is best described as ‘oooooft yes’. This will be another one that will be added to my … Continue reading Stay for Tomorrow – Prison Living
Guess who’s back, back again…that’s right it’s MK! We loved Butterfly so much, we were honoured when we were asked to review his new single Run. ICYMI, you can read our review of Butterfly here. As I’ve mentioned before, I love a good instrumental track, so Run really lets me get my groove on. Full of melodic hook lines, and a large sprinkle of awesome … Continue reading MK (Mike Kremastoules) – Run
