Arms & Hearts – Set In Stone
Set in Stone by Arms & Hearts isn’t the most original EP you’ll listen to this week. It wears its influences on a heavily tattooed sleeve, one that’s stained with beer and cigarette smoke and the dust of the open … Continue reading
Larkhill – S/T
I pressed play on Larkhill‘s self-titled EP at 7am on a winter’s morning – still collecting myself and my thoughts as the whirling sound of guitars kicked in, taking me straight back to emo/punk bands from the past. The scene … Continue reading
