Tawny Peaks – In Silver River
The majority of reviews I have read recently have mentioned one band that is storming, well basically, the world: Modern Baseball. It’s hard not to bring them up, as they are a breath of fresh air to today’s music industry. … Continue reading
Little Big League / Ovlov – Split 7”
The internet seems to be full of articles that say all the best band names has been taken, and Ovlov aren’t doing much to challenge this theory, with their backwards written Swedish dad car moniker. Although saying that, a zombie-themed … Continue reading
Prawn – Kingfisher
I first got into Prawn in the same way many of us start listening to certain bands – to impress a girl. However, as soon as I gave their first EP False Institutions a listen, I knew I’d like them. … Continue reading

If you have ever attended a music festival, chances are, on the lead up to the event you will have scoured the line-up, on the hunt for your potentially new favourite band. Before heading to The Fest in Gainesville last … Continue reading

At this time of year, as the grey little island we call home is battered by a seemingly unending storm-ocalypse, the perfect remedy, apart from a cup of tea, is a band who remind us that the sun does still … Continue reading
