After a personally poor year in terms of listening to new releases in 2013, I made a half-arsed resolution at the start of 2014 to make sure I listen to more music. For the most part, I succeeded. There are … Continue reading

Versus You – Moving On
Luxembourg is a country with a population of just over 500,000 – considerably less than the urban catchment area of my current residential city of Nottingham. Its ability to spawn a successful punk rock band is therefore significantly diminished but, … Continue reading

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

Prawn – Kingfisher
