Album review – The Tides of Time – The Mariners

So it's clear these rapskallions are my favourite new band at the minute and I've been looking forward to their album ever since I first heard them in the Spring. For me they are your archtypal British group, formed from the same magic as the best of the 60s. However you chuck in a large … Continue reading Album review – The Tides of Time – The Mariners →

Single of the week – Connected – Crimson Bloom

It's fair to say that each week picking a SOTW is tough, but this week in a week of great releases one track stood head and shoulders above the rest. Connected is a cover, a cover of a well known dance/rap song from early 90s Brit rappers Stereo MCs. A brave choice, foolhardy some would … Continue reading Single of the week – Connected – Crimson Bloom →

Interview with – Nicki Donohoe – Cool, Normal, Northern

So when I started this blog, I didn't want it just to be about New Bands and Musicians. I wanted to include people that I felt my followers would want to read and know about. They could be from the arts, media, TV or Film, Comedy, anywhere really, but they have to pass my stringent … Continue reading Interview with – Nicki Donohoe – Cool, Normal, Northern →

Album review – Barfly Flew By – West On Colfax

Americana! A word so evocative it conjurs up thoughts of late night bars, whiskey, smoke filled rooms with a band playing the type of songs of love, lost, regret and redemption. Apart from my actual Country music interest, I've never listened to a lot of Americana music and couldn't really name you any acts that … Continue reading Album review – Barfly Flew By – West On Colfax →
