Heartbreak brings out the best songs in people...in many ways it's the foundations of popular music...from the early blues to modern pop songs about lost loves, forlorn aching for those moments for one more time. "I suppose it's head down, just carry on" sings Roy on the Sheds new song and the next step in … Continue reading I’ve Got The Blues – The Shed Project
My Review of 2023 in Music (Mostly). That's it, 2023 is done, another year older and still none the wiser. As we leave the carnage of '23 behind us and head into the new dawn of '24, I thought I would write some words about my thoughts on the indie music scene with some of … Continue reading It’s the end of the year as I know it and I feel…
If 2023 new music can be remembered for one thing I hope it's because some bands decided it was time to make a stand and release songs about the current climate we are living in, social & racial issues as well as continued Government lies and rule breaking have been themes that Kill, The Icon, … Continue reading The Shed Project – Our Fear Is Their Power
Classic - a work of art of recognized and established value. judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind. Let's get this straight from the start, The Heavy North are not an indie band, they are a Classic Rock band in the purest tradition of what … Continue reading The Heavy North – Delta Shakedown
A double album, 22 songs from an unsigned band that focuses mostly on the sound forged in the 1960s seems foolhardy at the very least. In a world where the average attention span of a new single release is about 2 mins and apparently nobody listens to albums anymore is either commercial fcking suicide (their … Continue reading Album Review – The Mariners – Four Sides Of The Circle
The Heavy North get heavy for their second single from the eagerly awaited second album Delta Shakedown. With a blistering harmonica start and a pound of drums the new single kicks of with Kenny declaring a New Sensation like a new music INXS. Comparisons to the Ozzie Rock Monsters isn't that far off, both have/had … Continue reading Single Review – The Heavy North – Round Again
When you name your band after arguably the coolest trainers ever created, you better make sure your music matches up to them and doesn't end up like Dunlop Greenflash or Hi-Tec (please feel free to add your own worst trainers into this part). I digress, Gazelle are a 4 piece band from Leicester or is … Continue reading Single Review – Gazelle – Lady Blue Sky
Pop Music.....seems to be a dirty word at the moment... We all love pop music don't we though? It's still selling in its droves and throwing up some amazing music, however the in your face blatant merry-go-round of manufactured Pop Artists from TV shows n Tik Tok n You Tube is a bit too much … Continue reading Album Review – Your Cuckoo – Teenage Waitress

Jangle-Mod...is that a thing? If it is then Lunar Towers are the current kings of that castle (Tower)? I've been interested in the band ever since I heard their excellent E.P. Released on the Uber Cool Colorama records last year. The E.P. - Hurry Up and Wait was a perfect mix of classic indie jangle … Continue reading Single Review – Lunar Towers – About Time
I first heard of Leigh thanks to an In Your Ears Takeover by Nunny Boy - he called him the housewives favourite from Australia. Immediately I could see and importantly hear why. A voice and sound that was so cool in a Ozzie laid back way - it brought back echoes of my favourite Oz … Continue reading Getting to know you – Leigh Thomas
You know your onto something great when the buzz around releasing your new single is at tinnitus noise levels. Many bands had this, The Smiths, Oasis for sure and certainly that beat combo from Merseyside whose name escapes me...fans literally counting down the days until new music hits the airwaves. So it's testament to The … Continue reading Single Review – The Heavy North – Where Are You Now?

Here we go again then, it's a New Year with new challenges and new opportunities. I type this as The Reytons sit atop of the old hit parade with their second album What's Rock n Roll?
