The Artists and The Music – My First Blogging Month

So its been one month already since I started this Blog and what a whirlwind. I have been completely taken away with the positive response it has had and its completely exceeded my expectations.

Album review – Finer Times in Other Worlds – Crimson Bloom

Ah the difficult second album - something of a legend in music or is it just a myth? Whilst some bands release such a magnificent first album its almost impossible to follow (The Stones Roses), other bands take it in their stride (Oasis), some release an even better album after a dodgy start (Blur, Radiohead). … Continue reading Album review – Finer Times in Other Worlds – Crimson Bloom →

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.

Citylightz – Things that make you go Hmm.

There’s something about bands that are a gang, mates, muckers, pals.  A little bit whee a little bit woo.  All in it together, having fun, having each other’s back but also making great music. When I think back to these bands – there are plenty – The Beatles (In Germany), The Stones, The Small Faces … Continue reading Citylightz – Things that make you go Hmm. →
