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

Getting to know you – Leigh Thomas
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

Single Review – Minerva Daisy – Wildfire
The art of good pop music is making a song that sounds relevant and contemporary but also harks back to what has came before and gives you a little sense of nostalgia of music you heard as a kid or a teenager, oh and to ideally wrap it all up in 3 mins of musical … Continue reading Single Review – Minerva Daisy – Wildfire
My Albums of the Year 2021
Below are snippets and links to the albums that I reviewed in 2021 - they are in no particular order and I haven't ranked them as there are all worthy and interesting which is why I reviewed them in the first place. Please take some time to revisit or read for the first time and … Continue reading My Albums of the Year 2021
Wake up! It’s the Sky Diving Penguins. Album review
2021 has been a funny year for music, certainly in my musical tastes, as a large part of it has been dipped in rich psychedelic chocolate loveliness. Starting the year off with the McCartney type sounds of Teenage Waitress I was then flying high with the full on, out there Lennon meets Floyd Space rock … Continue reading Wake up! It’s the Sky Diving Penguins. Album review

Look up positive vibes in any dictionary and I'm sure there will be a picture of Sam Lambeth. Ask anyone on the indie community socials about Sam and they will all say the same - supportive, positive, friendly, hugely talented with songs to match.

Album of the Year – Brits and Pieces – Various Artists
It’s kinda apt that the best album of the year comes at the end of 2020 - the year we will all want to forget for so many reasons - but a year that will live long in the lives of the few that dared, that tried, that rose up and did something. Was it … Continue reading Album of the Year – Brits and Pieces – Various Artists
Strange Noise from another World – New Indie for Old Ears
So lets get back to Indie, the kinda indie that was always underground, always going to be off kilter, maybe never going to be world beating, maybe never going to be a club banger, no parkas here thats for sure. I've always looked for the arch, the different, the outsiders, something to challenge my preconceptions, … Continue reading Strange Noise from another World – New Indie for Old Ears
Introducing – Milo Gore – Tougher then the rest
Some artists write albums that are a tough listen. Some are so truthful they hurt when you listen. They hit hard. You want to turn off but you can't. They reach deep inside your soul. Pulling at feelings you didn't know you had or were struggling to control. When I think of these artists and … Continue reading Introducing – Milo Gore – Tougher then the rest
I write the songs that make the whole world sing – The Singer Songwriter
I often wonder over my brekkie (thanks Paul Molloy I use this all the time now) - is it easier or harder being a solo singer/songwriter? I guess it has its benefits: No spoilt brat singer having a tantrum, no royalties to split, no arguments over what is and what isn't going on the set … Continue reading I write the songs that make the whole world sing – The Singer Songwriter

They have been around since 2017 releasing songs, gigging and getting better all the time. I have … Continue reading Single of the week – The Rosadocs – Say Something
New Band/New Music – Tiger Mimic
Another new band on the horizon - I've always been a sucker for that New York Cool, the Punk Sound, CBGB's, Old Skool Hip Hop, The Beasties I could go on. So when I've been invited to listen to a band made up of two New Yorker's I'm going to say yes. Tiger Mimic are … Continue reading New Band/New Music – Tiger Mimic
