Big Brooklyn Everyone, Everywhere I first heard Big Brooklyn four years ago when they released the album ‘Purpose’ ( CD Baby 2018). It has been a wait for the next release. Their big sound is as classy as their presentation and their new release ‘Everyone, Everywhere’ is out on 18th March. Once again, they delight …
Single Review: “Right Now” – Luke White
This is the new single from Luke White, and it’s…. Stunning. It’s a ballad, the vocals, are out in front, which gives it a solid thumbs up for me, it starts off on just the guitar – I love the attention to detail here with the guitar strings, drums come in at 0:15 just rim …

I WANT TO BE HEARD!
Why am I not getting heard? Well, it could be a number of things. Your track might make you the next Adele, or Taylor Swift but there are rules to be followed. It’s not set in stone (Badoom tish!) but here are the Ten Commandments of promo. Make a readable EPK! Bloggers, DJs, podcasters, producers …
Single Review: “Deadpan” – Autosuggestion
The way this song starts interested me, the arpeggiated guitars in triplets following the drums. It’s a rich track and got me head nodding, it’s moody as the title suggests but don’t be fooled, because Jacob’s vocals are so strong, nothing deadpan about it, and made me want to listen to him again, with that …
Single review: “A Perishing Of Cherished Things” – Barbara
This song whisks me back in time with the use of kitsch organ noises especially, with the radio tuning noise at the beginning, and there’s a violin being played. I like storytelling songs in the lyrics, and a good example of this is the fact that this song is about Wendy, who was a writer …
Single Review: “Invisible Strings” – Black Lilys
What I like about this song is how it runs at a fair pace; the drums are cinematic, the kick is an 808, but the rest are percussive. The vocals are well produced, the harmonies are bang on. The vocals remind me of someone, but I just can’t quite place my finger on it — …
Single Review: “Goldfinches” – Ceitidh Mac
This is a cool acoustic number with synths getting all atmospheric for the background, what caught my ear was the bass sound… Having reviewed a band recently that showed me the versatility of the cello, I’m getting the feeling that’s not a bass…. Why do I think this? Well, Ceiltidh Mac is a cello player, …
Single Review: “Please Go Gently” – Amelia Coburn
This song is acoustic guitar led, very much a lullaby, but written in a letter form… Amelia Coburn’s vocals are very soft and breathy, and that’s what catches my ear straight away. I closed my eyes and just listened, and she’s got a voice that could calm a soul. I’m no ukulele aficionado by any …
Single Review: “3:28am” – Prime Panda
I was speaking to Neil March, fellow Fresh On The Net moderator about this band over lunch this weekend and he had only positive things to say about them…. They have played his Vanishing Point gig, and he said they were amazing. This is their new single, and it’s stunning. The overall production is stunning, …
