‘My Revolution’ is a powerful release from Red Bird Rising and features Ukrainian musicians Taras Kuznetzov and Ana Pshokina. It was written by Diedrich Donald Weiss and the story behind the release is profound and moving, demonstrating the power of music and a bit of determination. Composer Diedrich Donald Weiss wanted to do something, in response …
The new one by The Great Leslie is out, and it stutters along fabulously. The vocals are strong and confident, sitting on top of a great instrumental track. The guitars and bass play the same progression together sitting right in the pocket, switching between playing straight ahead to off beat, and it’s a joy to …
Hello SAFIRE how are you? I’m great! Apparently I don’t sleep anymore but that’s just from excitement for everything coming up this year so I’m not complaining! Congratulations on the release of “Angels And Demons”, how does it feel? Thank you! Angels & Demons was received really well. I don’t often sing on …
This. Is. Bloody. Brilliant. This song is a commentary on life in the 21st century – specifically with one of the world’s richest men having enough wealth and influence to be able to make a difference. Lyrically this references climate change, the rise of AI technology, fake news, countries tweeting other countries, and of course …
Alice Offley is back with a funky disco track that’s got that summer energy, as the days are getting longer and sunnier this is the tonic that we need. The guitar riff is reminiscent of 80s pop, but Alice brings the bass action making it just as funky – this being her instrument it’s no …
Joe Adhemar has released a new album. Let’s break it down shall we? “The Synesthete” available on Bandcamp Found Out This is a great track to kick off the album with, very bluesy, I like the way vocals have a slight delay to it, the main guitar riff has chromatic notes in there, and …
This is a fantastic piece of electronica from South East London based musician and producer I’M. Lots of of warped basslines mixed in with a beat that you can’t help but move your feet to. The pitched down vocal sample of “Watch The Sunrise” is simple, but very effective, one of the things that I …
This song is pure genius! From top to bottom, the intro gives us chugging guitars, promising indie rock goodness and boy do they deliver… There are sections of this song that give me pure joy, the intro like I mentioned, and also the fact the drummer gets given their moment to shine from 2:12 with …
A Day Out with Memorial Device by SkinnyBoy Tunes I like it when songs reference other acts in their titles or lyrics. SkinnyBoy Tunes becomes a foley artist with this one, using the sounds of a train station and even recruits a Scot Rail announcer to speak over the top of some lovely chords and …
Since I’ve never seen Snatch a lot of the references here are probably going over my head. However, this was one of the tracks that caught my ear in the full inbox. I love the way that the vocals are delivered in a Danny Dyer style, although I think you need to be sucking on …
