Is this a song told from the perspective of a turtle? Possibly, given the first line of the song! “I can feel my head sliding back inside my shell…” and the picture of one of the front cover. Or, it could be a contemplative song of what the writer could be doing instead of their …
Single Review: “Music Is The Drug” – Roleplay
A nice slice of EDM here, but it’s more than just that. There are some lush strings on this, and I love the house piano riff on this. This track puts you in a good mood soon as it starts, and it’s the harmonies in the chorus that whisk you off. What’s the song about? …
Song Review: “Mayday Mayday” – The Clockworks
The Clockworks are back with a heavy hitting alt rock track, my favourite on their new album so far. Big guitars! Big drums! Big vocals! This song is about the world we live in now, I’m assuming that it’s alluding to the cost of living crisis, because there’s references to money, and lack of it …
Blog interview: The Clockworks
Clockworks! How are you doing? Good thanks, looking forward to the album release. It’s been all guns blazing for a while so looking to get the album out. Congratulations on the release of “Exit Strategy” how does it feel? It’s fulfilling. We worked for a long time on this, and we’ve had to learn a …
Single Review: “The Power That Is Woman” – Ida Kudo
This song is so strong.. vocals, lyrically, musically, it is so well put together and it’s not afraid to challenge what is going on in the world… What do I mean about the lyrics? Well the opening line is: “You got blood on your hands, There’s blood in my pants, what’s the difference? My …
Blog interview: Modeste
Congratulations on the release of “Queen” how does it feel? Thank you, yeah, honestly it feels good to be able to show another aspect of my writing. “Queen” has a much more romantic feel than my previous releases. What’s the story behind the song? The story is actually based on a fictional scenario. …
Single Review: “In The Future” Rory Ryan
This song reminds me very much of a psychedelic track… there’s something almost Pink Floyd.. The lyrics are full of questions: “Do you ever let your guard down? Let someone come into your life? Do you fall asleep easier? Or are you restless at night?” It’s like your inner voice interrogating you at 3am in …

Single Review: “You Built A Wall” – The Way After
This is the new single from The Way After a band from London/Coventry, and it’s quite a tune! It starts off with a count off on the sticks, which gives way to a very pleasant indie rock number. But what caught my ear is the use of the string quartet on it, really lush strings. …
Album Review: “A Sense Of Unease” – Kiffie
Kiffie has released his new album. These are my words on it. The End Kiffie opens this up with a track that fades up with a synth pad that kind of modulates, lots of chorused synthesis in this. In this slice of the pie there’s also a very low arpeggio that you don’t notice on …
