Congratulations on the release of Humanity- how does it feel? It feels like letting a secret out into the world – a beautiful secret we’ve been patiently nurturing. We’ve been performing some of these songs live for a while, so finally being able to share the studio versions feels like opening a bottle that’s been …
Well now! According to my calculations, this act made the faves waaaaaaaaaay back in 2014. So we’re going old school! Back then FOTN founder Tom Robinson reviewed them. 11 years ago! They’ve even got his review in their bio. Wow. This starts off with a Middle Eastern influenced violin melody, and then the percussion drops …
I’m excited about this one because I’ve been keeping an eye on brother and sister duo Dorsten for a long time. Sophie’s track “Tomorrow” still makes me emotional and is one of my favourite discoveries of the last few years. This track starts off with acoustic guitar, picked over a chugged rhythm, it’s triplets and …
This one starts off at a fast pace, the acoustic guitar kicks off things with a deceptively slow strum then the drums set the engine running! This is a driven track and the lyrics match the the pace –“I’m not really here right now,My mind’s taking me somewhere else,It doesn’t feel the same right now,It …
Straight out of the box this track is full of fuzz, set to the rhythm of a shuffle. This track is full of surprises though, so hold tight! Packed with low slung distorted guitar and bass this track growls to begin with, kick drum, snare, toms provide the shuffle beat underneath, the vocals add menace …
I was at the point today where I thought no one was going to release any music on the 1st September – a rarity as there’s always something new to come out even on Christmas Day – I kid you not! Anyway, this is a new track from Teen Creeps, packed full of offbeats, sweet …
his one caught my ear because of the 60s psychedelic vibe, along with the jazzy feel. Not only that but the timing as to when it came to me made me smile. This is a collaboration with the @thersc ‘s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and thirty years ago this month I was actually in a …
This track runs through different elements from beginning to end it was a challenge to figure out where to begin with this review! In any case it caught my ear and it’s pretty damn good really. In the intro, we have we have a synth bringing things up, making it all dreamy, then it’s joined …
Here’s one to clear the sinuses! Off to Liverpool we go with this one and it’s a punk rock track from Rivia, it hits the ground running with with an energetic bass and drum package going, the vocals come in good and strong, almost angry –“In right off the deep end,I don’t wanna be like …
Well! This is pretty spectacular! We have a solid blues jam here, it starts off with a glissando up the piano, underlying it is an organ, giving you that expectation that something cool’s about to happen, the cymbal swells kind of give you a spoiler alter to that. Add to that the double bass… The …
