Congratulations on the release of “Duality” how does it feel? Thank you! It feels great! We’ve been working on this record for quite some time and are more than proud to finally show it to the world. It’s a 14 track project, what’s the story behind it? The idea behind the record was to do …
Single Review: “Boy In A Box” – BODYWATER
BODY WATER pose the question on their Spotify bio: “Why write about love when you can write about serial killers?” Well, why indeed? This is their debut single and it was on my shortlist as well as being in my Faves, it showed that in two years of being part of the Fresh On The …
Single Review: “I Bought You Crisps” – The Vat Egg Explosion
I absolutely love this song. It came through via Fresh On The Net, and made it onto the listening post. It’s the lyrics. I mean, this lyrical ode to crisps kind of nails it! The singer talks about very passionately about how the person who he brought crisps did him wrong. References to Golden …
Single Review: Bainbridge – Struggling To Sleep
I’m liking the synth lead playing the melody, nice thing for the ears! This has a ska feel not as obvious as Madness, but the melody played by Ben Bainbridge recalls ghosts of “One Step Beyond”. This track switched between indie rock, to ska then reggae and it does it effortlessly, this band is tight …
Single Review: “Nothing’s What It Seems” – Serotones
I chose to feature this song on the blog not least because the PR behind it Sally Newman is someone I trust implicitly with my music tastes but because… Well, this song changes and keeps my ears tickled with some music goodness. What do I mean? Good question. Well, when it starts it lulls you, …
Album Review: Big Brooklyn – “Everyone, Everywhere”. Words: Sammy Stein.
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: “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: “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, …

Single Review: “Glitter In My Pocket”-SōMuch
Italian band SōMuch are back with the follow up to “Studio 54” and it’s deliciously infectious! Instead of 4/4 the beat is swung, and they’ve got a horn section blasting the parts… This song is so catchy, a total party starter, the arrangement is on point… The production is so slick…. I like the way …
