From an EP of three really strong songs, it was hard to choose which one to pick for my track of the day. But I decided to go with this one, because I love the way it just builds…. The drums start this number off, the kick is low in pitch, but I get the …

Hello Alex how are you? Great thanks, it’s a beautiful crisp Autumnal day. My favourite season. Love seeing the colours turn.

EP review: “White Horses” – Art Block
Saviour This starts off very gently. Piano led, with a cello and violins playing the county melody, then acoustic guitar to strum the rhythm, this as an opener as a perfect choice. “You were a precious stone, Now I am all alone, I’m fading, yeah I’m fading.” I like this line. The drums come in …
Single Review: “White Horses” – Art Block
White Horses This is a piano led number, the second track in sequence on the EP, I’m liking Art Block’s vocals on this, he starts out low, then the chorus comes in and he opens up fully, it’s showing off his range. His voice is very distinctive, and he’s not afraid to show it. The …
Single Review: “Thirteen Weeks” – With Sun
Thirteen Weeks – With Sun I’ll be honest, I struggled with whether I wanted to review this one, as the subject matter is that raw. And everyone that I know that’s heard this song has had the same reaction. I don’t think I’d have been able to do it justice as a reviewer as my …

Single Review: “Too Sly To Die” – The Winter Codes”
The intro to this caught my ear straight away, the big drum fill made me sit up for sure! This is a mix of indie rock and traditional Irish music. How do I know? Well, there’s an accordion in there, acoustic guitar, whistle, bass as usual, drums, I’m also hearing a banjo…. All that good …

Single Review: “New Life” – The Happy Somethings
Check Out “New Life” here on The Happy Somethings Bandcamp My favourite wibbly wobbly timey wimey pop trio are back…. And as always they bring the goods and they bring it well! The melody is very much in keeping with their retro sound, but they add some interesting twists from the future too. “Welcome to …
Single Review: “Childish Games” – Maya Lane
Maya’s back with a beautiful acoustic ballad that shows off her songwriting skills as well as her voice… The song starts off with acoustic Maya’s voice over some acoustic guitar which is finger picked – sounds gorgeous, love the progression in the opening by the way. It really catches the ear. The harmonies in …
