This is a cracker of a track from Aussie Purser, the opening track from his EP “Confetti”. It’s an acoustic guitar led number, and Aussie’s voice powers through over this, I love the offbeat drums that come in on the second verse and the bounce that comes with it, very summery! I love the lyrics …
Single Review: “How Can You Sit There?” Kael Alden
Wow. That first sung note is glorious! Such power, it made me sit up and take note that this wasn’t just any ordinary track. The song starts off with a line that’s sung so powerfully you just can’t help but want to hear more to see where it’s going. “How can you sit there and …
Single Review: “Venus Eye Honeytrap” – Doviak
Doviak is here with a track that comes at you with attitude, the drums deep and punchy in the mix, with some great guitar work, and his vocals so clear… I love the way that there’s a falsetto over the top to reinforce it all. Overall the track is dark, both lyrically and musically, …
Single Review: “Blood” – Soft Velvet Lounge
What I like about this song is the very indie pop vibe on this…. Very dreamy vocals that swirl around you, and with a powerful production as the backdrop it really does hit the spot. The synths being played are interesting choice sound wise, to begin with you hear a very quiet synth pad which …

Single Review: “Summertime Song” – Jess Meyer
This song does what it says on the tin. It truly is a summertime song! Let’s break it down. The acoustic guitar bounce as an off set to the four on the floor beat makes you want to be at a festival in the heat or the rain dancing arms akimbo drunk on the joys …
Single Review: “Know Me” – Days Of Rome
The thing I like about this song is its quirkiness, the intro makes you think it’s a soulful slow jam, but when the beat drops, it’s anything but. What do I mean? Well at around 0:10 a trumpet comes in, and then we get treated to a scratch, straight into the drums, bass, and guitar …
Album Review: “Battle Lines” – Cable Street Collective
It’s been a strange kind of day. I have watched the first two episodes of the new Obi Wan tv series, Stranger Things season 4 just dropped… And Cable Street Collective sent me their album to review. I’m blessed right now and it’s not even 9am yet. So what did they send me? Well, it’s …
