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: “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, …

First of all this is the composition of Dr. Neil March, composer, radio DJ, gig/festival promoter, music lover, fellow Fresh On The Net moderator (Deeeeeeep breath) arts council England funded artist….

Single Review: “Alive And Living” – Lari Basilio
Oh Lord. Leland Sklar posted this from his Facebook page and when Leland Sklar is involved, you know it’s interesting. When I hit play I almost fell out of my chair. Lari Basilio PLAYED! The joy that just explodes out of her fingertips as she plays a blistering solo on this is incredible, she leads …
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 …
Album Review: “Pixelation” – Kiffie
Pixelation by Kiffie Pixelation This track is characteristic of Kiffie’s sound, very electronic, sparse synth sounds…. But there’s one little change, this track is not in 4/4. At least not all the way through. Don’t get too confused, it’s a bit of polyrhythmic play that funnily enough I was discussing with a colleague of mine …

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 …
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 …
