Single Review: “Waking Up” – Echo Northstar
This track is moody, a piano drenched in reverb, giving it a really dark element to it in the part from 1:04, there are no lyrics at this point just humming and vocalising. This is how I’d visualise waking up in the morning, especially on a cold Sunday morning like we had today. The one …
Single Review: “Give And Take” – Rosie Frater-Taylor
Rosie is back with the opening track from her upcoming album “Featherweight”, it switches gears well – going from Latin-jazz flavour to distorted riffs – I’ve been a big fan for a long time. Her voice is as strong as ever, my favourite part is at 1:20 nice bit of guitar playing but then there’s …
Song Review: “Mayday Mayday” – The Clockworks
The Clockworks are back with a heavy hitting alt rock track, my favourite on their new album so far. Big guitars! Big drums! Big vocals! This song is about the world we live in now, I’m assuming that it’s alluding to the cost of living crisis, because there’s references to money, and lack of it …

Clockworks! How are you doing? Good thanks, looking forward to the album release. It’s been all guns blazing for a while so looking to get the album out. Congratulations on the release of “Exit Strategy” how does it feel? It’s fulfilling. We worked for a long time on this, and we’ve had to learn a …
Blog interview: Modeste
Congratulations on the release of “Queen” how does it feel? Thank you, yeah, honestly it feels good to be able to show another aspect of my writing. “Queen” has a much more romantic feel than my previous releases. What’s the story behind the song? The story is actually based on a fictional scenario. …
Single Review: “Borderlines” – Cara Hammond
This track starts off with a beautiful piano part, heavy on the left hand to compensate for the bass part, then Cara’s voice comes in – she brings a real soulful touch to this and it becomes more evident with the drums that come in. The drums are well crafted, giving a little stutter when …
Single Review: “Dilithium” – Soliheen
Listening to this brings up a lot of questions. Is Soliheen a Star Trek fan? Where did he get that fat snare from? Asking for a friend of course.. this track is making my Sunday morning walk to church that little bit more calmer even though it’s cold.. but it brings warmth to the soul. …
Single Review: “You Built A Wall” – The Way After
This is the new single from The Way After a band from London/Coventry, and it’s quite a tune! It starts off with a count off on the sticks, which gives way to a very pleasant indie rock number. But what caught my ear is the use of the string quartet on it, really lush strings. …
Single Review: “Hold The Weight” – Rosie Frater-Taylor
This is a stunning piece of soul and blues…. It starts off with an acoustic guitar in the intro but then it’s joined by Rosie’s electric guitar…. BOY can she play! WOW!!! I’ve been a fan from way back but this is taking it to another level. The chord changes are straight out of a …
