Ahh this song’s lyrics make me laugh…. “Charlie’s made it big on the TV set and I’m still cleaning toilets trying not to regret…” This song is typical of Rain’s sense of humour and backed with summery surfer vibe this calls for some serious airplay. The way that this song is performed, it’s just …
The power trio The Comet is Coming, comprised of Dan Leavers ( Danalogue), Shabaka Hutchings (Shabaka), and Max Hallett (Betamax), have released ‘Code’, the first single from their forthcoming album ‘Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam’ which will be released late September on Impulse. ‘Code’ is hailed by their label as an ‘intergalactic head-banger that explores hidden meaning …
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, …
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 …

For the non nerds among us, this song is about Buffy Summers. Buffy is a vampire slayer from the fictional town of Sunnydale, and her role is to protect the town and the world from the Hellmouth which is located on the site of the high school Sunnydale High. This was a tv series back …
Tarraska just dropped their new album….. I have tea. I have biscuits. Let’s do this. Sins Of The Other This is a straight out ballsy track, it kicks in with a guitar riff at the beginning – the squeal of a pinched string heralds the rest of the instrumentation coming in – open hi hatted …
Hello Sammy, how are you? Very well, thank you. Congratulations on the release of The Wonder Of Jazz. How does it feel? I feel nervous and excited. It is also like letting something go. Once something is released, you lose a bit of the control over it, and the sudden release from the immersion can …
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 …
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 …
