The Great Leslie are back with a track that’s an absolute stomper! Big rock drums that swing on the toms, big vocals, big crunchy guitars… well what do you expect from the great Leslie? A lot and then some. This is a message with several layers – let’s start with the cover – a picture …
Single Review: “Live Forever” – Oasis
So. Oasis are back. No-one thought it would happen, not in this lifetime. If Guns n’ Roses can bury the hatchet (Not in each other’s heads…) then maybe there was hope for Oasis yet. Oasis was a huge part of the 1990’s Manchester music scene carrying on a long tradition of great music coming out …
Interview: Rebekka Louise
Hello Rebekka Louise how are you? Hiii! I am very good!! How are you doing? I’m very well thanks for asking! Congratulations on the release of your album ‘Shame Is An Old Friend’. How does it feel? It’s so exciting. Honestly, it’s always scary releasing music since it’s so personal. But I am so grateful …
Single Review: “Dream On” – Aerosmith
I’m gutted to hear about Steven Tyler’s decision to retire. It’s epic. The vocals at the point that I’ve picked where he goes full on banshee wail gives me goosebumps! Admittedly the first time I heard this song was when Eminem sampled it for “Sing” but when I went back and listened to the original …
Song Review: “It’s Only You” – Mutual Blue
Mutual Blue are back with a bit of a summer banger of a song, and this has a bit of an indie rock party atmosphere to it, you could just imagine this going down a storm on the radio. For me it’s the count off at the beginning if I put my DJ head on …
Single Review: “Baby Blue” Dutch Criminal Record
This has such a psychedelic feel to it, especially thanks to the jangly guitars and the laid-back vocals. First this begins with a broken beat but all falls into place when the guitars, bass and synth come in. This has a poetic feel in the lyrics and this is evidenced by my favourite part of …
Single Review: “Scream” – Ben Chango
Well! This is a fabulous piece of punk rock isn’t it? It starts off with a melodic bass line that is higher up in the register – really good bass work by the way – before settling into the song properly – joined by sticks clicking together as well as a snare, kick and tom …
Single Review: “Will U Be Mine?” Grace Calver
This is the ultimate in pop songs, and even the press release that came with it says it’s the cheesy one. Spoilers? It’s definitely not. Grace shows off great musicianship here with drums that punch through, really gritty 8 bit sounds by the way! What a choice for a track – but then when you …
Single Review: “The One” – Leigh Thomas
have one question to ask. Why is Leigh not playing packed out arenas? This dude has just released a single that packs a solid punch, it comes with an intro that hits the ground running. And it sounds like he’s got a full band in the studio and they’re having a ball; this is a …
