This one comes packed with indie rock swagger – I swear I heard a castanet! It happens once, but then with this song, there’s a lot to keep you interested, lyrical references to the state of the world today plus a nod to a literary classic – George Orwell’s Animal Farm and the emotional oh …
This one proved very popular with the moderators, coming away with the most votes from the team. This starts off as a gentle acoustic number, but then the build into an atmospheric anthemic chorus is a surprise, it comes up at a rush, and leaves you wanting more! I like the layered vocals, the harmonies …
This looks like Dog Monologue’s first single from what I can see, and it’s a great way to introduce us to their world. This is an electro-pop track, with an ethereal feel, I’m getting the feeling they have a love for analog synths. Lyrically this talks about a journey in the moonlight in a zoo, …
This is a piano based ballad, and it’s just gorgeous, it starts off with soulful chords, with Abs’s vocal coming in nice and rich, singing of someone that is the bright light to her life, and singing with such a positive energy it’s infectious. This reminds me of a quote from “This Is Us” – …

I was at the point today where I thought no one was going to release any music on the 1st September – a rarity as there’s always something new to come out even on Christmas Day – I kid you not! Anyway, this is a new track from Teen Creeps, packed full of offbeats, sweet …
This track runs through different elements from beginning to end it was a challenge to figure out where to begin with this review! In any case it caught my ear and it’s pretty damn good really. In the intro, we have we have a synth bringing things up, making it all dreamy, then it’s joined …
Here’s one to clear the sinuses! Off to Liverpool we go with this one and it’s a punk rock track from Rivia, it hits the ground running with with an energetic bass and drum package going, the vocals come in good and strong, almost angry –“In right off the deep end,I don’t wanna be like …
Carol Jarvis is back with a tune that showcases both her voice and her trombone playing, she came on my radar with a track called “In My Veins” which was my track of the year at the time it came out. This is a house track, it starts off all atmospheric, before it drops into …
