Dustins Bar Mitzvah, under the innocuous guise of four floppy-haired indie-looking typesContinue reading “Dustin’s Bar Mitzvah – Get Your Mood On”
The Others – Difficulties Understanding
Since the dawn of time, bands have crowed from the safe towers of record label insulated financial stability that everything they do is for the fans, that they would keep making their music for the passion, no matter what. But when the chequebooks get put away the tune tends to change, TikTok videos get made,Continue reading “The Others – Difficulties Understanding”
Silent Forum – Domestic Majestic
Modernity is an absurd thing. Whilst, within this post-covid landscape, human beings work isolated in their homes, all they really want is connection and to feel OK in ways that former generations were able to take for granted.

The Others – Look At You All Now
It’s been noted by many a musical philosopher gone before that one of the hardest parts of being a band is you have your whole life until your debut album to write the first record and only a year to write the rest. On their fourth LP, the admiringly (or is it menacingly) titled ‘LookContinue reading “The Others – Look At You All Now”
CVC – Get Real
CVC have got the weed, they’ve got the blues – caused by their women and stingy bosses, and they’ve got a living room full of recording equipment, no doubt strewn with Pink Floyd, Harry Nilsson and ex-Beatles members vinyl sleeves. Sometime in 2020, the Church Village Collective (in case you were wondering what the CVCContinue reading “CVC – Get Real”
