Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – Easy Now
If there was an award for ‘The Unarguably and Nailed-On-Certain Biggest, Most Memorable Songwriter of The 1990s’, it would go to Noel Gallagher. If anyone’s disagreeing with that statement, nay fact, the first three Oasis albums and the Britpop legend’s forays with The Chemical Brothers will prove them undeniably wrong. So the dip in musicalContinue reading “Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – Easy Now”
Tennis – One Night With The Valet
Laid back indie-pop couple Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley, better known by the moniker: Tennis, return to the public arena with an easy going, DIY soul groover. ‘One Night With The Valet’ packs in keyboard, drums and a fuckload of synthesiser, with Moore’s voice at it’s breathy, supernal sweetest over Riley’s immaculately unblemished production. NotContinue reading “Tennis – One Night With The Valet”
Dead Writers – Lisa
Some bands write songs, other bands manage to inject the essence of an entire novel into a sub-five minute piece of music. London purveyors of debauch Dead Writers have managed the second feat on new single ‘Lisa’, a magnificent, vaudevillian chronicle inspired by ‘Notes From The Underground’ that recounts a Dostoevsky-style tale set in pre-revolutionContinue reading “Dead Writers – Lisa”
Weezer – I Want A Dog
Years, scenes, SZNZ come and go, but Weezer remain. A band who have inspired many a scene but never been a part of any. And why have they managed to stick around? Because at some point over the past three decades they hit upon, if not pioneered, a winning formula that includes: 80s metal riffs,Continue reading “Weezer – I Want A Dog”

There actually is a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard, a million reviews have rejoiced in telling the world over the past couple of days. It’s named Jergins Tunnel, leading to Long Beach, California, and having looked at a few pictures it’s a fair bit grubbier these days than the LA songstress would have us believe. ButContinue reading “Lana Del Rey – Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd”
whenyoung – Unchained
Irish alt-pop duo whenyoung have already dished out two massive, expansive and perfectly formed pristine tunes this year with ‘A Little Piece Of Heaven’ and ‘The Laundress’ but before 2022 ends the Limerick twosome have decided to launch possibly the best of the bunch out into the world as well, just for good measure. ‘Unchained’Continue reading “whenyoung – Unchained”

Ramping up the rock’n’roll all the way to its vaudeville peak, Damien Luke and The Sweet Beast are exploding back onto your stereo with their second single, ‘Mad Love’, choosing to eschew sixty years of culture and taking their favourite musical medium right back to its very genesis, tapping straight into the 1950s masterclass ofContinue reading “Damian Luke and The Sweet Beast – Mad Love”
Bethan Lloyd – Cutting Circuits
Bethan Lloyd describes her new single ‘Cutting Circuits’ as “a celebration of relinquishing control, both internally and externally. Changing the pathways of one’s life and opening up to genuine and powerful experiences of awe” and, as peculiar as it may seem to say, you can almost feel those very things happening as the track unfurls.Continue reading “Bethan Lloyd – Cutting Circuits”
Fate Of The Sun – Hey Mate, Hey Mate!
Picture the scene: you’ve met a pal for a swift pint after work or stopped in a bar with your other half during a weekend afternoon shopping trip and you’re accosted by a total loose canon you used to go to school with or some live wire friend of a friend you had a 5Continue reading “Fate Of The Sun – Hey Mate, Hey Mate!”
