This is one waaaaay overdue blog. Little over three years ago I promised to meet up with West Coast of Scotland singer songwriter Colin Bell to talk about his album Pen to Paper. That never happened. I still don’t know why to this day but sitting here now listening to the album I am regrettingContinue reading “Fallen Arches – Pen to Paper”

Ahead of the April release of their debut album Brighton’s Hadda Be are back with an incendiary new single and video. Last month we looked at their ‘Another Life’ single which we loved.

New Zealand has been doing a lot of things right recently and their music scene is equally as strong as their current leadership.

The Stargazer Lilies – Purple Sunshine
Some bands create their own worlds. Caverns of sound where you wander aimlessly for hours in ecstatic joy, happy to be lost in their company. The Stargazer Lilies are that band for me.

His hushed vocal seals the deal, drawing usContinue reading “Dead Rituals – When The Lights Are Out”
