Doubly so when that release is the new single from Dublin’s hottest new act, Krypton Bulb. This band delivers high octane, gutsy rock ‘n’ roll. They have developed a reputation for incendiaryContinue reading “Krypton Bulb – Jackie’s Man”

Under The Sun – Ocean Breeze
Matt Catling returns in his Under the Sun moniker with another slice of truly unique experimental shoegaze.

Peplo – Stranger Than Her Bedfellows
I recently found myself in Glasgow on a cold Monday evening downstairs in The 13th Note. I’m a big believer in getting along to see all the bands on a bill.

Mark Peters – Switch On The Sky
After the recent reissue of Engineers early releases, I was over the moon to hear that Mark Peters was releasing a new album called Red Sunset Dreams on Sonic Cathedral.
