DMA’s: Album Review, For Now
The first time I ever saw DMA’s live was supporting The Courteeners in 2014 and I could not believe they weren’t from Manchester, let alone Australia. Their sound is so true to 90s British Rock music and their debut Hill’s End was an almost continuation of where Oasis left off, positioning them extremely…

Live: Pop Punk Pile-Up Festival 2018
Selby isn’t a place known for it’s music scene. Most would go as far as suggesting there isn’t one at all and they wouldn’t be too far wrong. What the hell was Adam Ruane of Riff Media thinking then trying to put on a three day, single venue festival in…

Live: Isaac Gracie – Crescent, York
Isaac Gracie is perhaps the most understated individual working in the music business right now. Having never listened to his music prior to the evening of his recent show in York, I found it hard to believe someone with such talent had completely escaped my radar. On a lovely Monday…

The Navettes – SLOW
Up until 2016, I held the steadfast opinion that guitar music was the only music worth considering in life. Since then though, the bands who have been pushing the boundaries of the music industry have been those that combine that quality guitar music, with synth-pop. Take Chvrches, Spector and more recently Thirty Seconds to…
