Kashmere – Hoxton
Of the few things I know about Hoxton is that it’s an area in the east end of London, it’s great for a night out, and is near to the wonderful legendary Rough Trade independent record shop. Given Stockport band Kashmere’s new single is also called Hoxton, perhaps they missed…

The Dark LP – Places
Leeds Alt-Rock trio The Dark LP’s latest single Places builds upon their 2015 EP’s electrifying sound, offering more bravado in the anthemic choruses and intense guitar riffs. The band, consisting of Alex Cairns (Vocals and Lead Guitar), Nick Doyle (Bass Guitar), and Richard Parker (Drums), performed most recently at Double…

Review: Different Types of Love – LELO
LELO, the freshest faced singer-songwriter, has released his debut EP Different Types Of Love – four tracks of synth-heavy, Indie Dream-Pop, with an atmosphere so chilled-out that it threatens to collapse in on itself. LELO’s opening track ‘HOME’ immediately acts as a blueprint for the EP’s direction and stylistic influences,…

King Nun – Spunge
King Nun are a quartet of four twenty year old’s from London and have recently released their new single ‘Sponge’, a B-Side to their ear-bursting track ‘Hung Around’. ‘Sponge’ offers a departure from King Nun’s typically catchy violence as exemplified in ‘Hung Around’, instead offering a more obviously carefully constructed…

Wolfe Sunday – Wolfe Sunday
I have a romantic image of the wandering minstrel, who back in the day would explore far and wide, hoping to earn food and a bed for the night by singing a few songs and telling a few tales. These intrepid souls would laugh in the face of smallpox or…

The Elephant Trees – Monster
Where do I even begin with this new Elephant Trees single. As you might recall we fell in love with this band earlier on in the year when they released “90 Degrees” and gave a rousing show at the Wardrobe in Leeds. There was something immediately special about the band…

Larkins Special Feature – Single, Live and Interview
What better way than to spend a birthday than at a gig? Rather than sit at home midweek counting grey hairs it was time to have a trip to Leeds Oporto, slowly sink a couple of schooners of real ale and most importantly listen to class music. This time Larkins…

In Your Prime – 24
In Your Prime have been on the local Leeds scene for coming up to a year now and have built up quite a reputation as a formidable live band, but ’24’ is the first recorded piece of music we’ve heard from them. It does not disappoint. The track starts with…

Live: Ezra Furman – Rescue Rooms, Nottingham
Ezra Furman and the Boyfriend’s Wednesday night show at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham cemented their place as one of the greatest live bands I have ever had the fortune to see, blasting out a none-stop, hour and forty minute set of earnest yet raucous early 60s punk-rock music that…

Callaghan – The Other Side
US based singer-songwriter Callaghan’s new EP The Other Side offers four tracks of well-polished pop-music which actually smell of Radio 2 Airtime. The titular opening track is a charged opener to the EP. The soft piano opening and Callaghan’s delicate vocals do not offer anything new to the genre but…

H2N picks of 2017 so far
So, we’ve just passed the halfway mark of the year and what a year it has been for music. The demise of Linkin Park, the resurgence of Papa Roach and the mind blowing Royal Blood album have all been distinct highlights so far. But H2N is a grassroots blog, a…

Live: Glass Mountain & Brooders – Crescent, York
If my many years of gig attending has taught me anything, it’s that shows where you go expecting nothing at all more often than not end up being some of the best nights out. Tuesday night at the Crescent in York was no different as Glass Mountain and Brooders closed…
