Earlier on in the month, we headed over to West Yorkshire from York, to watch York based band The Howl and the Hum headline the Brude to a sold-out crowd. The show was nothing short of musical perfection as the four-piece rattled through their eclectic catalogue of hits, showcasing brand-new…

Faux Pas face up to self-medicated sedation with ‘That’s My Ego’ The York music scene is one that most would describe as “underground” only due to the fact, nobody outside of York really knows it exists. With few quality venues it’s difficult to make a name for yourself outside of…

Drive is an apt title for this EP from London four-piece Dutch Mustard as all three tracks have a real driving rhythm and force to them.  Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine are the obvious comparison but Dutch Mustard are certainly more than a replica or nostalgia band with their songs…

I wasn’t going to do a review of Skeleton Coast Festival.  I’m off on holiday tomorrow.  Hurricane Dorian permitting.  But sometimes you’ve got to give a bit back.  Skeleton Coast is one of those times. Skeleton Coast Festival is in its fourth year.  I am ashamed to say this is…
