Singles in 150 Words: Manuka Hive, R.E.D
What I love about having an email address that any band can email in their music to is that every now and again, within the 6/10 tracks is a true gem, something I’d have never discovered without running Halfway 2 Nowhere and Manuka Hive‘s track R.E.D fits that description to a t. At…

Atlas Wynd mean business with single Helpless
Like an eager lover Atlas Wynd’s second released track of the year Helpless is focussed and means business. There is a nervous frantic energy to the song in its scant 100 seconds play time and it’s all punch and no flab. Atlas Wynd’s music is towards the heavy rock side…

P D Liddle – a welcome return for the former Dry The River vocalist.
While I’ve followed and enjoyed hundreds of bands and artists over the years there have only been a few where I’ve felt I would happily follow them to the ends of the nation and back for a chance to see them live. Dry the River was one such band and…

Live: Hit The North Festival 2018
The organisers of this years’ Hit The North Festival did not leave themselves an easy task of making the main festival the stand out day. With three incredible opening parties and a truly brilliant Meet The North you’d be forgiven for expecting the main festival to not live up to…

Single Review: Cabezudos, Calling Your Name
For the first time in several decades, the Liverpool music scene has a few bands it can be proud of. With Circa Waves and The Wombats on top of their game and upcoming bands such as The Jackobins and Rival Bones doing bits for the city, it’s easy to see…

Live: Live at Leeds Festival 2018
One of the banes of any festival is the wristband exchange. Live at Leeds is no exception, particularly when the exchange is at the music school and the only near-by venue is the Wardrobe. While I was up bright and early, and had set my heart on kicking off the…

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: SHAME – Gorilla, Manchester
I could almost see the bouncer rolling his eyes each time lead singer Charlie Steen got up close and personal to crowd surf amongst his rapt audience. That said the bouncer did have to frantically ensure the mike cable wasn’t accidently being tightly wound around someone’s neck as it bobbed…
