BOCA and The Self-Titled EP.

BOCA – Isle Of Wight, England, United Kingdom. Pop-Rock, a genre-moniker and label that because of the former part of it’s double barrelled name – as you’d expect – garners both criticism and disdain and often see’s people take a metaphorical side-step in the same way many people do with...

The Helters and The ‘Afghani Super Smack’ EP.

The Helters – Taunton, England, United Kingdom. Judging by the coat adorned by the band’s front man, I would say the band are a fan of Oasis. Review over. Just kidding, Taunton‘s The Helters do indeed count the seminal Brit-Pop band as an influence but their sound is so much...

Carter Daze – The ‘North Korean Democracy’ EP.

Carter Daze – Woking, England, United Kingdom. Intelligent but Nihilistic Indie-Punk that sounds like mid-to-late 90’s Ash crossed with elements of The Jam and a generally bleak heavily-Punk orientated approach to life and music. Review over, see you next time. No, not quite. Carter Daze hail from Woking and very...
