Fresh Harvest #3.

Loose Tooth – Northampton, England, United Kingdom. A photo with fitting blur for a band whose sound is blurry but certainly not uncertain or uninviting. Formed partially from the ashes of Post-Hardcore band Death Kindly Waits For Me, Loose Tooth carry this progressive and emotive sound forward a notch, keeping...

The Franklys and The Forthcoming ‘Are You Listening?’

The Franklys – London, England, United Kingdom. Cover photo credit – Derek Bremner. A new generation of Garage Rock brought to us by Indie rockers The Franklys. London based and spanning origins from around the UK and distant Sweden, the band re-inventing the Garage sound of the mid 00’s with heavy...

False Heads – The ‘Gutter Press’ EP.

False Heads – London, England, United Kingdom. For our previous work on the band – Click Here. (Above) Photo credit: Gregory Hesse-Wagner. False Heads, a band that we’ve seen before and a band we have indeed heard before. A band whose past sounds we have dissected only for them to...

Three Kings High – ‘They Think They’re People’.

Three Kings High – Bristol, England, United Kingdom. The city of Bristol is a musical hub offering gratuitous amounts diversity. Now, obviously I’m not talking about musicals in the sense of some sleazey Broadway rip off that just so happens to be in Bristol and having had too many Old...

Valensole – The Forthcoming Debut ‘Where We Should Be’.

Valensole – Southampton, England, United Kingdom. The Southampton based Valensole can either be described as a Punk-Rock band that have a considerable amount of vaguely related influences or a Alternative Rock band that stray very close to Punk-Rock. These were my initial thoughts upon pressing play on the band’s debut EP...

Trigger Happy – ‘The Boy Who Lived’.

Trigger Happy – Butler, Pennsylvania, USA. For our previous work on the band – Click Here. This is a special one for us. We featured Butler natives Trigger Happy back in January 2015 around the time their debut EP Brains For Breakfast was released. The band’s appreciation for Punk, Psychedelic Rock and...

Some Kind Of Illness – ‘Souls’.

Some Kind Of Illness – Bolton/Manchester, England, United Kingdom. For our previous work on the band – Click Here. Soaring high in the open sky well above Manchester, Bolton and beyond, Some Kind Of Illness’ Souls release leaves me floating on airs. Its mellow nuances are spacey and psychedelic while...

Horrible – ‘But Is It Even Music, Really?’ In Review.

Horrible – Chicago, Illinois, USA. ‘Two songs about wars, two songs about sleazy youth, two songs from a plot about aliens made of sound coming to earth.’ Horrible are the Chicago answer to the nostalgic raucous bliss of the 80’s Indie Rock circuit. Hard rocking, melodic and undeniably chaotically beautiful,...

Dot Dash… The “Lifer” Band Of DC…

Dot Dash – Washington DC, USA. Photo credit: – J Scott Watson. With all the information, history and back catalogues this band have culminated in their individual pasts, I would be sat at this desk (of sorts) for weeks upon end and would likely produce volumes upon volumes with side...
