Music Video Review: Love It If We Made It- The 1975

The 1975 are known for being good at writing profound lyrics and experimenting with new and exciting styles of music. However, something they are not good, but in fact brilliant at seems to be the art of keeping their devoted fans in suspense. After weeks of waiting we finally and suddenly got the music video …

Review: Nightmares- Easy Life

Leicester band Easy Life are back with a new banger in the form of their latest track ‘Nightmares’. There seems to be no stopping this talented five piece from making quality tune after quality tune- I still have their previous EP ‘Frank’ on repeat! This new track is personal and intimate and though the vibe …

Track to Track: Slaycation- Mediums

If the sounds of King Krule, Beach Fossils and Orange Juice all walked into a bar... a) it'd probably be the coolest shindig going and b) ‘Slaycation’ by up and coming indie pop artist Junior Abnert (front man of solo project Mediums) would be born. The three track EP is the perfect fusion of grunge …

Review: Sleep- Superego

Midlands’ quartet Superego are breaking through the music scene with their new, grunge infused single ‘Sleep’. ‘Sleep’ is more than just a classic indie-rock head banger. The vocals are hazy and almost phantasmagorical, giving this track a real dark edge to it. There are strong guitar and bass riffs throughout, therefore crafting a distorted and …

Note to Note: Give Yourself a Try- The 1975

It’s been a stretch of electric anticipation from fans as they waited enduringly for The 1975’s electric new single ‘Give Yourself a Try'. The 1975’s songs are often very personal and almost have an autobiographic and confessional tone about them but ‘Give Yourself a Try’ seems to be even more so than the others what …

Review: Grandfather Clock- Thea

Once upon a time she was the inspiration for Rex Orange County’s second studio album but finally we see the ‘Apricot Princess’ Thea Morgan-Murrell drop her debut single ‘Grandfather Clock’ and it’s wonderful. Thea has taken all the ingredients for the perfect bedroom pop song and turned them into a sort of ethereal and dreamlike …

One Year of Rex Orange County’s Album ‘Apricot Princess’

I discovered the distinct and raw sound of singer-songwriter Alex O’Connor, more commonly known as Rex Orange County, in September of 2017 and haven’t stopped listening to him since. Today we celebrate the first birthday of his second album ‘Apricot Princess’, a musical masterpiece, truly showcasing O’Connor’s talent through a blissful array of mellow chord …

Album Review: Staying at Tamara’s- George Ezra

4 years down the line and George Ezra is back with another masterpiece in the form of his 11 track album ‘Staying at Tamara’s’. This is an album that I have been waiting on for years now and it’s safe to say that Ezra did not disappoint! It’s a sun soaked work of art, filled …

Note to Note: Room 27- Rejjie Snow

From Beethoven to Bowie, there has always been certain themes and cultures that come and go in the world of music. One that I hadn’t given too much thought about until listening to Rejjie Snow’s track ‘Room 27’ was the idea of the ’27 club’, formed of legendary artists that died aged only 27. This …

Live Review: High Tyde at O2 Academy Leicester

It might have been a cold winter’s night outside of Leicester’s O2 Academy on 24th February 2018, but Brighton rockers High Tyde set the entire venue on fire with their electric performance. I have to admit, I wasn’t an avid High Tyde fan before the gig; I merely went to celebrate a friends’ birthday and …
