The Blackburn based band Sky Valley Mistress play the Blues with the attitude of Rock n roll. The bands EP ‘The best thing you’ve never heard’ which includes four tracks of Bluesy passion is very promising indeed. Now, in this day and age people are not that bright. They are how can I put this…thick [...]

The Navigation is five tracks of nautical themed electro-pop from the lovely MAUD, who is based in London. She sings over music written by Philippe Locke.

Powers That Be is a new project from Tom Beecham, a New Yorker previously associated with Seattle based band The Raggedy Anns.

And tonight’s entertainment? [...]

The Southampton band The Cryptics debut EP ‘Seize the night’ is a four track feast of tuneful indie tunes of natural feeling. The first song ‘She saves the day’ is a vague yet alert tune that gets your toes tapping. It is somewhere between relaxing and vigilant with the vocals being wakeful and open-eyed. It [...]

Twisted Wheel are back on the road and touring material from their 2009 and 2012 albums in the run up to the summer festivals and their 3rd album release. Getting little radio airplay and known for putting in some serious touring time, its uplifting to see a bands fan base still growing by word of [...]

Hidden down a back alley in the depths of the Northern Quarter in the former squat know to many as Kraak Gallery I stood with a crowd of merely 20 people waiting patiently to see East India Youth aka William Doyle. If you haven’t heard of East India Youth don’t be dismayed as material only [...]

Four Demons is an EP of superstitious caterwauling from Ruby Tingle, a beautiful garden variety witch who has created an artistic outlet for her strange intentions. She makes handmade collages, sculptures and puppets of animals and humans in unusual scenes. These lean towards her macabre fascinations. Peruse her artwork; it exhibits a grotesque and vaudevillian [...]
