He’s a former member of the Happy Mondays. Knows a thing or two about a Bic razor. But doesn’t feel he’s worthy of getting in Mick Jagger’s pants! KAV, real name Kav Sandhu, has formulated a band he believes will deliver the “live energy” previous group members have failed to capture. The Guardian once quoted him as [...]

Mother Nature’s Candy is as sweet as its title, a little too sweet at times but overall a lovely little pop EP. Mother Nature’s Candy sticks to a methodical formula of a vocal harmony intro followed by acoustic guitar with a gentle pop beat on the drums and power out with a simple riff, at [...]

Remember ‘that’ band Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong? me too. Baffling, right?  Well, three of TOY’s psych line-up consist of that youthful blunder. A blunder who decided they wanted to punch the indie big time, and actually, ended up with a deserved kick in the balls. Anyway, sometimes we forgive and it’s fair to say they have thrown the [...]

However, thousands also fail too. Even with massive claims of The Minx being the new Oasis, [...]

From: Manchestaaaa Members: Steven Dobb (Vox and Guitars), Lorna Blundell (Drums), Ollie Smith (Bass), Sally Mason (guest vocals) Look Like: Nice People. Look, they’ve got woolly hats on in their pictures on Facebook and everything. They must be some kind of folk band that sell potted jam to keep their hippy van topped up with [...]

Playing host to a range of fantastic nights such as the BBC Introducing and Communion Records showcases, The Ruby Lounge is fast becoming one of my favourite venues in Manchester, with tonight’s billing looking set to fulfil and surpass my expectations once again. Golden Firs is the events moniker for the evening and is the [...]

It’s a theatrical journey, I felt like I was listening to a Shakespearian tragedy. Repelled by the purposefully provoking lyrics from the glass throated voice of Bomar Faery yet drawn to the skillful pop/rock riffs, makes for an oxymoron of a listening experience. If there’s one thing to be thankful for growing up frustrated and [...]
