No celebration is complete without music and Ricardo Bacelar has used this to his advantage to create a fifteen-track album entitled Sebastiana bursting with culture and pride. Being Ricardo’s third album, the artist wanted to create something that would transcend musical styles and go beyond trends and fashion. With Sebastiana, Ricardo has recorded something that […]

Screamin’ Whisper are more than just ‘Filth’
With a band name like Screamin’ Whisper and an album name like Filth, you may be thinking these three young lads from Dublin and Edinburgh are cable of producing nothing but ear damaging noise. Well, I’m here to tell you that you wouldn’t be more wrong! Screamin’ Whisper have taken the elements of classic English […]
Satellite Ravens are taking the Rohde less travelled by with soaring new album, The Equinox
‘If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself’ is the exact mentality multi-instrumentalist and creator of Satellite Ravens, Carson Rohde, has applied to debut album, The Equinox. Birthed in Arizona but finding their wings in California, Satellite Ravens are a new twist on the one-man band by combining the sound of […]
IOTAPHI’s electro-noir art project, Kloudland, is threatening to take the world apart
Taking fashion style tips from Sia and music style tips from Nils Frahm, electronic duo IOTAPHI are putting the world and all its values under a musical microscope with their debut EP, Kloudland. From the depths of Ibiza’s valley and with roots in Athens, the duo has arisen on a pilgrimage of cinematic landscapes, disturbing […]
Welcome to the sound of Pretty. Odd…10 years on
Yesterday (March 25th) marked the day Panic! At the Disco’s second studio album, Pretty. Odd., reached a decade since it’s release. Whilst it can be argued that the punk rock band’s second album is either one you know all the songs from or three of them, it was a delve into a genre that provided […]
Say Amen for Panic! At the Disco
Panic! At the Disco have come a long way from singing about a whor-…I mean, a beautiful woman in 2005 to putting out possibly the club anthem of 2018. This week has been filled with some well kept (and some not so well kept) surprises for fans of the punk rock band. Already being pushed […]
The sound of summer is here a few months early with Jonny Dee’s The Human Experience
Music has provided and created many forms of escape for both artists and fans, a way to remove yourself from a world that just isn’t what you need it to be in the moment. So much focus has been put into creating musical worlds to hide in that a niche market has been left for […]
Slim Loris as you’ve never heard them before in new EP, Wild & Untamed
Music is evolution in the form of sound. Just because a band or artist may begin as one particular genre or style does not mean they should be pigeonholed, their wings clipped before they have even begun to soar. Instead we should encourage their musical creativity and welcome any change they go through with open […]
The album we’ve all been waiting for, Wartoad’s What Rough Beasts
After demanding the spotlight only in late 2017, Wartoad’s highly anticipated album What Rough Beasts is here and it’s everything you would and wouldn’t expect. Already having a pretty indecent reputation for their Christmas cover of ‘Merry Christmas Everybody’ and their debut original single ‘I Alone Can Fix It’, we’ve all been left to guess […]
Discovering Lindsey Stirling
Unlike the other artists featured on the small ‘Discovering’ series present on this blog; my discovery of Lindsey Stirling is not a recent one but more a resurgence. For those of you who do not know, Lindsey Stirling is an American violinist/dancer, two things no one would have thought could be combined with such success. […]
The 15th Anniversary of Fallen
Evanescence is the band who truly began my love affair with both music and writing. At the innocent, young age of only seven, I was taught innocence would get me nowhere. On March 4th, 2003 an album was released that would introduce me to the hardships of the world but would also help me to […]
MANIA isn’t done with you yet. Introducing Frosty and the Nightmare Making Machine
MANIA has managed to arrive like a bus, you wait for one and then two come along at once. After pushing back the release date for the album from late last year to January of this year, Fall Out Boy had a small ‘thank you’ for fans in the form of unreleased demos. It is […]
