Hurtling at full force into 2019, Saltwater Sun release their new single Blood – taken from their forthcoming EP ‘The Great Deceiver’ out this April – a track with explosive guitars, shoe-gaze style and lyrics that ooze sass. The quintet’s typically addictive latest effort follows their 2018 return with heavyweight singles The Wire and Hot Mess, and explores a much […]

LIVE REVIEW – Bexatron w/ The Stoned Crows – ‘Hey You’ World Album Launch @ Two Tribes, Kings Cross – 17th Nov 18
And so, the moment had arrived! Simmering down in a quiet corner of Kings Cross lay sultry brewery, Two Tribes – a venue seemingly no stranger to endless nights of ‘sex, drugs and sausage rolls’, which this evening was to lay host to the highly anticipated worldwide album release and launch party for Bexatron’s ‘Hey […]
Sisters Liv’n’G Latest EP SHADES is More Ibiza Than Hartlepool!
Perhaps with the taint of the heatwave still lingering, it seems prevalent that a new stylistic tendency towards tropicality has emerged. While the Hartlepool seafront might not immediately resonate images of swinging palm trees and white-sand beaches, Latin beats complimenting a tropical-house style is precisely what’s on offer from the new EP ‘SHADES‘ from North-Eastern […]
‘New Blondie’ Bexatron Resonates High Energy Performance to Conquer Europe
Certain aspects of London sub-culture make it hard to disassociate yourself from the certain stereo-types that come to mind, namely – leather jackets, exhaust fumes and grit. Seemingly, there is never going to be a time where street level society will become too elite for bands that champion themselves as bridging alternative attitude with high […]
Powerful new singles ‘Fading Into Grey’ and ‘My Only Soul’ from Billy Lockett

The weird and wonderful world of Alice’s Night Circus
Back in 2005, Panic! At The Disco married debauchery, trip hop and cabaret pop in an open relationship that invited us all to explore the slightly twisted sides of us that others may not have understood. Panic! gave outcast teen emos a place to belong, but what about those of us who never truly left […]
Rare Americans are making a name for themselves with debut self titled album
Defining ‘punk’ is like trying to ask The Sex Pistols to please keep the noise down. Whilst the good intention might be there, it’s a truly futile effort. Throughout the years punk has evolved in both the UK and USA to mean different things and be recognised differently by every generation. Classic punk can, of […]
Cover Countdown
Every day new music is being created. Whether it be in high production recording studios or someone’s mum’s basement, the world will never be devoid of fresh sound as long as creative people are encouraged to pursue their talents. Yet not everything can start from nothing and many aspiring artists find themselves using the works […]
The return of Twenty One Pilots
Since their mainstream emergence in 2013, the duo known as Twenty One Pilots have relentlessly circled my musical peripheral. Yet, for a reason I cannot decipher, I have never really delved further than their most popular singles such as ‘Ride’, ‘Heathens’, ‘Stressed Out’ and the like. However, even though I may not follow the band […]
The Soundtrack of a Childhood
Not always being up to date with the latest consoles has allowed me to recently indulge in some forgotten video games that were true favourites growing up. Playing the games now has allowed my enjoyment to move beyond the games themselves to appreciate the effort put into their creation with, of course, a specific focus […]
Party Playlist
With the summer holidays finally upon us for some and just around the corner for others, most of us are probably ready to let all inhibitions go and have a well over due celebration. Whether it be a sizzling BBQ, getting ready for prom, psyching up for graduation or just wanting to unwind after a […]
The beginning of the Highest Hopes Foundation
Almost a year ago, not long after I took over the management of this blog, I published a post titled ‘Girls/Girls/Boys: LGBT anthem or insult? The debate.’ The post explored some of the issues fans of Panic! At the Disco had with their song ‘Girls/Girls/Boys’ but overall concluded that it has done much more good. […]
