Breakdown of ‘This is America’
We watch films like The Purge, sit through countless hours of Black Mirror and seek comfort in believing the world has yet to reach a point of such disparity, such total depravity and degeneration. But we’re wrong. Whilst it may not be heavily collected and played on a loop before our eyes, our world is […]
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 […]
RedFaces’ new single ‘Messed Up Feeling’
Since seeing RedFaces live last month, I haven’t been able to stop listening to them. Replaying song after song, which is kind of difficult (and probably a nuisance to housemates) when they only had three tracks available. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard to complain when the tracks are nothing short of brilliant indie noise, […]
Shuba’s down-to-earth single ‘Stupid’
Trying to break through into a new, niche musical market can prove to be difficult and sometimes near impossible. Yet, putting yourself forward in an established, mainstream market can prove just as challenging in the attempts to stand out from the crowd.

After being introduced to […]

It was the summer of 2009…
Summer has officially come to an end. School, university and work are all creeping up on us to blow away the hot summer breeze and sweep our carefree days under the rug of Autumn. Leaving nothing but our memories and the echo of songs long forgotten. A common reaction to the passing of time is […]

J.J Leone is redefining exactly what it means to be an independent artist in the modern day music scene.
