Nothing is perfect, no matter how hard we try. No amount of preparation or organisation can guarantee that things will play out exactly as planned. Taking on too much can become overwhelming, even as an adult, but as a teenager it can feel like the world is crashing around you. In the recent weeks I’ve […]

From the Vault: The Young Veins
After a week’s break from this blog, filled with nothing but countless hours of essay writing, I’m about ready for the summer to start, and I know I’m not the only one. The week away also gave me time to reflect and fall back into music that has been forgotten or, for some, never heard. […]

Adam 888 takes us on a journey of cosmic spirituality with ‘Chakra 123’
Sometimes artists find music, other times the music seeks out the artists. In the case of Adam 888, music called out and took an unrelenting grip until the two became fused in a comic trap through which blissful sound would be made. Based in Sweden, Adam saw his career excel as a professional skier until […]

Travel Playlist
Travelling; it’s got to be done because nobody wants to stay at Point A forever. With the Easter Break over, people all over are returning home from holidays abroad or back from home towns to their lives at school/university/work. As great as the time away can be, the long hours of travelling can sometimes be […]
Slim Shady makes a return in violent new music video for ‘Framed’
Sometimes a music artist’s lyrics have to be taken with a pinch of salt, the words can’t always be interpreted so literally, and we have to listen for the hidden meanings inside the metaphors. Due to this, artists have been known to create characters and adopt personas dependant on the subject matters of their songs. […]
Todrick Hall is The Greatest Showman
Although The Greatest Showman came out a few months ago now, the film’s music has created a world I have become utterly lost in. From the stomping introduction of ‘The Greatest Show’ through the sensational ‘This is Me’ to the feel good and uplifting ‘From Now On’, I have searched the internet for anything even […]
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 […]
Come and see the opening band, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me
A song, music video and tour dates announcement all in one day? You can’t say I Don’t Know How But They Found Me (IDKHow) never gives us anything. On March 14th, Dallon Weekes and Ryan Seaman’s 80s pop punk project had a few things to say after months of seeming inactivity. Of course, IDKHow have […]
