Latest Reviews

This Monday we caught up with Nashville-based country band Old Dominion in Manchester. Over the last few years, they’ve made several appearances in the UK, including performing with Thomas Rhett, playing at the Country to Country Festival as well as their UK tour last November. Now it seems they have established their name firmly in the UK country scene, seeing the sizeable number of fans that turned up in support of this band. In this review I have included the songs that made the biggest impression on me.

Irish Country artist Megan O’neill is about to release her latest single “Rootless” on October 25th. The song is from her forthcoming album. 

Brighton-based indie up and comers Penelope Isles released their long-awaited debut album Until The Tide Creeps In through Bella Union this month.

Icelandic folk pop sensations Of Monsters And Men are back with their long-awaited third studio album Fever Dream, and while it’s tremendous to have them back, it’s a very different band we welcome into the limelight this time round. 

Last Thursday we attended Michaela Anne's first UK headlining show at The Islingon in London. Having already eased her way into a UK audience the previous night supporting Madeline Orange solo at The Islington Assembly Hall - this was her time to shine with a full band behind her.

This Eternal Life is the fourth album release by multi-instrumentalist James Parkinson, who goes by the name of One Cure For Man.

Nashville based country star Michaela Anne was part of the lineup of the AmericanaFest, which took part in London this week.

This week we caught up with Alt Rock/Grunge band Slothrust at the Deaf Institute in Manchester, Wednesday 23rd.

After a few listens to Revelation, most listeners can find that the album does not always follow the pure reggae sound, as it is influenced by other genres, and hence results in a very unique sound. The work of Lee “Scratch” Perry is one of its own, with no similar record we can compare it to.
