Monday Morning Alex Melton rose to prominence covering punk songs as country influenced songs and, as a result, garnered millions of streams. He’s now decided to release an album of his own original music. It’s a brave move for someone who was known for reinventing other people’s songs. The album, released on Pure Noise recor

I’m not sure there’s been anything like this in a long time, if ever. It’s out via Music Saves, on the 1 st  of May, time for a bit of pre-saving, I think! There is als

Tracklist: In The Name Of Blood Memory Cells Who I Used To Be The One Ain’t No Woman My Poison Desire It Was Written The End Of Time French darkwave, EBM and synthwave artist Sierra Veins has released her second album, 'In the Name of Blood', which was released in November including collaborations with Carpenter Brut, Health and Gunship and is playing three gigs in the UK in March in Edinburgh, Manchester and London. Trying to review this album is not easy, it’s so unique and

I have to start this review by confessing this is not my first Family Jools review, I thoroughly enjoyed what I’ve heard before so when I was asked to review their new single, I was absolutely up for it. However, this is a little bit different to their previous music, it’s rockier, it’s got a real groove to it, it’s got a southern rock feel to it, and it’s got anthem written all over it. This is the kind of song that will sound amazing live and should inspire some singing alo

Tracklist: Scapegoats Hold Your Nerve Pay The Ferry Truth Comes Crawling It Comes Before The Fall Right In Front Of You A Spartan Mass To The Sky You probably haven’t heard of Burned As Witches yet, but you will probably know who Burned As Witches actually is, Ash Drummer Rick McMurray. If you’ve ever had the privilege of seeing Ash live, you’ll know what a powerhouse of a drummer he is. So, Ash without Tim Wheeler on vocals, nope, not even close. It turns out Rick loves a bi

There are a few things you need to say about Elles Bailey before talking about how this gig was as it provides context. Firstly, she really doesn’t care what people think about her or say about her, in a very good way, she’s got attitude in spades but not arrogance. It’s the attitude of someone who has been given the chance to show good they are and isn’t going to let anything get in their way in doing so! Secondly, she has an amazing voice, her range, her control, her emotio

Off the back of their recent UK tour which I was lucky enough to see, DMA’s have released a new single, 'My Baby’s Place'. It’s very summery, very jangly and very melodic. It has a feel of the LA’s about it and also, not surprisingly given my previous statement, a 60’s vibe. It feels like the start of something new and could be a sign the direction they are going in. The DMA’s have a passionate fan base who love a good sing along, this single should add to that cannon of sing

Tracklist: 1. Into Oblivion 2. Parasocial Christ 3. Sepsis 4. The Killing Floor 5. El Vacio 6. St Catherine's Wheel 7. Blunt Force Blues 8. Bully 9. A Thousand Years 10. Devise/Destroy American metal titans Lamb Of God are back after four years with their tenth studio album 'Into Oblivion', released March 13th via Century Media & Epic Records.  'Into Oblivion' throws you right in at the deep end wit a powerful and intricate double-layered riff from Mark Morton and Willie Adle

No amount of words and pretty photos can ever truly convey the Mogwai live experience. It’s one of those occasions that has to be experienced and taken in in person. So when I try to tell you about the recent show at the Gateshead Glasshouse keep in mind it was probably at least 5 times better than my writing can put across! It’s my first time back here since the rebrand and the first time I’ve seen all of the downstairs seating removed to make one huge standing area …. I lik

The last time I was at Leeds Universities’ students union venue, Stylus, to see a band was the Lemonheads so quite a high bar for the Nova Twins then, one they knocked out the park. I’ve been a fan of Nova Twins for a couple of albums now, having been lucky enough to review both for this site, and yet, despite having had tickets to a previous tour, have never managed to see them live so I was really looking forward to this gig. I didn’t make it for the earlier support acts, I
