Eureka! What’s this? It’s Eurekas (no ‘The’ and no exclamation mark, get it right), Newport’s newest band, and there’s some familiar names in this rather suave/slightly moody looking four-piece! We’ll go left to right from the bands first and only known official photo and thus start with bassist Rhys Jones… Read more

Feverjaw are a relatively new band, or at least they feel like a new band. Such is the effect on time perception the pandemic has had, I was a little shocked to find out that they have been releasing music for nearly two years, but in those two years they… Read more

I’ve barely written a word in anger for about two months. Blame it on COVID, blame it on the heat, blame it on my general lethargy, but what I really didn’t need was to focus my mind on sitting down to write a review, to get to 300 words, only… Read more

Deep in the depths of the creative Carmarthenshire community sits Llanelli’s ‘Oblong’ – A beautifully bilingual trio, jam packed with catchy angular buzz-saw guitar riffs and enough post-punk swagger to knock over a rampant manatee hooked on analeptics!

I’m quite excited to finally get my head around the new “Puns” EP from Bristol based Instrumental duo Common Spit. I checked out a fantastic livestream where they performed a short set at the Exchange in Bristol earlier this week (which is currently up on their Facebook page I believe). Now,… Read more

OK, so I wasn’t really sure what I was going to get here, never heard of the band (which I will refer to as BPIAC to save me stressing every time I have to spell Chrysler). I looked at the info and noticed the small print that read “Written And… Read more

The music world is an ever evolving/expanding community, with seemingly new genres and sub-genres being created by the week. It’s great and I love exploring as much as I possibly can in the time I have available to indulge, but bloody hell it can be hard to keep up with.… Read more

So, we’ve come to this… An album so extra-terrestrial in its sound, so intricate in its construction and intrinsically expansive in its concept, that I’m lost for words for how best to start the review for the fantastic second album by Deep Hum called ‘The Boys Cosmic’. The band describe themselves as a… Read more
