About Sound

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

What an introduction this is to Bristolian singer/songwriter Joe T Johnson. OK, so introduction isn’t strictly true, three of the four songs have already been released as singles over the course of the last 12 months and have been readily available for streaming. But for the first time, all three… Read more

Dot.s are a five piece band from Atlanta Georgia. This is my first introduction to the band, so was a little curious to hear their material, especially with the MGMT comparison. “Cardboard  Queen” is part of a double A Side (for some unknown reason, despite several downloads and sacrificial offerings… Read more

When I decided to start writing these reviews I was wondering what I’d get to start with. My other big concern was whether I’d be able to write something interesting about something without being an arsehole about it. Luckily both answers came with this first review. You see, I have… Read more
