Ever since Everything Everything burst onto the scene in 2008 (they’ve been around a long time now!) with ‘Suffragette Suffragette’, they’ve been going from strength to strength. 2015’s ‘Get to Heaven’ was a hugely successful record and anyone who was lucky enough to see their two Glastonbury performances on that tour cycle – especially the…
Signed to our friends at Audio Antihero, it’s with a heavy heart we review the final album from CHUCK (known to friends and family as Charles Griffin Gibson). The fantastically named ‘Frankenstein Songs for the Grocery Store’ is an album full of songs ‘about diet, exercise, work, love, TV and animals’. It’s CHUCK’s last album…
Maisonneuve Music are set to release ‘Time Side / Memory Side: A Tribute to R.E.M.’s Out of Time’ in a weeks and Hamilton, Ontario’s Max the Lesser has contributed his own take on ‘Me in Honey’.

It’s easy to see why. Her songs sound like a combination of Kevin Devine and Sharon Van Etten and ‘Interstate Vision’ is an acoustic and sparse…
Everything Everything – ‘A Fever Dream‘ (live) This video sees Everything Everything showcase the title track from their new album in all its glory. It opens in uncharacteristically sparse and piano-led fashion, giving plenty of space for Jonathan Higgs’ falsetto to breathe. Within a minute, the glitchy Radiohead-esque elements to come in before the bass…
We’ve been hearing good things about Bellevue Days for quite a while now and when we saw them at 2000 Trees, we were suitably unpressed. Playing the festival mere days after releasing the ‘Rosehill’ EP, the Croydon four-piece have plenty more exciting gigs in the pipeline – including appearances at Citadel and the Summer Westival…
Already played twice in a row by Daniel P. Carter on Radio 1’s Rock Show (and with another daytime airing on the station to boot) The Xcerts have made a welcome return with ‘Feels Like Falling in Love’. On 2014’s ‘There Is Only You’ album, the trio delved into a more Springsteen or Tom Petty-esque…
