Mustang E.P. by Hannah Grace
This E.p. just exploded into my ears in a way that reminded me of later-era White Stripes. The opening song is hugely-energetic that doesn’t let up for a second. It’s labelled as “pop” on my music subscription but I don’t think that does this E.P. justice. It’s got a chugging, powerful groove that would strangle…

Who’s that knocking at the window(s)?
So yesterday I rage-quitted Windows 10 for its constant blue-screening. None of my games would work under the Linux distro I installed. So now I have re-installed Windows 10 with the vain hope of it working fine. One thing I didn’t actually think about during my immature rage yesterday, was to debug the issue –…

Ladyhawke – Wild Things Video
I can’t express how much Ladyhawke’s music has grown on me in the short month since I discovered her. The song “Wild Things” was immediately one of my favourites from her latest album of the same name. I have just seen the music video for this song and it has somehow made me love the…

The Bride by Bat For Lashes
On June the 25th, 2008 I went with some friends of mine to watch Radiohead play in Victoria Park in London. The were touring in support of their album “In Rainbows”, and in support of them was a then little-known artist called Bat for Lashes. It is a huge regret of mine now that I…

The new Ghostbusters film wasn’t terrible
When I first saw the trailer to this film I had the same thoughts as many fans of the original film – “oh great, another classic film that somebody’s gonna kill off”. But I went to see it today based on the positive reviews I’d seen and do you know what? I actually enjoyed the…

Fast Moving Cars by Carla dal Forno
This single, and indeed its accompanying song, “Better Yet”, is one of the nicest musical surprises I’ve had recently. I’d never heard of Carla Dal Forno before stumbling upon the song “Fast Moving Cars”. The songs on here are so wonderfully bleak, especially “Better Yet”. I don’t know what it is about the atmosphere that…

A Deeper Appreciation For Music
As I’m writing this current review, of Bat For Lashes’ latest album, I’m realising that I’m gaining a deeper understanding of the songs than I would have done simply from just listening to them. I’m finding myself focusing and even studying the music and the lyrics and feel like I’m getting so much more out…

Wild Things by Ladyhawke
I made my finger bleed playing along to one of my favourite songs on this album – the titular song, “Wild Things”. The song isn’t fast, and I’m not particularly great on guitar – I had simply been bitten on the index finger of my fingering hand by our hamster, Moomin. But I didn’t care,…

Midnight Machines by Lights
Over the past few years I’ve been noticing how things have more of an affect on me than they did when I was younger. Films that touch on the human condition move me more than they did; songs about a loved one have a greater affect as I imagine myself and my girlfriend in place…

Interview with Katie Ellie
Katie Ellie is an artist I discovered by accident whilst searching Soundcloud, and I’m glad I did. Despite her career still being in its early stages, she has already had airtime on BBC radio, as well as being nominated by the Hollywood Music Awards for the Best Alternative song for 2015, with her original song…

One of my favourite bands at the moment is Florida-based duo “Priest“, whose album I previously wrote about here. I have recently had the awesome pleasure of being able to interview Madeline from “Priest” about herself, what inspires her and some of her interests. Check out the interview below. Please tell us about yourself in as…
