The Lathums review: I cannot fault The Lathums. They have been impressing me a lot these last few years and their new track, “Reflections Of Lessons Left” reminds me why Indie was the genre which first got me into music way back when. This new single from their album, “Matter Does Not Define” is the
Viagra Boys Review: Swedish post-punk Viagra Boys are back and they slap me like a wet fish with their new song, “Uno II”.

Song Analysis (Viagra Boys Review)
Counting Crows review: American rock band, Counting Crows are back and with their new single, “Spaceman In Tulsa” they remind me why they are still one of the most influential rock bands on the planet.

The Streets Review: The Streets led by Mike Skinner return and they send me straight back to the early 2000s with their new song, “How to Win at Rock Paper Scissors”. I always remember first hearing “Dry Your Eyes” back in 2004 and although they have struggled to get back to the peak of their
Fontaines D.C. Review: You will not have to trawl through many new indie playlists until you discover something from Fontaines D.C. They are the flavour of modern times and everyone seems to want a bit of them, am I in awe of them? Not quite, not just yet anyway but I am growing more fond
New Album (Manic Street Preachers Review) Manic Street Preachers Review: I never get tired of Manic Street Preachers and they are one of the few bands from yesteryear which continue to excite me.

Alessia Cara review: If you have been keeping an eye on my most recent reviews, you will soon discover that I have a soft spot for Alessia Cara; her music is delightful! That is probably the best way to describe her new song, “Fire” too from her recent album “Love & Hyperbole” which dropped on
My Morning Jacket review: It is hard to believe that My Morning Jacket have been around since 1998, they still sound so fresh and their new track, “Squid Ink” is juice for thirsty rock fans, including me who is in love with this new arrival from the American band. The track is produced by Brendan
Sabrina Carpenter Review: I would not call myself a diehard Sabrina Carpenter fan, especially when comparing my love for her music to what appears like half of social media. But, I am a sucker for a good old-fashioned pop hit and that is what “Busy Women” is, her new single which is out now. Charming
I am absolutely smitten with the new composition, “Glare of Us” by Evgeny Grinko. It is a beautifully put-together composition with heartwarming piano tones heavenly matching the sentiment of the rising strings. The piece is from Evgeny’s new album, “Winter Moonlight” and it is just one of the many gems found on there. Take A
Alt Rock Textures American rock band, Sleep Theory knock me from my chair for all the right reasons with their new song “Static”. I wouldn’t consider this track metalcore myself but it certainly touches on that style with its alt-rock textures. It is explosive and everything I could have hoped for from the rising group.
Ohio Rockers Ohio rockers, The Black Keys get back to it with their new song, “The Night Before”.

Dance Floor Smash Hit Lady Gaga is back with an immediate dance-floor hit “Abracadabra”. It is track 2 on her new album, “MAYHEM” and it is the third single release from Lady Gaga in recent times, following on from “Die With A Smile” and “Disease”. My first opinion? Quintessential Gaga. If you are a fan
Admiration I, as with many others, have become a strong admirer of Teddy Swims. I recall walking past a venue in Leeds some years ago, wondering why there were huge queues of people early stood on outside early afternoon eager to spot their idol, only to find out it was Teddy Swims and since then
Nina Nesbitt brings magic once again with her new release, “Enough”. This new release from the Edinburgh-born artist, released through Apple Tree Records quenches my thirst for unorthodox folk and she takes a leap outside of the box with a soundscape which glows from the opening note. Powerful Delivery The track starts with a country
Mellow and Introspective Newcastle indie maestro, Sam Fender returns and with a bang he releases, “Arm’s Length”. This new track brings a mellow and introspective quality to the forefront and it features a twinkling guitar riff reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac. While the song maintains a laid-back tempo, it doesn’t quite reach the dynamic peaks found
Inhaler are back with new release, “A Question Of You” and it is a indie-rock hit which you do not want to miss this new music Friday! It has a feel-good indie edge and it is is great to hear the band exploring new ground while also staying true to the sound which many of
