Frank Turner “Be More Kind” Perhaps inevitably, given how long he’s been around, Frank Turner has got a bit of grief over his change in style. People seem far too […]
Astral Drive “S/T” Astral Drive is actually the name for this release by Phil Thornalley and this album is apparently his vision of a long-lost album from the 70’s. Phil […]

Hanni El Khatib “Savage Times” It’s weird how you can discover an artist and the coincidences that then surround it. We saw Hanni’s album “Head In The Dirt” whilst browsing […]

Nick Howe “The Struggle Is Real” Every now and then it’s really nice to just approach an artist fresh and take a chance on how they might sound. Indeed, all […]
Josh Flagg “Tracing Shapes” When we first saw the name, we expected Josh Flagg to be ‘yet another’ slow paced and quiet singer song writer. However, when the press release […]
Margaret Glaspy “Emotion and Math” This may be Margaret Glaspy’s debut album, but she’s worked hard for it. Originally from California she moved to the East Coast and spent time […]
