ALBUM REVIEW: Jake Bellissimo – Piece Of Ivy
Artists creating content under monikers isn’t anything new but seeing a musician go by the name of “gay angel” is eye catching to say the least. While most artificial names musicians will use are only skin deep, Jake Bellissimo’s use of the title is a perfect indication of the music he provides: wonderfully blissful and, if…

ALBUM REVIEW: Kid North – New Waters
French pop trio deliver an album dripping with synth pop greatness In most album reviews, the first couple of paragraphs are spent describing the act, their influences etc. before displaying even a hint of the writer’s opinion on the music in question. Fuck that though because what we have here is an album that exceeded…

ALBUM REVIEW: ZAYN – Mind of Mine
Former One Direction member hits out with a mediocre debut lacking in creativity or charm Is it a criminal offence to leave a boy-band and not have to follow it up with a solo effort? At the age of 23, Zayn Malik probably has less of an inkling to settle down in a nice bungalow in the…

TRACK REVIEW: Sunrise Skater Kids – Rylo Ken
If you couldn’t tell from the release date of Sunrise Skater Kids debut album being April 1st then it’s worth mentioning the band are as much of a legitimate emo band as The Lonely Island are a hip hop act. After last year’s success with his satirical album Beating A Dead Horse, Jarrod Alonge is…

TRACK REVIEW: The Last Shadow Puppets – Miracle Aligner
“It’s about a yoga teacher” Alex Turner says in his Yorkshire heavy tone when Zane Lowe asks what his and long time friend Miles Kane’s latest single is about.

TRACK REVIEW: Biffy Clyro – Wolves Of Winter
Roguish Scottish rockers make their return, sounding angrier than ever on their latest single It’s been a while since we last heard a brand new album from bearded three piece act Biffy Clyro (3 years, 1 month, 22 days but who’s counting?) who since the release of ambitious double LP Opposites have been touring extensively, playing…

GIG REVIEW: Wolf Alice @ Barrowlands
It’s fair to say that Wolf Alice are a totem to indie rock, dominating 2015 with their grunge-lite sound and powerful live shows during the annual festival season as well as their drenge supported tour that was a wet dream for anyone who has picked up a copy of NME. So whenever I walked up…

EP REVIEW: Fake Boyfriend – Mercy
RELEASE OF THE WEEK Looking at the tags on Fake Boyfriend’s bandcamp will tell you all you need to know about them before diving right into this punk rock rich release: existential crises, heartbreakers, heartbroken, and philly sad girls. On Mercy, their first EP, it’s clear that they’ve hit all these tags quite well, most of all…

TRACK REVIEW: ROSTAM – EOS
That new Vampire Weekend album you’ve been waiting patiently for might be pushed back further with the recent release of multi instrumentalist and producer Rostam Batmanglij’s new single EOS. EOS came about naturally after Rostam discovered an old voice memo on his phone. It’s rare that that happens for me—I’m always collecting ideas on my…
