A full lineup of indie-rock at Heartbreakers on a Saturday night.

This is a music blog, mostly

Based on the South Coast. These are my own thoughts after seeing live music and the journey. I will talk about vinyl I buy old and new. It might be something I see in the music news regarding forthcoming releases and other things that sparks my interest. This is not a music or media press site, this is short form content currently from the mind of one, my opinions reflect nobody else's, they are mine alone. Happy to collaborate, slide into my DMs or Contact me.
