The Clause are on tour promoting their first album release, ‘Victim Of A Casual Thing’ which has gone top 20 in the album charts and No.1 in the indie charts and it is well deserved. I first saw The Clause at The Chalk in Brighton three years ago as the first support act before for…
Victorious Festival do not release there heavily anticipated lineup until next week but rumours are rife on the internet as to who many think or want them to be. One thing is for sure, if past years are anything to go by we won’t be disappointed. A highlight leading up to the release of the…
Food for thought: I’ve been reading a lot about Ai in music, who hasn’t? I even had a go myself last year using lyrics i’d written at University. Now that the Ai generated country track ‘Walk My Walk’ has topped US Billboard charts! I personally wasnt expecting it, I thought Ai music was aimed moreso…
Before I reflect on an evening spent watching Depeche Mode M in IMAX I need to say it’s great to see great Arthouse films getting made. This was a true Arthouse passion project. If you search what that means Google will tell you “Arthouse films are independent, often experimental, films intended for a niche market…
Great find this week, ‘Twinkle’ (1995) and ‘When We Were Young’ (1996) by Whipping Boy. Still looking for that copy of the album ‘Heartworm’ by the band released in 1995 which these two singles were from. I remember hearing Twinkle for the first time in about 1996, first on an Indie Compilation of latest singles…
In a week that The Farm released news of a new album for 2025, one of the main songs that started it all, All Together Now turns 34. I say one of the songs as they also had the mighty album Spartacus to back it up with a track list that did not require a…
Last night it was Ian Broudie’s The Lightning Seeds taking to the stage at the 1865 in Southampton, I was lucky enough to be front row seeing them at Victorious Festival earlier this year but was not going to miss them on the 35 Years of Tour as well. Having been a fan since ‘Life…
I do not have any big insights into their announcement, that’s what the proper music press are for. I’m just a lifelong fan right from the beginning (which I have mentioned here in previous posts), so thought I would write a quick blog post to share my joy and spread the word to anyone who…
I’m sure it was just pure coincidence the Cast played in Southampton the same day that Southampton played Everton at home. There were certainly a lot of Liverpool accents at the gig although John Power is reportedly a passionate Liverpool fan so I very much doubt it. The band took to the stage to a…
We were not ‘Bilked’ by this band, they paid there fans back in full and a gave a tip. I remember hearing Spiked (released 2018) a few years ago and instantly adding it to my regular playlist where it has remained since leading me to order the Vinyl of the self titled debut album on…
