CONTINUE READING  Having hit the heady heights of chart success in the mid 90s with super hits like 'Govinda' and 'Hush', psychedelic rockers Kula Shaker have returned with a brand new studio album, 'Wormslayer'. It follows the band's 2024 album Natural Magick, which saw the band entering the UK charts. This new record carries all of the hallmarks of a Kula Shaker record, crammed full of psychedelia, with Crispin's distinctive vocal work putting the Kula Shaker stamp well and truly on each track.
CONTINUE READING  If you were around in the 1990s then you will have no doubt heard of Liverpudlian indie rockers, Cast, they made a splash back then with songs like 'Finetime', 'Alright' and 'Walkaway' to name just a few. They released their last album in 2024 'Love is the Call' followed by a huge tour opening up for Oasis. Now that the dust has started to settle on that amazing journey, the lads are back with their eighth studio album 'Yeah Yeah Yeah' and it is a proper belta.
CONTINUE READING  " I have never used the phrase moreish for vocals but I can't think of another way to describe it." Geordie masters of metal Priapism have recently dropped their debut offering and it is a proper banger. The album Rock Hard is a record that , from the band name and album title alone is packed full of tongue in cheek humour for sure but this is band is no one trick pony.
CONTINUE READING  Durham's finest, Million Years dropped their new single 'Circles' back in December. We have given it a spin, continue reading to find out what we think of it.
CONTINUE READING  Avenue/Rhino return to one of the most distinctive partnerships in late-sixties and early-seventies music with The Very Best of Eric Burdon and WAR, arriving this Record Store Day Black Friday. Presented as a two-disc CD set alongside a 2LP exclusive, the collection forms part of the ongoing anniversary series marking more than fifty years of WAR’s catalogue.
CONTINUE READING “This release captures Def Leppard doing what they do best, in the place that shaped them, and reminds us they’re far from finished yet.”  There is something undeniably powerful about watching a band return to the place where it all began, and 'Diamond Star Heroes: Live From Sheffield' captures that spark from Def Leppard that still burns strong after all this time.
CONTINUE READING  Good Health Good Wealth’s new album 'This Time Next Year We'll Be Millionaires' doesn’t sound like a debut. It feels like two people sitting in cosy pub somewhere, getting warm around the fire place as rain pours down outside and taking time to share stories they’ve been carrying around with them. Luckily for you they have finally decided to record those stories so you can take your place around that table and listen in. There are seven tracks in total with each one tied to a day of the week, and each one sounds like it’s being told to a mate rather than a recording studio.
CONTINUE READING  “This release has brought songs like Just the One and P.C. Keen back into the forefront of my mind, and they are still going round and round in my head as I write this.”
Read our full review here.  Leicester’s very own Dan Allison continues his musical journey, making quiet but confident strides with his latest single “Thieves and Saints.” It’s a track that has a rawness about it that is very endearing.
CONTINUE READING  “From The Pyre isn’t a departure but a continuation of The Last Dinner Party’s vision, a multi-layered, unpredictable, and subtly confident album that balances theatrical flair with baroque rock sophistication. It’s full of twists, turns, and moments that reveal something new with every listen.”

CONTINUE READING  Norwegian producer and multi-instrumentalist Rural Tapes (Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen) returns with Oneiric, the fourth studio album from his Rural Tapes project.

 "Little Dreaming is a confident step forward from an artist who’s learning not just how to be heard, but how to say exactly what matters."
Cian Ducrot’s second full-length album, Little Dreaming, opens with a playful touch of personality. A quick medley of audio clips of people attempting to pronounce his name ends with the artist himself cutting in, full of cheek and charm, “IT’S CIAN, BITCH.” It’s a fitting intro to a record that is as self-assured as it is unguarded. CONTINUE READING  Luke Spiller is best known to many as the frontman for British rockers The Struts; however, Luke has been working away on his debut solo album, 'Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes and Wine', and that hard work has most definitely paid off.
CONTINUE READING  The Darkness are back with a brand new album, 'Dreams On Toast'. This is the band's eighth studio album and follows their 2021 cracker of a record 'Motorheart', which claimed the top spot on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart.

2024 has been a busy year for alt-rock duo Saint Sappho (multi-instrumentalist Zoe Young and drummer Tammy Dyson), who have built up a solid back catalogue of music this year, including the single 'Too Far Gone' back in May and more recently with 'End of the World', which has been received well by their ever growing fanbase.
And now Glasgow's finest are back with their latest single, 'M.A.D.' Released on the 30th of September, a date that marked the 1st anniversary of the passing of Tammy's Mum, the track is a heartfelt tribute to her.
'M.A.D.' is lyrically powerful; Saint Sappho asks the questions about what happens to us after this life, something we can all identify with as we struggle to understand grief and come to terms with loss. From a musical perspective, the track reflects emotional upheaval with Saint Sappho's unique sound. 'M.A.D.' is infused with melancholy and is reassuringly nostalgic with a very comforting 90's aesthetic.
Saint Sappho has created a song that tugs on the heartstrings at the same time as putting a supportive arm around you. The track is a fitting tribute and an excellent piece of song-writing. This is definitely one to add to your collection. Find out more about Saint Sappho and keep up with their latest releases and live shows at linktr.ee/saintsappho .  We've given October Drift's new album 'Blame The Young' a spin. Click here to find out what we thought.
