What made the night perfect – apart from spotless organisation courtesy of Group Therapy – was the fact that all of the bands gave the audience something to look forward to in the new year – from fully announced Calla’s ‘Navigator’ due in Spring via Rumour Cubes working titles and album recording well under way, to Flies Are Spies’ yet unnamed tracks. – by Magda Wrzeszcz

We all stood there, completely overcome, until it all stopped. And yes, I believe I can say with no exaggeration, after this epic performance no gig will ever feel the same.

Nordic Giants are currently on a UK tour until the 20th October and if they happen to play anywhere near you – give yourself a gift of a Nordic Giants performance. You might think you’ve heard it all, but you haven’t seen anything yet. By Magda Wrzeszcz

Shakespeare once asked ‘what’s in a name?’ and we all remember that in his conclusion that name was irrelevant. The Sun Aesthetic dares to challenge this belief. The moment I heard the opening notes of ‘Decadence’ I had images from Danny Boyle’s ‘Sunsh …

It took me a while (a good while) to get my head around this album. You know how they always say that music bloggers (not that I see myself as one) usually just rip off the press pack while reviewing the album? Well, I read the press pack months after …

If there was a release I was genuinely really looking forward to sometime this year, ‘The Very Last Of The Saints’ would be it. I started to follow Gavin Miller and Thomas Ragsdale when they were still performing as Worriedaboutsatan and it was fascina …

Just as ‘Calaveras’ release from last year was my early Christmas present, so happy I was to hear I get to get another one from the same band this year! ‘Christmas 86’ (nomen omen) is a 5 track EP from Upcdownc, released not even half a year after thei …

With this review I had a double eye-opening experience. I remember how a good while ago someone recommended to me Three Trapped Tigers based on my taste etc etc. Ok, let’s give them a go! And so I did. I found three EPs, enigmatically called EP, EP2 an …

If I had to pick only one word to describe this self-released debut album, it would have to be ‘captivating’. When I signed up for reviewing it, I was warned it’s going to be ‘a bit weird and tricky’. It turned out to be my own musical Rescue Remedy, s …

There are rare moments in life when you receive an assignment that turns out to be as good as a Christmas present – that was precisely my case with the new Upcdownc album. My story with them is typical and proves that ‘last.fm’ as my religion choice on …

I had and still have a problem with this album. What I’m about to say will probably make me sound like a complete lunatic, yet I’ll give it a shot. The trio’s debut album is… too pretty. And don’t get me wrong, pretty is good! ‘Sans Souci’ ticks all …

Reviewing the second long play album from this duo from Leeds, in my case, began with heavy research filed under ‘Google is my best friend’ simply to be able to understand what on Earth this is all about? Not only the do band’s name and album title sou …

The first thing to know about Juffage is that is a solo act and the one and only person behind it is Jeff T. Smith. This fact alone puts any listener’s perception of his music into a slightly different perspective, and most definitely leaves them posit …

Maybeshewill’s third album was awaited with great anticipation. After coveted success of their first two long plays the game was not only to live up to them but also to come up with something that will blow the public away for a third time in a row. Fi …
