Ambient/noise stuff is an odd thing to review as you’re very much asking the question “what is this for….?” Is this mood music, a story, a film without images, a background soundscape? What exactly is it? Not sure I’m going… Continue Reading →
Can you imagine being able to spew up liquid fire? That would be fantastic really although you would have to be so careful if you were going out on the piss. It’s one thing getting barred from the pub but… Continue Reading →
Spring is very much in the air on this split album. We are greeted by an idyllic Swiss looking field in bloom on the cover which is in the form of an interesting green tracing paper design and inside there… Continue Reading →
Nearly a year has passed since that fateful day when the Baroness tour bus plunged 30ft off a viaduct in Bath, England. Nine folks were transported to hospital that day, all with severe injuries. Some suffered more than others and… Continue Reading →

Norwegian’s Saligia return after their successful full length ‘Sic Transit Gloria Mundi’ in 2011 with a new taster of new material in the form of a 4 track EP. Much as their debut album left us with, this is a… Continue Reading →
I picked up this EP after watching Colours to Shame perform at TechFest. That was my first exposure to this band from Glasgow. I realised that there was something interesting going on. Experimental and progressive in style, and with jazz,… Continue Reading →
