No doubt I was not alone in looking forward to see GosT when electronic artist James Lollar was unceremoniously sent scuttling back home by Covid, future dates scuppered. It’s a familiar story and it only just seems that things are… Continue Reading →

Suncraft – Flat Earth Rider (All Good Clean Records)

Stoner-inspired rock n roll is what’s suggested from Norway’s Suncraft, who have been doing their thing since 2017. Originality is never guaranteed but my experience of Norwegian bands of this kind usually means something interesting so although I didn’t know… Continue Reading →

Chaos over Cosmos – The Silver Lining Between the Stars (S/R)
