LIVE REVIEW: Moonoversun + Cosydrive + Ellie Bleach at The Montague Arms
Lying south of the River Thames, Lewisham really embodies the spirit of London’s underground cultural movements. In dodgy looking council estates and niche neat bars, London’s disaffected youth shine through the nonsense of the city’s money-minded centre, just a stone’s throw away. The quirky Montague Arms, with its pseudo classic aesthetic, is where we call […]
LIVE REVIEW: YONAKA + Hey Charlie + VALERAS at Sebright Arms
Some might say recently music has changed Hackney forever, others claim that Hackney has changed music forever. Whatever you believe, it’s hard to deny that the once overlooked London borough is now one of the hubs for all things music in London. Sebright Arms is just one of many fine examples of good venues, hosting […]
LIVE REVIEW: Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness + Mirror Fury at Bush Hall
To many in the know, Shepherd’s Bush is one of the London’s most underrated gem’s in terms of nightlife. There’s a lot more to do than just losing oneself in the vast open retail therapies known as the Westfield conglomerate. For a town so steeped in culture that dates to the birthing of some of […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Pace – ‘Through Your Fingers’
London Alt-Pop three piece, Pace are dreaming of sunny horizons on their latest offering, ‘Through Your Fingers’. A cheery, bouncy affirmation of young blossoming love set to a backdrop of luscious, warm brass parts, stop/start guitars and a laid back swung drum beat.
LIVE REVIEW: Alexandra Savior + Flyte at Oslo
Known for its quirky side streets, vintage shops and wide range cultural influences. Hackney really is a wonderland, one of the most optimistic areas of London, in nature and personality. Beside the train tracks we find Oslo, a hip and happening bar and venue that is cool enough to house both dive bar dropouts as […]
LISTEN: Little Grim – ‘Hoodie’
Plastered with laid back jazzy beats, soothing Prince-esque vocals and a chorus hook so defined and reinforced, it will spiral round your head for days. Little Grim’s latest offering is a truly exotic delight.
TRACK OF THE DAY: Honey Lung – ‘Sophomore’
Following the release of last year’s monster of an EP, ‘Kind Of Alone’, Honey Lung are back in fine form with their third single ‘Sophomore’. After a slew of sold out shows across London, it’s nice to see that the band are gearing up to launch more material out into the stratosphere.
LIVE REVIEW: Gregory Alan Isakov + Leif Vollebekk at Islington Assembly Hall
Islington is emblematic of what life is like inside the gentrified bubble of London. Despite invoking yuppie dreams of flashy restaurants, cocktail bars and boutique shopping, Islington is still a hub for music that is vibrant and embracing of all different styles and creeds. Since re-opening in 2010, Islington Assembly Hall has played host to […]
LIVE REVIEW: Glass Caves + Deco + Little Grim at Camden Assembly

After what has been a fantastic year for FEWS, a new moon approaches on the horizon to open their hotly anticipated 2017 European tour.

LIVE REVIEW: Lady Pocket + Curtsy & Cry + Tom Bell and The Alien Brothers at Notting Hill Arts Club
Situated in a vibrant part of West London, Notting Hill Arts Club is a haven for live music. Far from the gritty, edgy venues of Shoreditch, the Arts Club resides under a HSBC branch. Fitting yet disconcerting, Notting Hill Arts Club has a more up market vibe than most grassroots venues. Catering to the clubbers […]
LIVE REVIEW: Honey Lung, Little Green Men, Furs & Masks + Inevitable Daydream at Camden Assembly
Formerly the Barfly, the Camden Assembly is at the forefront of London’s music scene and it’s easy to see why. As London became rapidly gentrified, the ruins of the skaggy indie rock of the noughties held on to its last breath in the Barfly before shutting up shop. The Camden Assembly however, caters for all […]
LIVE REVIEW: Wilsen & John Joseph Brill at St Pancras Old Church
As a child, I grew up with the church. Every Sunday morning, we would venture out as a family for the hour or so to partake in prayer. Stepping back into a church for the first time in some years had quite a strange effect on me, especially due to the circumstances. Illuminated with candles […]

LIVE REVIEW: Toothless at The Pickle Factory, London
The Pickle Factory lies somewhere down a backstreet on the border of Hackney. Tucked away from the chaos of London town, it feels all too quiet on this brisk Monday night. With a capacity of only a couple of hundred people, tonight’s venue seems a world apart from the stages Ed Nash will be used […]
TRACK OF THE DAY: Toothless – ‘Sisyphus’
Toothless (a.k.a Bombay Bicycle Club’s Ed Nash) is back with the expansive new single ‘Sisyphus’. Nash is set to release his highly anticipated debut album, ’The Pace of the Passing’.
