Tonight sees Ed Nash (ex-Bombay Bicycle Club)’s band play the Leeds Brudenell Social Club on the fifth night of their debut tour. The album ‘The Pace of the Passing’ is a wonderful collection of songs that Nash has spent the last year pouring every ounce of his being into, so it will be nice to […]

Hailing from Australia’s Gold Coast, Yes Sir Noceur’s sound is a smorgasbord of influences that come together to create something unique yet nicely familiar. Their latest single ‘Turn To Fire’ sticks to this no-blueprint blueprint very nicely.
