As the name alludes, the music of Sienna Chorus is rich and vibrant interlaced with majestic choral harmonies. Their songs are written as if they were screenplays of classic black and white movies, imbued with understated introspection and romantic gesture, stylishly delivered in epic cinematic form.
Interviews
MY LIFE IN MUSIC: Fuoco
Noise has never sounded as good as it does when Fuoco are about. With conviction the duo torment the eardrums with their insatiable, lusty, grunge rock. On last year’s ‘Perverted Gaze’ EP, the duo delivered a melody drenched, squealing succubus of intent: primal and devilishly good. Trust me, just one listen and you won’t be able to […]
In Conversation with…BROKEN HANDS
Confinement and structure dictate most of our lives, so we look to other methods of expression to free ourselves from these mundanities. Broken Hands have found the answer and have set out to take us higher with their visionary sound. A fascination with flight and travel brought forth new inspiration for the band, which soon […]
In Conversation with…INHEAVEN
A noise-clad rebellion has set in, spreading outwards from the streets of South East London where INHEVAEN reside. The release of debut single ‘Regeneration’ shook the interweb into a frenzy, asking who are this band? Their wild punk spirit and insatiable lust for creating convulsive, hands-in-the-air anthems is sure to keep the chatter going for years to […]
In Conversation with…MAN MADE
In the past year, Man Made have supported the likes of Superfood and Honeyblood, performed at Reading & Leeds festival, headed out on an 18-date UK headline tour, played the NME ‘New Breed’ tour and won the favour of many supporters in doing so. Continuing their sonic onslaught of 90s guitars and viscously catchy ear-worm […]
In Conversation with…SLOES
London based Sloes are quite possibly the best thing that 2015 has brought us, fusing contemporary indie music with classical elements, the band have created a captivating and unique sound that is distinctively their own. Having just released their debut EP ‘Chasing Tails’ the band are flourishing with potential and have set our hearts a-flutter with anticipation for what’s next.
In Conversation with…HOLLOW STATES
Within Hollow States lies a deep complexity. A mind tasked with exploring the human condition and the world around them. We are introduced to the stark reality that plagues the thoughts and feelings of Hollow States, tempered with mild mannered alt-pop melodies that both haunt and sway with emotional intensity. Hollow States provide an alternative way […]
In Conversation with…THE SLOW READERS CLUB
Since their inception The Slow Readers Club have continued to stun every Manchester crowd and countless others up and down the country with their intensely melodic indie electronica. The band recently released their brilliant sophomore record ‘Cavalcade’ (you can read our review here) and are awaiting a summer packed with festivals.
In Conversation with…THE DOCTORATES
The Doctorates make music that lives and breathes with summer vibes. Their garage surf rock and indie pop spirit brings together both a sweetness and a roughness, making for an undeniable combination that will not rest till your up on your feet and dancing your troubles away. It’s like if Circa Waves and Palma Violets […]
In Conversation with…TENTERHOOK
What makes Tenterhook a particularly pleasing musical find is not just his flawless falsetto, enchanting delivery and gentle building melodies but his simple love of sharing real stories that come from the heart. His new single ‘What I Like’ is the perfect example of this, tender with immaculate poise and awash in gorgeous melody, it makes […]
In Conversation with…BIPOLAR SUNSHINE
The musical vision of Manchester-born Adio Marchant (aka. Bipolar Sunshine) has spawned a sound that is not just genre-defying but uniting, with the euphoric highs of pop, emotional resonance of hip hop and uplifting spirit of a gospel choir. His voice is soulful, his lyrics are vibrant and his candour breathes meaning into every verse. […]
In Conversation with…PALACE
In the last six months, Palace have ridden a wave of overwhelming critical acclaim and fan support. Last October, they released their debut EP ‘Lost in the Night’, which garnered the attention of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music and XFM. Following on from the huge success of their debut EP, Palace have unveiled their magnificent […]
In Conversation with…AMY YON
Amy has a voice filled with enchantment and wisdom. Brought up as witness to the nightlife of her mum’s pubs and bars, Amy’s songs are riddled with anecdotes and wry humour based on the colourful characters she has met on her way. Her sound is reminiscent of a young Stevie Nicks with the glottal growl […]
My Life in Music: NATIVE PEOPLE
As we’re nearing warmer climes, it seems like the perfect time to get out your sunnies and listen to the coastal indie dance sounds of Folkestone band, Native People. It’s been quite a whirlwind year for the foursome. After releasing their début single ‘Calm Forever’ last summer and playing a slurry of live shows, they’ve garnered […]
In Conversation with…TED ZED
The space-age sounds of Ted Zed will send you into a hallucinogenic daze fuelled by buzzing electronics and entrancing psychedelia. Zed’s retro-inspired alternative rock is heralded by many as visionary, and with tracks like ‘Believe’ and ‘I’m Gold’ no one is going to contest that.
In Conversation with…OCTOBER DRIFT (Part 2)
From the roaring thunder of distortion and heart-piercing fuzz of début single ‘Whoever’, October Drift unforgettably barraged into our playlists and ran kicking and screaming into our hearts. The foursome have since completed their first UK tour and continue to race forward with heavy hearts and soaring atmospherics into what seems like a very bright future.

In Conversation with…WALK THE MOON
WALK THE MOON threw us a resounding proverbial hug with their new album ‘Talking is Hard’ prompting their audience to crank up the music when life gets tough. And well, just to shut up and dance. As the band head into an even busier period of touring after achieving their first US no.1 single with ‘Shut […]
In Conversation with…LiVVO
You may be more familiar with this artist by his birth name David Liversidge. He’s an artist that we’ve championed here since the first time we laid our ears on his stunning set of pipes. Now he’s back under the alias, LiVVO, with a bigger, much bolder sound and he’s ready to show the world […]
In Conversation with…FYFE
