Opting to remain ambiguous and to only exist outside of the interweb, newly-formed foursome, October Drift have managed to create a campaign most would laugh at. The band are still to pitch up on social media, the only current ways to reach them being through their website and a soundcloud page. But who cares, it’s […]
Introducing
INTRODUCING: Paper Hawk
We were devastated to hear last year that The Civil Wars decided to call it a day, now even though the hurt is still there, I’d say Brighton’s Paper Hawk pretty much help to ease that pain. If the duo were to pass the baton onto any band, I’d say Paper Hawk are the perfect candidates. […]

Leeds/Hull indie pop outfit The Hubbards may be a band that I’ve just come across, but immediately after listening to a couple of their tracks, I have to say, I’m impressed.
INTRODUCING: Winter 1982
When a songwriter can fit the term ‘pathetic fallacy’ into a song and give it meaning, then I think you’re onto a winner.
