An interview with Harbor & Home’s Kaleb Williams

by James Garbett

As the world of digital music continues to grow exponentially bigger, with songs by global megastars now receiving billions of streams, it’s curious to note that, simultaneously, it’s also become far easier to stumble upon delightful hidden treasures. Smaller bands that you never would have encountered, are now only a playlist away. With their gentle […]

Songs with Soul – Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool and the Ends of Worlds

by Elliot Burr

A Moon Shaped Pool starts at the end. All screeching strings and thudding drums, “Burn the Witch” is a burning forest, a cacophonous apocalypse whose conclusion climbs like fire ‘til it suddenly dies. The next song, “Daydreaming”, is its sonic opposite: soft, ethereal piano meanders among gently sinister vocals and strings, a ghost wandering the […]

A week of stunning, sunny weather across Exeter and the UK meant Exeter Phoenix was a glowing place to visit on a Tuesday evening – and not just because of the assembly of sunburns.

Album Review: DMA’s – For Now

by Jamie Moncrieff

DMA’s are an Australian rock band who have been receiving a lot of attention of recent.

Having grafted their way from relative obscurity with the release of Sing the Greys back in 2006, Frightened Rabbit’s latest release Painting of a Panic Attack has seen them rubbing shoulders with some of indie […]

Micro-Genres? Schmicro-Schmenres!

by Robert Westlake

People want to use hyphens when they describe the music they listen to. Rarely will you ask someone what kind of stuff they’re into and simply receive a reply of “rock” or “dance.” A growing complexity naturally comes with more sophisticated nomenclature, after all, and a snappy summary of exactly what the vibe of artist […]

Inherently Anti-Social: An Interview with Drenge

by Rory Marcham

As a budding guitarist and self-confessed rock music lover, the opportunity to interview a band like Drenge was one of the reasons I took to music journalism. Not only are the Derbyshire-born trio (consisting of brothers Eoin and Rory Loveless and recently appointed former Wet Nuns bassist, Rob Graham) one of the most raucous and […]

Album Review: Basement – Promise Everything

by Agnes Emeney

Following their three year hiatus, UK punk rock band Basement return in 2016 with their second full length LP ‘Promise Everything’.
