Review: Girli – Hot Mess
Pink-worshipping, pop-fanatic feminists who spend all their time either on instagram or raving in each other’s bedrooms have a new divine ruler – her name, is Girli. 18-year-old Milly Toomey is a force of nature. At 13 she was a member of Youth Parliament for Camden council, speaking out against sexual harassment and trying to […]
EP Review: Amber Grace – Legends, Myths and Lies
Comparisons, when used to describe music, can often be a blessing or a curse. Those who are named in the same light as big stars are useful in grabbing the attention of an existing audience, but a prospect can often find themselves shackled to that artist.

As well as this, the lead single from this EP, “Jasmine”, has been featured regularly on […]
The Exe-List | Exeposé Music’s favourite local releases of 2015
Bangers Bird Bird, the third LP from Bangers truly captures the hyperactive determined energy that the band show during their live show on record more so than on their previous albums. Their first release recorded in a ‘proper’ studio, it seems that it has enhanced and enabled the band to reach new heights of punk-rock […]
