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
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. Hailing from the town of Chippenham, Wiltshire in the […]
EP Review: Declan Welsh – Alright
With the festival season in full flow, T in the Park – although as muddy as a duck puddle – certainly did not disappoint. With Saturday headliner Calvin Harris less than an hour away, a friend and I stumbled upon (literally, after a few cans of Tennent’s) a smaller stage on the way to the […]
EP Review: The Allergens – Ostrich
I’ve been finding it really difficult to write about any other music than this record the last couple of days – every time I sit down to listen to the new Yung Lean or whatever, I always end up with the hook from “Why Do All The Sweet Girls Go And Fall in Love with […]
Jan-Feb: Beats & Bass Society // Exeposé Music takeover
El Presidente DJ Katapila – Trotro (Awesome Tapes) Originally released in 2009 in Accra, Ghana, this album was snapped up by Awesome Tapes from Africa and re released this month – and for good reason. It features traditional Ghanaian influences alongside electronic drum beats to produce a new level of dance music. It is safe […]
EP Review: Henry Adams – Landed
The debut EP by Exeter graduate Henry Adams opens with strength and anticipation. Rich chords and a solid drum beat meet a short repeated piano riff to create a folky appeal on “Settle for the Same Thing”. Adams’ smooth voice is charming as he complains about blue screens, skinny jeans and Tories. The intro and […]
EP Review: The Magic Gang – EP
The Magic Gang EP 8 January 2016; Telharmonium The Magic Gang are a four-piece from Brighton specialising in the kind of Weezer-esque geek rock anthems that were always bound to gain them attention from magazines like NME and DIY. 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 […]
EP Review: Wolf Choir – Zoo of the New
Wolf Choir Zoo of the New EP 6 December 2015 Wolf Choir may not be a name you’re familiar with, but the band’s latest EP release – Zoo of the New – is something to be taken seriously. Strongly influenced by the hazy indie-rock of Phoenix and Real Estate, this is only the second release for […]
Album Review: Lauren Aquilina – Ocean EP
Lauren Aquilina Ocean EP 9 October 2015, Island Ican remember being introduced to Lauren Aquilina by a friend in 2012, being hit at once by her often haunting, always striking voice. Aquilina has remained firmly with me since then. However, the 20 year old Bristolian singer-songwriter has come a long way since that debut EP Fools. Having released two […]
