EP Review: Charlotte Day Wilson – Stone Woman
Sniff all you like about the public taste; the Top 40 doesn’t lie. Last year, Ed Sheeran toddled away with the Christmas No.1 with a stately ballad. Dance DJs have swapped pounding breakbeats for relaxed vibes, and Drake’s newest global smash, currently standing at a colossal 358,000,000 streams, potters along at a sleepwalking 77 bpm. […]
EP Review: Dave – Game Over
The hype surrounding Dave, aka Santan Dave, has been bubbling away under the mainstream surface for some time now.

As well as this, the lead single from this EP, “Jasmine”, has been featured regularly on […]
Album Review: Black Thistles – Who Cares EP
Black Thistles Who Cares EP 17 April 2015, unsigned Exmouth’s answer to the unflinching tides of indie rock entering the mainstream have been making ripples in the pond for a while now, though defiantly refer to The Simpsons as far their description goes: this is a rock band, not a bleedin’ splish-splash show. April’s Who Cares […]
