They’ve only been together for two years but these are talented boys and … Continue reading Call Me In the Afternoon

Originally studying Law she gave that up to follow what she loved in the hope it would bring joy to others. … Continue reading I Wanna Go
I’m so excited for T in the Park next weekend. I somehow have never been and even this year only going on the Sunday so not getting the full experience. I thought I share a band which are part of the line up this year. The Heavy are a group of friends from Bath. Lead singer Kelvin Swaby and Dan Taylor, lead guitar, met while … Continue reading Can’t Play Dead
On Friday night we went for what was Roz’s first gig at King Tuts. King Tuts Wah Wah Hut to give it it’s full title, is a renowned music venue in Glasgow. It is a tiny basement club but has hosted some of the biggest names in music. I’ve never had a bad night in there or seen a band that aren’t pretty decent. We … Continue reading You Jump, I Jump
Ady Suleiman, a 20year old singer songwriter hails from Nottingham but is currently based in Liverpool finishing a music degree. His music is a mix of pop reggae and soul, producing catchy thought provoking songs. He’s recently played a few tracks in MaidaVale for MistaJam on 1Xtra and was Scott Mills record of the week last week, so I’d expect to hear a lot more … Continue reading Why You Running Away

My new favourite summer track. It’s cool, clever and reeks of summer. Portugal. The Man are an American indie rock band. They’ve been together since 2005 and since then haven’t really stopped, either recording or touring. They’ve released an album/EP pretty much every year and have played at every festival running it seems. Their latest album has been produced by Danger Mouse, the producer with … Continue reading Modern Jesus
A week ago I went off to see Lana Del Rey in the SECC in Glasgow. Her support act was Kassidy, and I must say I was almost more excited to see them. Kassidy are a Scottish band formed in Glasgow a few years ago. I love these guys. I’ve seen them a few times around Glasgow and even managed to get into the after … Continue reading Gambler does the Gambler
Bon Iver is one of my favourite singer/songwriters. If you have never heard of him, shame on you. If you’ve only heard the Birdie version of ‘Skinny Love’, I urge you to get on you tube or spotify and listen to the original. Following the breakup band of DeYarmond Edison, Justin Vernon holed himself up in a remote cabin in Wisconsin. After three months he … Continue reading The Wolves Act I & II
Crybaby is Danny Coughlan, Bristol born guitarist. I heard this song on Made In Chelsea, yes it’s my guilty pleasure I’ll admit it. The few bars of the chorus I heard really caught my attention so I instantly stuck the lyrics into google to find the track. I downloaded the self-titled album as it was less than a tenner on ITunes. If I didn’t know … Continue reading We’re supposed to be in Love
