Rammstein: Adieu
In a time of âfuck around and find outâ, Rammstein neither fucks around nor has a need to find out. When an artist or band has been in the music world for 28 years like Rammstein has, one just does what they want to do. Rammstein does epic. They are the masters of knowing how to do epic. Be it their live shows which are … Continue reading Rammstein: Adieu
IOTA: Tyrants
With the strum of the guitar on the song âDemonsâ, I feel like I am about to witness a gun fight between the good and the bad, perhaps like what went down at the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. That feeling is very apropos considering the title for the debut EP from Bristol based, IOTA, is called Tyrants. Neither the name of the EP nor … Continue reading IOTA: Tyrants

Penny Rich: Last Meal
As âLast Mealâ opens, I am instantly hooked by the guitar riff. I know the moment the full band starts, this song is going to rock my socks off. Iâll be honest, I judge “punk music” based off three things: The new single from Cardiffâs three-piece, Penny Rich ticks off all three boxes. The trio spent 2020 writing and recording their debut album, working with … Continue reading Penny Rich: Last Meal
Joshua Burnside: Late Afternoon In The Meadow (1887)
Late Afternoon in the Meadow (1887) has one foot grounded in the past while one foot moves forward. The EP is a wonderful snapshot in time and space. Continue reading Joshua Burnside: Late Afternoon In The Meadow (1887)
Review: Bowie’s Piano Man – Live at The Sun Rose by Mike Garson with Mason Alexander Park
I have 1 complaint about Mike Garson and Mason Alexander Park‘s EP, Bowie’s Piano Man – Live at The Sun Rose – it is only 3 songs. đ For those that do not know who pianist Mike Garson is, he has only played piano with the likes of David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Duran Duran, and The Smashing Pumpkins to name a few and if … Continue reading Review: Bowie’s Piano Man – Live at The Sun Rose by Mike Garson with Mason Alexander Park
Discover: Chasing Kites
What started as a solo project for vocalist and guitarist, Matt Donnelly, Chasing Kites would become a full fledged band through the power of ‘band members wanted’ ads and social media. By June 2022, they would finalise their line up and by July with James Hunt on drums, Liam Hope on guitar, and Nathan Price on bass, Chasing Kites were chosen as BBC Bristolâs âBig … Continue reading Discover: Chasing Kites
Listen: Lupines by Krooked Tongue
Over a haunting strum of bass and an echo of a guitar, vocalist and bassist, Oli Rainsford, kicks off the latest Krooked Tongue single, “Lupines”, with a vibrato in the likes of Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and the confident vocal swagger of the late Jim Morrison (Doors). The opening of “Lupines” is haunting, quiet, and subdued but as guitarist, Dan Smith, and drummer, Harry Pritchard, … Continue reading Listen: Lupines by Krooked Tongue
Listen: Ballet Box by IOTA
What I absolutely dig about “Ballet Box” is the 90’s and early naughts rock groove. Continue reading Listen: Ballet Box by IOTA
