I walked into The Sunflower Lounge, an indie venue full of students in the heart of Birmingham, notorious for its grungy dive bar feel. I found my friends, and after shouting my order over the din to the bartender, I managed to squish in next to my somewhat intoxicated companions. Spirits were high, and everybody […]
“We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick But the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray” I don’t listen to a lot of 60s music, I […]
After spending a year and a half in Argentina I discovered many small bands from South America. Those types of bands I would never have discovered without living there and meeting people who create and share what they love. Agua Oscura (meaning “dark water” in English) is one of those bands. The first album […]
Even though I’m not the kind of person who’s always on the lookout for new music and new artists, there are times where I accidentally stumble across new hidden gems that eventually grow on me and I feel proud of myself. Something like this happened when I searched for “ocean blues” and the artist “Oceanator” […]

I am first and foremost an indie music fan, and I think about 90% of my listening is held within the constraints of the indie genre. As a teenager, I started to look slightly outwards and began listening to John Kennedy’s X-Posure Radio X show. At 10 PM one night, he played a track that […]
The eighties were a decade of excess, an era where extreme hair, attitude, and greed created a world where extroverts thrived. Bands had to generate drama to become noticed, and it was no secret that Motley Crues notorious off-stage antics were just as famous as their metal songs for propelling ‘sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ […]

It was a warm summer’s evening when I queued outside of Scala in London for my first proper gig. I was sixteen and my brother had managed to secure tickets from a stranger on Facebook to see my favourite band at the time: Spector. When Spector eased into ‘Bad Boyfriend’, an overwhelming sense of belonging […]
My shoes stuck to the dancefloor of the large concert room as I worked my way around the tables, collecting empty beer glasses from noisy patrons. It was rock and roll night and I was halfway through my shift as a barmaid in a busy social club. The cover band were currently hammering out The […]
While I believe music and comedy don’t really mesh–many times the result is just tacky or moronic, there are some folks that prove music with a comedy twist can make a really nice and quality duo. When I accidentally came across British musician and comedian Rainer Hersch (thanks to my YT recommendations) and listened […]

When it comes to my taste in rock music, I’m all about vinyl classics or totally spicy and alternative tracks–nothing in-between and nothing too hard or pretentious. And Alice Cooper certainly never disappoints (at least thus far) when it gets to offering rock fans a mixture of classic 70s and 80s rock with a twist. […]
I recently had a guitar repaired* and when I got it back the first thing I did was blast out the opening to this song. I don’t know why but at some point it became my go to riff. I guess I got comfortable playing it and just settle into easily, but I haven’t picked […]
From the very first second of The Gaslight Anthem’s ‘The ‘59 Sound’, it’s clear that they’re harking back to a bygone era. As soon as you press play, the familiar sound of a needle hitting a vinyl record plays for a few seconds before the opening track – ‘Great Expectations’ – springs into action. The […]

So much to listen to, so little time. I’m sure it’s the same for most people – I have a queue of new music I want to listen to, along with wanting to rediscover and enjoy old favourites and then add to that an ever increasing queue of podcasts to take up my listening time. […]
