A Will Away ‘Here Again’

‘Here Again’ is the first release by A Will Away since late 2015, and it’s worth the wait in almost every way. Having honed their sound on previous EPs – think a more youthful Jimmy Eat World – ‘Here Again’ marks the first step into album territory.

Brother Firetribe – ‘Sunbound’

Classic rock, which for many fans served as the soundtrack to the double-denim wearing, big-haired ’80s, has become a much maligned and ignored genre since its heyday. The bands who led the charge thirty-odd years ago are either long gone or living off their back catalogues and we now

Ember Falls – ‘Welcome To Ember Falls’

‘Welcome To Ember Falls’ is an intriguing and ominous title, one that hints at a strong story or concept within. According to the band, Ember Falls is “a fictitious town in an imaginary multiverse somewhere in the distant future,” yet it never seems that much

Light The Way – ‘Grace’

Without the luxury of a well-honed sound to fall back on or a sizeable fanbase eagerly awaiting every new song, it can be hard for any band to create interest ahead of launching their debut EP. Light The Way have signed to Indie Vision Music for the

Sparrow Sleeps – ‘Sparrow And Friends Start A Band’

Sparrow Sleeps made a name for themselves with their unique approach to cover songs, turning tracks such as ‘I’m Not Okay (I Promise)’ and ‘What’s My Age Again?’ into soothing baby-appropriate instrumental lullabies. ‘Sparrow And Friends Start A Band’ marks the return of the kings of lullaby-core,

Tiny Kingdoms – ‘I’ll Wait Around’

Some bands keep you waiting years for new music, but thankfully Tiny Kingdoms isn’t one of them. ‘I’ll Wait Around’ is their second EP of 2016 and it’s one that will further enhance their growing reputation. Previous release ‘Stay’ found Tiny Kingdoms in typically inventive form as

Fenix TX – ‘CRE.EP’

‘CRE.EP’ is the first release by Fenix TX since 2001, but it almost never happened. Originally part of the seemingly unstoppable Drive-Thru Records during their heyday, plans to reform and record new material were dramatically put on hold after frontman Will Salazar suffered a stroke that saw
