Review: The Haggis Horns – Stand Up For Love

Review: The Teskey Brothers – Live at the Forum
Thankfully I finally took notice of my “Themed Tunes” co-host Steve constantly going on about how wonderful The Teskey Brothers are. After recording a show a few weeks back I went on YouTube and watched them play the song “Hold Me” (see below) from the ‘Live at the Forum’ album. Now those of you who […]

Review: Dollhouse
Horror games don’t come around very often, so I approached Dollhouse with a sense of excited anticipation.

Review: Izo FitzRoy – Blind Faith (Remixes)

Once listened to, you want to hear it live, but sadly at time of writing it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon.To keep the fire burning, Jalapeno Records have recruited […]
Review: Flevans – Accumulate
Accumulate doesn’t hang around. The opener “Moving On” comes on sounding like a beefed up Spencer Davis track that drags the listener to their feet where they will stay for the best part of 42minutes 21 seconds.Vocal duties are shared out with Laura Vane handling the funky stuff on tracks like “Hold Your Hands Up” […]
