Rating - 4/5 Graywave is a name you that would come to mind when considering who has been confidently producing some fundamental and excellent displays of Shoegaze in recent times. However, Jess Webberly has made her return and has crafted a dream-pop classic that should be a listening priority this summer and forever. Escapism is... Continue Reading →

Diamond Eyes is by far a gateway album for me and is a huge reason as to why I got into Deftones. I think I was about 13 when I'd first listened to them and that album in particular. We'd bought it on CD and always used to play it in full, no skips (it's... Continue Reading →

The hazy soundscape lends itself nicely to the lyricism which... Continue Reading →

Rating - 4/5 Birmingham singer-songwriter “Graywave” is fulfilling the vacancy of the emo inspired shoegaze sound that has fallen flat in recent times. Two-track EP “Growing garden” combines elements of the highest points of new wave shoegaze while making it her own at the same time. These two tracks are a great installment into what...

Rating - 3/5 “New Summer, new lover, got my new shades on” Osca seem to be bringing what the whole country is craving right now. They’ve captured that feeling that comes when Spring shows it's first glimmering shoots of hope and the Summer that promises to follow. Yes the song mentions being in July and... Continue Reading →
Rating - 3/5 After a break of almost a decade, we have another solo album from the Prince of Darkness himself. Ironically called “Ordinary Man” from the one and only Ozzy Osbourne, who couldn’t have been called such at any point in his life. This is a man who would walk the streets barefoot, wearing...
