"Idontjustwanabeyourfriend" - a review
I don’t just wana be your friend: Rae Charlea Rae Charlea is a wonderful Scottish-Australian artist who is carving her way into the music industry flawlessly, she is certainly a name to rival some bigger bands in the indie scene currently. Her music dabbles between grungy, indie-rock and alternative – while listening to her newest track “Idontjustwanabeyourfriend” I couldn’t help but think of the Arctic Monkeys, specifically songs like “”I just wanna be yours”. Charlea has al

in the dim light - Nat Dempsy
Nat Dempsy’s new single “In the dim light” is a mellow indie folk track that takes you on a journey exploring the intricate feelings of missing younger days. From the first listen I was shocked to fine out how much I loved it – I don’t usually dabble in the genre Nat finds himself in, yet I was pleasantly surprised. From the jump the textured guitar in the opening is something I noticed almost immediately, it hooked me to the song fast. Dempsy’s vocals flow beautifully with a

Kiting - Entropy
“Kiting” is indie-rock band Entropy’s newest single, following their previous releases “boys like to race” and “Kudos to you”. This single only reinforces my previous compliments to the band, that Entropy is an amazing up and coming group that you can always guarantee will make a great tune. It starts off heavy, throwing you into the layered vocals straight away and grabbing the listeners attention. I loved the initial sound, immediately captivated in the sound. the drums so

Holly Head - A single review
Holly Head, Manchester’s ‘politico-punk’ group release their new single ‘No country Is An Island’, their first of 2026. I have seen Holly Head before, at the Exchange in Bristol opening for Welly. Their fun and fuzzy rock resonated with the room, and their set was one of my favourite openers I saw in the year. No Country Is An Island is a powerful, punchy indie tune that you might expect from the likes of Sam Fender, but with a slightly heavier weight. The track holds a flam

Vlive, Vlaugh, Vundabar
Vundabar will always be my go-to band to recommend to friends and family looking to expand their music tastes, I can never quite explain the genre they slot in to other than “interesting”. They grab every genre they can, throw it all together and produce their own style, is the best way I can describe them. Every album is unique in its own way, from gawk’s fever-dream like tracks to the melancholy yet upbeat songs in their newest album, “surgery and pleasure”. As a music sn

Barbara album Review
Barbara is the kind of band you listen to when you were born in the wrong era. Bringing back those electric 70s vibes, Barbara, a two-piece band composed of Brighton brothers Henry and John who perfectly encapsulate where good music originated from. Fans of the classic 70s artists such as ABBA, Fleetwood Mac and Queen are 100% guaranteed to LOVE the wonderful discography from Barbara. Their debut album “Barbara” released on the 5th of September 2025 is an amazing amalgamation

Medium Machine Review
Medium Medicine is the newest release from Sports Team, a fun and energetic single that was previously exiled from album “Boys These Days”. On the first listen of this tune I knew it would become a favourite of mine and many other fans. It was so light and classic sports team I couldn’t help but smile for the entire playthrough. I’m not trying to be corny this is true I got really really weird looks on the bus because of it. The lyrics are the first thing I noticed, a twi
