A nicely disparate collection of songs that flit around the rock genre with some dexterity.

Mighty vocals blending depth and relatability guide us into a rock warmth and conceptual vulnerability for this powerful, engaging new album from fellow Mancunian Rob Murphy.
The single has a White Stripes-esque pace & stomp to it, with short verses and a brilliantly immersive, addictive sudden energy & fullness for the chorus.
Storytellers and stunning musicians all at once, The Grassland Sinners blend the comforting sound of yesteryear with creative structuring that proves unpredictable and brilliantly entertaining all at once.
Soulful country warmth provides a deeply intimate and colourful hit of escapism as Miles Newsom takes things down a personal and musically immersive pathway.
David manages to keep things eclectic enough to hold interest, yet still consistently in tune with his own recognisable style as a musician and performer. An easy listen, and a genuinely likable new take on some age-old loyalties and odes.
It’s an all too familiar topic – the struggle to be, to accept life & the self, the past – depression, anxiety, shame, loneliness. Miss Misery screams out on their behalf.
The final third delves into passionate uncertainty, the voice peaking, the guitar wandering into distortion & bends, the bass notes storming through with far more urgency.
Chris Ising brings the weight and soul required to kick off the year with this gritty yet melodic new blues-rock hit Baptized.
Driving with the sort of festival-ready, organic Americana & blues-rock core that quickly invites interest, Fallen Lord goes on to balance quality riffs with equal parts distortion & clarity.
Infectious blues rock and roll pours through for this superb new single from alternatives Psychocide.
Introducing a songwriter with a clearly extensive background on the scene, Long Distance Line marks a huge step forwards as a solo artist, and showcases a fine level of musical skill and song-writing alike.
