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.
Blues Rock
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.

Ryan Voss and the band set the scene with ease, laying bare a heavy outlaw vibe with the raw sound of classic rock, and a story-line that openly showcases its roots in country.
An interesting, introspective and often scornful album, but one that seeks to make sense out of interactions and difficulties within various relationships.
Gritty blues-rock bliss & Americana warmth both meet with thoughtful, captivating story-telling throughout this conceptually engaging new album from songwriter & artist Ruborg.
