King’s Daughters Home For Incurables – Karla Kane (reviewed by Dave Franklin)
I don’t know why I should be surprised that someone from the sun strewn West Coast of America should deliver one of the most authentic sounding folk records of the year so far. It isn’t like music belongs to any … Continue reading

Music People – Emilio Crixell & Border Soul (reviewed by Dave Franklin)
Borders are always interesting places for fusion and creativity. Cultures clash; community’s blend and wonderful new hybrids arise from the melting pot to take on a life of their own. South Texas is just such a place and if that … Continue reading

Let’s Be Friends – Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (reviewed by Dave Franklin)

New Music of the Day – CCV: Not My President – Squished Penises
We’ll just skip over the bands backstory for now, tales of alien abduction and cryogenic freezing all make for fun punk mythologies but let’s get down to the task at hand. What punk has always been the perfect vehicle for … Continue reading
New Music of the Day – CCIV : Hojas Amarillas – Stephania Sanquiz ft. Noemi Smorra
If the original version of Golden Leaves was a perfect blend of driven pop, infectious hooks and vocal eloquence, Stephania Sanquiz’s revisit takes the energy levels even higher and pushes a harder edge. Whilst staying faithful to the original and … Continue reading

Life on Mars – The Black Astronaut (reviewed by Dave Franklin)
Well, that’s a new one on me. Hip-hop has always had something to say, at its most basic it is boastful and self-aggrandising, at it’s most clever it is observational and socially aware, but listening to Land of The Lost … Continue reading
