There's always something about Nebraska that makes me think of sleepy one-diner towns where everybody knows each other's business and it's always cold yet heartwarming. I dunno, maybe it's Springsteen's album, or countless TV shows on Netflix and the like, but it always feels like it's somewhere special, somewhere I'd belong. Salt Creek are a … Continue reading Review: Salt Creek – Where Strangers Go

Review: Melvins – A Walk With Love and Death
For any serious music fan there are few things more controversial than the dreaded double album. For every one that’s full of half baked ideas and sublime moments (The Beatles, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness), there's another that sits quite confidently in the artists catalogue (Physical Graffiti).

Surfacing To Breath, their second album, is well executed … Continue reading Review: Clustersun – Surfacing To Breath
Review: LOOM – LOOM
In this age where all the great bands are playing to a handful of converts in tiny venues across the nation whilst the bad ones are somehow selling bucketloads and playing arenas and festivals, it's almost always a thrill when a band of the former category release their debut album. You really want to root … Continue reading Review: LOOM – LOOM
