Album Reviews

Sammy Brue ” I Am Nice” (New West Records 2017)

June 12, 2017 Keith Hargreaves 0

Bloody hell. This is the frankly astonishing debut album from the Portland, Oregon native Brue who has been mentored by Justin Townes Earle and produced by half of The Civil Wars and a quarter of the […]

Album Reviews

Nathan Oliver “Head In The Sand” (Potluck Foundation 2017)

June 9, 2017 Keith Hargreaves 0

This 20 minute EP takes the listener back to a time when fuzzed guitars and shoegazing was not considered the social misdemeanour it is perhaps considered today (despite its reflowering this summer) . Nathan White IS […]

Album Reviews

Steve Mayone “Sideways Rain” (Janglewood Records, 2017)

June 9, 2017 Paul Kerr 0

Brooklyn based Steve Mayone is one of those artists who generally get on with it. It being his daily graft as a musician, working with a host of others and finding time to release a series […]

Behind the Songs: Polite Company “Please Go Wild”

February 17, 2026 0

Alan Gregg is a native Kiwi transplanted to North London with a spotty resumé to his credit. Not intending to be impolite, but prospective employers might be taken aback, curious as to what he has been […]

Interview: Jim White on Trey Blake and the backstory of “Precious Bane”

February 12, 2026 1

If you’ve heard anything about Jim White, you’ve probably heard about the surfing, the modeling, the cab driving, and the unlikely way David Byrne changed his life with a record deal. You’ve heard about the junk […]

Hannah Aldridge “Gold Rush” (Rootsy Music, 2017)

June 21, 2017 0

Video Premiere: Jake Thistle “Better That Way (The Loser)”

August 16, 2024 0

Here’s an excellent live performance of new song ‘Better That Way (The Loser)’ from New Jersey’s Jake Thistle.  Over a rhythmic, tuneful strum, he delivers an excellent vocal performance.  His voice is smooth and melodic and […]

Meg Baird “Furling”

March 2, 2023 0

Travelling beyond the ghosts of previous bands. Meg Baird will, of course, always be associated with Espers – and that’s nothing to be ashamed of or to regret.  They towered over the psych-folk revival of the […]
