Juanita Stein “America” (Nude Records, 2017)

August 23, 2017 David Cowling 0
This record reminds me a lot of the Coco Hames record from early in the year; a solo debut that explores several styles is always a pleasant listen but lacks an essential sense of identity to […]

Hard Working Americans “We’re All In This Together” (Melvin Records/Thirty Tigers 2017)

August 23, 2017 Rick Bayles 0

August 22, 2017 David Stevenson 0

William The Conqueror, a three-piece band from Cornwall, is the creation of former folkie, Ruarri Joseph. For those of us fortunate enough to have caught Mr Joseph in his former guise playing small, intimate venues, often […]
