May 19, 2018 Muff Fitzgerald 0
Faecal Microbial Transplant. There. I’ve said it. I’m not saying that this debut album from Eagle Johnson & Clean Machine is shit. In fact, the opposite is true: it’s excellent! It’s just that when I say […]

I See Hawks in L.A. “Live and Never Learn” (Blue Rose, 2018)

May 18, 2018 Peter Churchill 0
How many bands have suffered the “sounds like the Eagles” curse? Even if being mentioned in the same breath surely means they must be onto something good, attempting to match the songwriting and vocal skills of […]

Trampled by Turtles “Life is Good on the Open Road” (Thirty Tigers, 2018)

May 17, 2018 Jim Finnie 0

The Wave Pictures “Gained/Lost”

March 11, 2026 2
Ambitious, dream-soaked pop that reaches high but rarely quite lands. There’s something immediately intriguing about Gained/Lost. On paper, the ingredients are enticing: the literate jangle of The Smiths, the wide-eyed psych-pop glow of The Flaming Lips, […]
