Live Review: The Delines + Freddy Trujillo, Wedgewood Rooms Portsmouth – 15th June 2024

June 21, 2024 Tim Martin 0
This was the final date of a brief tour, built around an appearance at Black Deer Festival the previous day. With only five shows the band were very much in “lets have fun with it” mode. […]

Live Review: Sam Lee, The Round Chapel, London – 13th June 2024

June 20, 2024 Jonathan Aird 0

Live Review: The Wood Brothers + The Bygones – Greenfield Lake, Wilmington, North Carolina, 10th June 2024

June 20, 2024 Dean Nardi 0

Live Review: Brigid O’Neill, Basement at the Green Note, London – 4th June 2024

June 19, 2024 David Jarman 2
Intimate is perhaps an overused adjective for gigs in smaller venues, but it is certainly appropriate for the basement at London’s Green Note. Watching Bridget O’Neill perform two sets, with her son Cian McGrory joining her […]

Experiencing a rebirth with Algebra for Broken Hearts, the St. Paul, Minnesota band’s twelfth album on Julian Records (2025), is crucial language, one voicing an undersung American existence. Like the novel, I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif […]

AmericanA to Z: John Cougar Mellencamp

May 20, 2020 2
