May 9, 2017 David Cowling 0
Biram peddles a scuzzy version of the blues, and on Set Me Free he sounds like someone who has lost their teeth the hard way and still comes up swinging. To his credit, he covers a lot […]

May 9, 2017 KC Vines 0
There is a legend among Thames boatmen of a ghost ship, a vessel shrouded in darkness plying the grey river in the night. On board a band plays, guests revel and the music drifts out across […]

Skram “Head Held High” (Independent, 2017)

May 9, 2017 Paul Kerr 0
Oh dear. I’m sure I’m not the only reviewer who sighed when catching sight of the PR sheet accompanying this album which describes Skram as “an Americana style Hypno Folk Rock family band.” The hypno bit […]

Interview: Adam Levy on the Honeydogs celebrated return
