Jared Dustin Griffin “The Perseverance of Sisyphus”

October 8, 2025 Dean Nardi 1
A record that revolves around change and the arduous process of accepting. Jared Dustin Griffin’s sophomore album – “The Perseverance of Sisyphus” – could be seen as dreary yet formidable. It is a brooding rumination on […]

A first visit to EartH, the Hackney multi-venue performance space – and specifically a gig in the EartH Theatre venue, which is a converted and restored Art Deco cinema space. This celebration of the life and […]

Laura Veirs “Laura Veirs and the Choir Who Couldn’t Say (Live In Angoulême)”

October 7, 2025 Peter Thompson 0
This collaboration between Laura Veirs and a French school choir offers a different perspective on songs from Veirs’ back catalogue. Don’t you just love an album with a fascinating back story? Well, this album has one […]

Will Rainier “Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em”

October 7, 2025 Peter Churchill 0
Hanging around in bars pays off for Seattle-based wordsmith. Without wishing to venture into the dodgy world of American stereotyping, particularly at this moment in its history, it may be fair to say that hanging around […]

Billy Strings “So Much For Goodbyes”

Elanor Moss “The Knife, The Needle”

September 7, 2026 0
Insightful lyrics and a delicate voice contrast with full-bodied horns to make a debut that feels authentically true to itself. They say art does not come easy, and that’s certainly something Elanor Moss found when trying […]

Live Review: Found Festival, Claydon Hall, Bucks – 29th-31st August 2026

September 7, 2026 1
Found festival reminded me of the very first End Of The Road back in 2006: compact, homely, community-orientated and skilfully curated. The panoramic melodies, wide pastoral instrumentation and whimsical lyricism of local-ish heroes Stornoway instantly induced […]

Interview: Nora Kelly holds space for the quirky in outlaw country music

August 24, 2026 1
It’s always the ride and not necessarily the destination that makes a trip through a Nora Kelly Band album worthwhile. The songs can be zany, intriguing and melancholic all at once, cavorting to their own primal […]

March 16, 2020 0
Forever Honey walk that narrow line between the folk-rock of 10,000 Maniacs and the fuzzyness of Mazzy Star, with frontsperson Liv Price being the bounciest lead singer since Claire Grogan.  Not a lot of twang from […]

The Hanseroth Twins “Vera”

August 23, 2024 0
Sibling harmonies and bitter-sweet songs make for a fine debut from Brandi Carlile’s bandmates. It’s fair to say that only the initiated will immediately recognise the names of Phil and Tim Hanseroth despite a handsome career […]
