Matt Benson “Sit Back Down Again”

August 8, 2025 Paul Russell 0

Spectacular debut album from ivory-tinkling Irish newcomer. Great albums tend to make an impact from the get-go. Even greater albums hit the mark when they make an instant impact in a modest way. This is how […]

Icarus Phoenix “I Should Have Known The Things You Never Said” (Deluxe Edition)

August 7, 2025 Graeme Tait 0

Danburry and team expand on the compelling uneasiness of last year’s album with an additional twenty-nine songs from the same recording session. In his review last September of Icarus Phoenix’s latest release, “I Should Have Known […]

Eli West “The Shape of a Sway”

August 6, 2025 Alasdair Fotheringham 0

A quietly fiery masterpiece of liberated and liberating bluegrass. Of all the different types of americana, bluegrass can be one of the most challenging to review – but some might say that’s an unintended consequence of […]

Billy Strings “So Much For Goodbyes”

September 7, 2026 1

Billy Strings plays through the pain to deliver an exceptional performance. Much has been written of Billy Strings’ experience growing up in Michigan, losing his father to a drug overdose at the age of 2 and […]

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 […]

Stornoway live at the Found Festival, Claydon Hall, Bucks -29th to 31st August 2026

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 […]
