Robert Jon & The Wreck “Ride Into The Light”

July 26, 2023 Paul Kerr 0

Southern rock’n’roll but missing the groove. With southern rock music making major inroads recently (see Jason Isbell, The Allman Betts Band and, a bit of an outlier, Lucas Nelson), Robert Jon, from California, along with his […]

Wren Hinds “Don’t Die In The Bundu”

July 26, 2023 Graeme Tait 0

The warm soft winds of Hinds’ African homeland embrace this first offering for Bella Union. ‘Don’t Die In The Bundu’ is the fourth official album release from Wren Hinds who hails from the southeast coast of […]

The Pink Stones “You Know Who”

July 26, 2023 Martin Johnson 0

Reinvigorated country rock with hints of soul, gospel, psych and dub. The local music scene of Athens, Georgia, which gave the world R.E.M., The B-52’s, The Drive-By Truckers, Vic Chesnutt, and countless others, is alive and […]

Rick Hornyak “Dandelion”

July 25, 2023 Lyndon Bolton 0

A record of introspection that rocks and muses. Describing Rick Hornyak as purely an “Austin heartland rocker” falls short of doing him proper justice. There is a lot of rock on this album, and full-on it […]

Seven Dark Lords “Ghost in Here”

July 25, 2023 Andy Davidson 0

There’s no sin in trying. At first, the name of this band conjured up an image of a wayward metal group offering up their album to Kerrang but Seven Dark Lords describe themselves as a new […]

Billy Strings “So Much For Goodbyes”

September 7, 2026 0

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 […]

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 […]

October 31, 2022 0

Beautiful lap steel guitar with poignant lyrics. The first thing to say about KB Bayley is what an excellent lap steel guitarist he is. This album is full of beautiful music, beautifully played. It has a […]
