‘Your Religion’ – King In Yellow: Anthemic, Direct And No-Frills Guitar Chaos
Very little is known about King In Yellow; snippets of information from Spotify, a meagre pitch, that’s it. They’re new, raw and embracing everything I love about this iteration of alternative rock (yes, that very broad pigeon hole set aside for bands that don’t fit neatly into any specific genre); the apparent chaos, the primal […]

Podge Lane Returns With ‘Down’; A Sign Of Things To Come?
Cork troubadour extraordinaire, Podge Lane, resurfaces for the release of his 3rd studio album with the unveiling of the rather delightful and equally infectious ‘Down‘. His influences may be firmly planted within the Alternative-Country sub-genre occupied by The Avett Brothers and more mainstream Country icons such as John Prine, but this offering could comfortably grace […]
Athena Lim’s Infectious New Single: ‘White Dust’ – Catchy, Serene, and Unmissable!
Every now and then, a song comes along that just ticks all my boxes. There needs to be an element of nonchalant cool, the track should be catchy and still have a deeper musical connection, and the production needs to match the song quality. And, I also like a song that doesn’t take itself too […]
