May 9, 2012 – 8:40 pm | No Comment

While listening to this new, typically idiosyncratic single by cosmic eccentrics Super Best Friends Club, I found myself split down the centre, psychologically speaking, until the two predominant aspects of my personality were standing in the middle of the room, facing one another down and shouting.

Charlie Simpson // New Single – ‘Parachutes’ // 08.08.11 // Nusic

Parachute is the second single to be taken from the former Busted and Fightstar front man’s debut solo album, ‘Young Pilgrims’. In the same vein as its predecessor, ‘Down, Down, Down’, ‘Parachutes’ showcases Charlie’s beautiful signature vocals in a much mellower way than what we’re used to. It’s a very confident venture and it’s clear [...]

We’re No Heroes // Quiet Colours // Out Now // Self Release

The stifling lack of originality and ingenuity is actually depriving my brain of stimulation to an extent that I am probably going to have to plug an oxygen tank into my face and open the valve.

Hospitality at Motion // Bristol // 15/07/11

We bounce up to Motion, semi-inebriated and keen, and go to the guest list queue, expecting to breeze through. I am definitely supposed to be here, after all. It’s all been arranged. What could go wrong?

Milk Maid // Not Me // Out Now // FatCat/Suffering Jukebox

You may remember Manchester’s Milk Maid who were featured on Never Enough Notes last month and reviewed by Amy Hughes.

Bonjay // Stumble/Creeping  // Out Now // One Bird Records

…it can only be described as 4 minutes of the kind of sex that makes men say stupid things like ‘lets move in together’.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich // Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm // Out Now // Dirty Hit

A lot has been expected from this record due to how well the EPs were received when they were released, the question is, has Leftwich succeeded in living up to the hype or has he fallen short?

Camea // Clinkology // 15.07.2011 // Clink

There are two things about Camea Hoffman that you come to learn when googling her on the internet: 1) Don’t put Camea down as Camera… Google gets confused easily and the undesirable results are as useful as snorting oxygen… 2) Camea is an acronym for Central Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Association… It also stands for Centre [...]

I found myself overtly comfortable and showed Adam Garcia how the band’s music had provoked me to do my trademark pelvic thrust dance move. He kindly laughed and said “well any move where you penetrate 3 women in front of you is a good one”…

Ed Sheeran // Scala, London // 6.07.2011

The hour and a half set consisted of Ed’s original songs from his past EP’s, mainly Loose Change, released in 2010, which brought him from unknown to up-and-coming. The crowd were clearly Sheeran devotees, singing along to every last word.
