    Review – Godsticks – This Is What A Winner Looks Like

    It’s been a long and eventful road for Godsticks since emerging onto the scene with their eponymously titled EP in 2009 showcasing the band’s then progressive-rock leanings.

    Review – Gustaf Ljunngren & Emil de Waal – Stockholm K?benhavn

    “It’s as much about the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves and the state of mind that you are left in.” One of the surprise releases of the year for me in 2022 was Gustaf Llunngren’s ‘Floreana’, a delightful album that “will leave you in a place of utter calm and leave you…

    Review – Dave Foster Band – Glimmer – by John Wenlock-Smith

    According to the dictionary Glimmer means to shine faintly with a wavering light, which is interesting as I think Shimmer would be an equally meaningful title for what is a rather fascinating album from the Dave Foster Band.? This release is one that uses lots of strong musical passages to get its point across. Through…
