The Covasettes: Like You – Single Review (Plus B-Side)
With Valentine’s Day becoming a distant memory, it brings the arrival of The Covasettes newest single ‘Like You’. Stripping themselves right back ‘Like You’ isn’t as heavy as some of their other songs such as This Feeling which is, in the words of the Covas, a ‘mega’ tune to really get a crowd going. We…

Off the Bone
When you hear open mic night it’s easy to assume the lineup consists of indie wannabes and artists fresh out the womb getting a bit of practise in a pub; Urban Arts Studio’s open mic night couldn’t be any further the cliché. Follow the West Art trail through the back alleys of st.annes square and…

If you told me that I’d meet the next great artist folding napkins and setting tables for the Daily Mail at the races I would politely tell you to f*ck off. However, you can’t deny facts. Tall, long hair, Doc Martens and full of life, it didn’t take long for me and Archie to get…

The Slumdogs- Cut the Conversation Short: Single Review
The Blackpool music scene is gritty, it’s raw and its f*cking real. With huge names like Strange Bones paving the way for young bands, they’re leaving a huge gap for hard-edged, in-your-face bands like The Slumdogs to really dominate.
