Dum Dum Girls: Only In Dreams
Dum Dum Girls is one vintage venerating band that could easily be dismissed as just that, yet another retro reverent band. But that would be reductive criticism. Informed by France’s yé-yé (a contemporary example would be April March of ‘Chick Habit’ fame), they’ve certainly gotten enough criticism of that from their debut. Sophomore album Only […]
Soft Rocks: The Curse of Soft Rocks
Distancing themselves from the monotony of today’s musical palette, Soft Rocks, out of Brighton UK, have pieced together a musical soundscape on their new album The Curse Of Soft Rocks.

They’d be right, and they’d be wrong. For […]

Reflecting a period of transition in the musician’s life; amidst the end of a 6 year relationship and beginning of the new relationship that resulted in his marriage, we […]
