Lily Juniper is a 17 year old London based singer songwriter currently studying at The BRIT School, and her sound epitomises the innocence that most of todays youth has so long outgrown. On her EP, released January last year, lie three songs that speak of confusion, love and longing. Lily’s soulful, gentle voice complements her poetic lyrics, and her simplistic melodies are all that is needed. The standout song for me is Not Enough, opening…
On February 12th, 2014, Frank Turner played his biggest headline show to date, accompanied by the Sleeping Souls, at the O2 Arena in London. To say he looked at home on such a huge stage would be an exaggeration, but he absolutely knew how to handle it. After support from Beans on Toast and Flogging Molly, the crowd were more than ready for Frank to start his show, a near 2 hour set combining all the classics,…

A rare, very intimate window was open for us in the life of Fiona Apple – the singer-songwriter performed “I know” in a typical living room, while holding the hand of an elder woman; we don’t know who the woman is, and, to be perfectly honest, I don’t mean to pry. Just enjoy the wonderful moment: This acoustic rendition was taken from “When the Pawn” – which is actually the short name for the album….
I’m sure if any of us searched the dusty corners of our musical memory banks, we’d find the unmistakable and unforgettable lyrics to James Blunt’s breakout hit ‘You’re Beautiful.’ The catchy track that earned him a #4 spot on Billboards top songs of 2006 list. Well if you’re one of those people whose been living in 2006 for the past seven years, you’ll be excited to know that James Blunt has returned. His new single…
City and Colour may have emerged onto the music scene as a small side project from Ontario native, Dallas Green, but with three platinum albums and a history of performing alongside alt-rock heavyweights like Neil Young, it’s hard for this “hipstered-out” Clark Kent to stay out of the limelight. Back in 2005, the former Alexisonfire vocalist released a solo LP entitled Sometimes. This was one of the first times Green had truly ever showcased his abilities as…
Five of the bands I am most looking forward to at Live At Leeds, the city music festival taking place over May Bank Holiday…for the price of what, 4 pints in London? 1975 Huw Stevens, Zane Lowe and Fearne Cotton all love The City by 1975, and I am inclined to agree that as upbeat summer struts go, it’s not at all bad. Now let’s find some summer. Little Comets Thundering slaps, wailing and whirring, jangling guitars and pots…

Now, they’re speaking out against the health risks that fracking might possess by doing what they know best – music. With this in mind, they’ve enlisted countless celebrities from the world of music and the movie industry to aid…
“Dreams are great, but eventually you have to wake up.” You probably haven’t heard of Cash Wilson, or his latest album. The Nashville-based singer/songwriter’s CD fell into my hands after a friend recommended I give it a shot. Since it was coming out of Nashville, I expected to hear either country-pop or desperate indie rock. Luckily, Cash Wilson sidesteps these stereotypes and provides a quality album that a lot of people would surely…
