Two years on from 2018’s Hope Downs, Australia’s Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever returns with their sophomore record, Sideways to New Italy.

Just Mustard Please

Just Mustard at The Workman’s Club was a gig I had been eagerly anticipating for a while now. Having had their debut Wednesday on repeat for the last few months, seeing them live was the last piece of the puzzle. Venue The Workman’s Club. Haven’t been to a gig here before but I enjoyed it.Continue reading “Just Mustard Please”

AM-Arctic Monkeys

‘AM’ marked a return to form for Arctic Monkeys. After the release of ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ and ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, I felt their music took a bit of a dip. They tried some new stuff which didn’t work out, even their records cover art was slated at one point.Continue reading “AM-Arctic Monkeys”

The National – Sleep Well Beast

It’s finally here!! All is well in this world again with the release of The Nationals seventh album ‘Sleep Well Beast’. It’s been four years since ‘Trouble Will Find Me‘ and on first appearances, the wait is worth it. Four singles preceded the release of the album, the best in my opinion being ‘Carin InContinue reading “The National – Sleep Well Beast”

The Killers – Hot Fuss

Ah yes. The Killers. The early Killers actually just to clear things up. Back when Brandon Flowers was fresh faced and Mr. Brightside took over the world of radio. They came flying out of the traps with their early singles and became one of the biggest bands in the world in a pretty short spaceContinue reading “The Killers – Hot Fuss”
