We cut through the hype and give the one thing lacking in so many places these days: an honest opinion. We're not going to put something down for the sake of it either. For an honest outlook on music (and other subjects), you're in the right place!
Time ofr another roundup of our favourite online clips, first up are Johnny Foreigner with the promo for ‘Criminals’, set to be the first release from their forthcoming album ‘Grace and the Bigger Picture’. Next up, and perfect for a sunday morning when your ears are still ringing, Voluntary Butler Scheme with ‘Trading Things In’, it’s a quirky little video for a lovely little tune. Har Mar Superstar is back with another viral clip touting his return later this year! The big guns are out too, with Editors new track Papillon (if you liked their earlier stuff, this is a future classic). Last, but by no means least, we have some rather lovely indie-pop by Silent Years. Give them a watch and let us know what you think….
