You can’t see the picture when you’re in the frame. Since I Was A Boy A song of betrayal, of false hope and breaking free from the ties that have held you back and held you down. There are moments in life when we are deceived and lied to, but we don’t always realise it..

We are currently stewing up some new music for you all. Thank you everyone who has bought or streamed our last release. You can buy it here if you’re interested. This new music we have been brewing, we are releasing a new single titled ‘Lay Down Let Go’ in November and so we wanted to..

TRUE STRAYS WHERE THE WILD THINGS HIDE AND HUNT Independent In an era of over produced music, where slick production and session musicians prevail, it is a true joy to hear music that is played and produced just for the importance of the music itself. This Bristol based trio seem to hark back to a..

Thankyou Ed Dyer from The Ocelot for this review: These songs fizz out of your speakers, crackling with an energy and sheer, unadulterated joy, challenging you to stomp your feet, to get up and throw yourself around. Musically the formula is simple; slide guitars scream, double bass thumps, the beats have more energy than a..

Before I knew, or so they say. Oh to be young, full of hope, with a life plan that will play out just as you envision. Just work hard enough, keep smiling and all will be yours…right? Don’t get me wrong, I still follow these morals with the same enthusiasm as my younger self did..

Our first encounter with this soul came late one smokey night, as many an encounter does, but not all hold our dwindling attention span as..

Canción numéro 4…. Heal The Haunting Damn those scrounging, lingering demons…. This was a song that lyrically took many forms before it revealed its true self. Stanzas whirling and never fixating until inspiritation finally settles from a character in the book ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’. The key moment in which the penny dropped and..

Track three brings us to Roll On. Close your eyes, take a deep breath…. You’re cruising down an unknown road. The sun is sinking into the horizon and a breeze is quietly whispering in your ear. You don’t know where you are going to end up, but you have no fear. A song to accompany..

The 2nd track from ‘Where The Wild Things Hide and Hunt’ is ‘My Darling’. Here we have a classic love song (yes, you did read that correctly). We too have a squidgy emotional bit inside of that hardened outer layer. The theme of My Darling focus’ on the acceptance of each other within a relationship...
