Photography by Connor Malanos I have attended a Dreambox Collective event before last year virtually during the height of COVID. The virtual event was beautiful and a great way to escape the lockdown/isolation blues. However, I feel like seeing a Dreambox Collective event in person was a better way to fully appreciate the production, logistics …
EP REVIEW: “party mix” by Holly Hebe
EP REVIEW – “party mix” by @hollyhebe What a way to end the year of reviews! A very strong finish… In the opening song “edith street”, Holly really captures the focus you have when you are in love. Some people call it rose-coloured glasses but I think it’s more like photographic glasses. Where you watch the …
SONG REVIEW – “Sick of You” by Sarah Yagki
Being sick of being sick of you… A great meaning behind this one – one which I think we can all relate to. Do you remember that iconic scene in ’10 Things I Hate About You’ where Julia Stiles stands in front of her class and reads out her poem to Heath Ledger? To me …
SONG REVIEW – “Rain and Snow” by The Wandering Blind
The duo are back! On the first listen through I was already happily surprised to hear growth and strengthening since their last single. ‘Rain and Snow’ shows a bit more maturity which I like and the production is just a slight step up from ‘Oh well’. I think Wandering Blind has convinced me that indie …
SONG REVIEW – “Sleep Without You” by Manning
It is interesting when you think about how sleep and love or desire are so interconnected. When we are laying in bed and we can have that moment of silence where we realise we are alone with our thoughts and that one person keeps coming up into your head. You just can’t stop thinking about …
SONG REVIEW – “Pretty Boy” by GRXCE
Indie rock is never my go-to genre as I’ve hinted at many times before, however, GRXCE has got my attention. Jamila’s vocals in their new single “Pretty Boy” saves the genre for me. There is articulation, a range of emotion and a slight amount of grunge where I can stay hooked. I always wonder what …
GIGGING OUT – Kian Brownfield LIVE with Becca Hatch at Mary’s Underground
Now I love a dance at a gig and boy oh boy @beccaxhatch and @kian.brownfield did not disappoint last night at the @marysunderground. Kian’s album launch was met with massive hype and support. The crowd’s energy was fantastic. Kian moved effortlessly on stage to beats and melodies that were both original and addictive. Kian has a lovely mid tone range …

SONG REVIEW – “More to Me” by Erin Foster
Erin is a very honest lyricist even when it means revealing specific thoughts and feelings. ‘More to Me’ is one of those songs that doesn’t shy away from the flaws of love – people change themselves to be loved, some people choose lonely relationships over being single and worse some people put their lovers on …
