After listening to two of the first tracks by Liverpudlian quartet Go-Fiasco, I was left thinking about the futility of categorising music into genres. The self described ‘sludge-pop’ band show features of psychadelia, pop, progressive rock, classic rock and at a push, punk. The wide range of influences is more evident in ‘Meet My Mystery’ but works much more successfully…

There are two songs under the microscope today (because I could only find two, not because I couldn’t be assed listening to more, honestly…): ‘Sit & Wonder’ and ‘Viral Parasitoid’. Yes, indeed, a parasitoid, I totally know what that is, delicious on toast. For all you people who don’t know…

In this day and age, it seems like the key to recognition in the music world is to mildly or not-so-mildly reference the seaside, the sea, or anything affiliated (Swim Deep, Best Coast, I could go on). Although Caves isn’t a direct affiliation, it’s close enough, right?! Due to my complete…

As being an avid listener and self-confessed dance and electronica superfan, I was excited to hear the somewhat psychedelic sounds produced by this talented artist; Invisible Alliance. Game Theory is the debut, and most celebrated single from the artist and performer. This track gained respect from many music ‘boffins’ in Liverpool…

The songs of KynchinLay, which from now on I’m going to shorten to Chin because I will definitely spell it wrong if I don’t, simply cannot be described in the same breath; they’re all so pleasantly unique, so I’m going to break things down a bit. Their first song, ‘Leave…

You know that feeling you get when you smell salt in the air or cookies in the oven and you’re just instantly transported back into the past, back into your little muddy wellies or your Nan’s homely kitchen? Back into times of childlike happiness that you took so much for…
