I had never been to the Silver Bullet venue for a gig before tonight. It is quirky, interesting and has wonderful acoustics. It is just like the man I have come to see, that man being Vinny Peculiar. Mr Peculiar…
Rating: The name of the band is interesting but unfortunately this release, Hold My Home, is not. I do not know much about Cold War Kids but I was expecting something different, perhaps an experimental outing with politics thrown in for…
Rating: I had never heard of Firefly Burning until their music appeared in my e-mail inbox. I have no idea why they have remained a stranger to me for this album, Skeleton Hill, is an eclectic treat. It is the…

Rating: If it was possible to have sex with an album, this is the record that I’d be getting down with. Les Bonbons do it for me on a musical level. I’ve listened to this self-titled debut outing several times and it’s…
