Gone are the days of 90’s Britpop, but somehow, West Country boys, ‘Towns’ are bringing a hefty essence of the genre back. There’s been a gaping space in the music field for a while now, missing that...
There is a U2-esque sound to this single with Bono like vocals and a gradual build up to the slight crescendo of a finale. It begins with simple piano chords and then introduces the vocals, and gradu...
Soulmates Never Die is a some fresh talent from West Yorkshire. Generally I despise the use of ukelele in Indie music. It comes across as pretentious and, frankly, lazy. Better Skin, Better Clothes, ...
Long time readers of Never Enough Notes might be wondering how we pick our reviews. In my case, I do it entirely arbitrarily. I picked this because the labels name references one of John Steinbecks m...
It is often easy to loose track, quite literally, when listening to a record fuelled with drifting echoes and sweeping vocals but Porcelain Raft’s latest record manages to capture the elements of bot...

Personal bias at large, as Lisa Hannigan gets set to release her second single on March 26th from lyrically rich and emotionally enthralling album Passenger. Whatll I do is a bright, infectious and c...
After spending the majority of my day listening to a whole heap of new music (soon to be featured on Show & Tell), I thought why not spend the whole day listening to music? It’s a tough job but s...
Reel Big Fish were one of my first loves in terms of music. The live album was one of my favourite albums that I could probably sing every lyric to every song, and after not listening to them in a lo...

After the success of his fourth album, 2010’s Black City, Dear isn’t taking a rest and re-cooperating. Instead, he’s releasing this EP, touring, and preparing his fifth full-length, Beams, due out so...
James Blake, right? I know I know but just hear me out!! If it were a musical crime to have a similar style to a contemporary, then we wouldn’t have half of the music that we listen to today would we...
On the cusp between radio-friendly electro pop and the less-mainstream, more explicit side of electronic music lies Knife Party - a new collaboration between experienced artists Rob Swire and Gareth ...

Exciting news comes from M.I.A. as she releases a new single via Pitchfolk. ‘Bad Girls’ is a taster for what to expect from her fourth studio album coming out in the summer. It is a reworking of one ...
In the mountains of Snowdonia you can imagine that fog could be an issue, after all Wales is not exactly known for its dry weather. Out of these mountains, three years ago, emerged from the mist a so...
I did an assignment for Uni not long ago on how the digitalisation of music has ultimately made it more than difficult for bands to be noticed in the 21st century. Obviously a very debatable topic, b...
It’s a New Year and time for some new bands. First on my list is Saturday Sun, the first signing to the brand new Lazy Butterfly Records. A duo from the south west peninsular Purbeck, Saturday Sun ha...
Hevy Music Festival have released their first batch of bands set to make an appearance over the weekend. With over 60 acts yet to be announced, including the main stage headliners, Hevy is already sh...
Guitar music is dead....or so the papers say. As we move into 2012 every music publication is waiting for the next big guitar band, the next Libertines or Arctic Monkeys, a band that can change the l...
It is not often that you come across a record that speaks to you more than it does require listening upon first play. This particular record seems to offer more to the listener than just a collection...
