Lambrini Girls – Electric Bristol
Electric Bristol has hosted some lively nights, but Lambrini Girls took things to a different level entirely. Arriving to a room already heaving wall-to-wall, they hit the stage like a detonation, launching straight into a blistering opening run that immediately sent the crowd into motion.

Album Review: Good Health Good Wealth – This Time Next Year We’ll Be Millionaires
“This time next year Rodney, we’ll be Meal-ee-on-airs” so regularly prophesied Del Boy on the much revered Only Fools and Horses. Adopting this aspirational mantra for their debut album, Good Health Good Wealth, are however, giving more just than just a soundbite - these are stories about a life, full of grind, graft, heartache, anxiety, poor choices, peppered with glory, euphoria and quick wins on a beautiful gloomy urban backdrop.
Album Review: The Clause – Victim Of A Casual Thing
Eight years, countless gigs and a trail of devoted fans later, The Clause have finally dropped their debut album and it was worth every second of the wait. Victim Of A Casual Thing is the sound of a band who’ve grown up, held their own and bottled the chaos, charm and confidence that’s defined their journey from Birmingham schoolmates to serious contenders on the British indie scene.
The Last Dinner Party – The 1865 Southampton
Only days after the release of their highly-anticipated second album, Baroque-pop favourites The Last Dinner Party stopped off in Southampton for not one, but two sold out performances.
Album Review: The Subways – When I’m With You
Opening with debut single Oh Yeah, the album wastes no time reintroducing that signature Subways formula: chaotic in the best way, punchy riffs colliding with shout along choruses and infectious confidence. It’s DIY in spirit but delivered like absolute pros - proof that their raw sound was never a lack of polish, but an intentional middle finger salute to overproduction!
Album Review: Richard Ashcroft – Lovin’ You
Richard Ashcroft is back, and he’s reminding us exactly why he’s one of Britain’s most enduring voices in modern music. After supporting Oasis on their stadium reunion tour across the UK - and soon to follow them on their South American dates - Ashcroft has returned to the spotlight with Lovin’ You, his seventh studio album, blending introspection, romance and the occasional musical curveball.
Album Review: Zac Lawrence – Beware of Pity
It’s fair to say that seeing DEADLETTER live and listening to their debut album Hysterical Strength on repeat were two highpoints of my recent musical adventurings. So when frontman Zac Lawrence’s solo record ‘Beware of Pity’ landed in my inbox I was more than a little excited. I then discovered with jittering joy that it was a 60’s folk inspired drop of potential loveliness. Yes, I cried, as I gave my little beardy chin a pensive scratch, quickly crossed myself in the name of Woody, Bert and the Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan and hit play. Thankfully, with folk’s holy trinity watching over me, I was not disappointed.
Album Review: Adult Leisure – The Things You Don’t Know Yet
I first came across Adult Leisure at the tail end of 2024 when I stumbled on their track Control. Within seconds, I was hooked - the glistening guitars, the emotive vocals and the way they managed to capture both joy and melancholy in a single track.
