The Cinematics Review: The Boy Who Trapped the Sun - Watermark EP
I know these guys, they are friends of ours. We got to know them as they were some of the few musicians kicking around the highland music scene at the same time as us in the early naughties.

The Cinematics Review: Screaming Lights - Hello Tomorrow
The bit of blurb on the front of the CD cover says they share a fair bit with fellow Liverpudlians Teardrop Explodes and Echo and the Bunneymen, this just isn’t true. This is by no means a slur on the actual music, I just find it hilarious when bands (including mine) are given comparisons which bear no resemblance to them at all. Read More …

Ivyrise Review: Pixie Lott - Boys and Girls
Oh Pixie, this isn’t a good move, Boy’s And Girls is too throwaway pop, the lyrics are boring, and the single is just amateur, it’s not really delivering anything positive! Read More …

Broadway Calls Review: Hadouken - M.A.D
