Junior
Junior is a Buenos Aires based rock band made up of Gabriel (vocal /guitar), Alfred (drums) and Matt (bass) and that is all it takes for these guys to rattle the speakers. My windows are happy as they flex with the sonics that reverberate against them and I must just add, I quite like it too. The trio punch […]

Swirling sounds emerge from the speakers, with electronics accompanied by fused guitar generating a space which reminds me of Celtic folk combined with funk. This is music which […]

Sonner
Sonner from Sunderland in England deliver an emotional heart to rock music as Mick Corkhill, Gareth Ord, Tom Elliott and Gary Partridge reflect the world around them. The more I hear musicians from the North East of England, the more I question my long-held perceptions. I am wondering whether this really is the hardened face of industrial deprivation as many […]
