REVIEW: Chvrches – The Bones of What You Believe
Ever since Chvrches graced the BBC’s Sound of 2013 poll last year, we all knew they were bound for success. Indeed, the stylised, and somewhat confusing, spelling of “Churches” initially dominated my curiosity, however before long, it was less about the name, and more about the music. Formed in 2011, the Glaswegian trio seemed to… Continue reading REVIEW: Chvrches – The Bones of What You Believe
REVIEW: Frank Hamilton – The Arches, Glasgow
Frank Hamilton The Arches, Glasgow 21/09/2013 While standing subdued during support acts, the female-dominated audience was spurred into a chorus of screams and wolf-whistles as Frank Hamilton took his place on stage.

REVIEW: Arctic Monkeys – AM
Three men. Five albums. Five Brit awards. And most importantly, one rogue frontman, with a Sheffield accent and newly exposed quiff. Of course, I’m talking about Arctic Monkeys, whose eagerly anticipated fifth album, AM, is creeping its unique melody into everybody’s ears, and their iTunes too.

Review: Billy and Me – Giovanna Fletcher
Being embarrassingly a little bit too in love with McFly for a 22-year-old, I have been envious of Tom Fletcher’s wife Giovanna for many years. Especially after that wedding speech *sigh* (if you haven’t seen Tom’s wedding speech, do yourself a favour and head over to YouTube immediately!).
