GIG REVIEW: Glasvegas, The Wedgewood Rooms
A compelling and satisfying set for the avid indie rocking Glasvegas fans that packed out a sold out Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth on 21 March.

Daughters of Davis, The Barley Mow, Southsea
There is no doubt the gorgeous sisters that make up acoustic soul/folk duo, Daughters of Davis, have the talent, determination and inspirational attitude to make their dreams come true.

SLAMDUNK: Mayday Parade, We are the In Crowd, A Rocket to the Moon…
An American pop rock feast of bands played at the Wedgewood Rooms in June at the latter end of their Slamdunk tour, which was willingly eaten up by the crowd of angst teenagers in anticipation for the headliners, Mayday Parade.

GIG REVIEW: A Genuine Freakshow
A ‘no frontman needed’ army of great musicians dressed in black clothes and comfy shoes are the essential ingredients that make the band, A Genuine Freakshow. The Reading based 7-piece post-rock pop band played to an intimate crowd at The Cellars in Portsmouth on Tuesday 9 November 2010. The gig was part of a UK […]
ALBUM REVIEW: Deer Hunter, Halcyon Digest
A chilled out Indie album with the nostalgic undertones of the Beetles and emotional strokes of Cold Play. I had the advantage of knowing nothing about the band, Deer Hunter, when I was first handed the album ‘Halcyon Digest’, released 27 September 2010. The cover is a dark artistic portrayal of what looks like a […]
