If you’re ever in a Wetherspoons and you see LONA sitting in there, make sure you order to their table some Buttermilk Chicken Burgers, a couple of Fosters and a Jacket Potato. You will become their number fan if you do. LONA is the band for you if you’re ever feeling lonely. Although the boys admitted they were ‘loners’ back in university, that isn’t the case anymore with the size of the crowd that was in London on the 17th April to seem them perform. The four-piece band that consists of John Clancy, James Phillips, Sam Horvath, and Todd Blackmore…

If I see anything with the word ‘burger’ in it, I am immediately interested, so when I listened to BVRGER’S latest track ‘COOPER’ for the first time I was hungry for more. “Everybody’s so self-centered lately’, f**k them.” A quick little message at the start of the song before the melody hit let us know that BVRGER had not come to play. ‘COOPER’ is like your own little therapy session in your ears, addressing your anxieties and fears, and that we care too much for the wrong things. Just like the fantastic space-themed artwork for his track ‘COOPER’, BVRGER’s soft,…
To be honest, I probably wouldn’t mind if Busted ‘Crashed The Wedding’ I had in the future, and if they had gone to the same school as me they definitely would’ve been ‘What I Go To School For.’ My former nine-year-old self is screaming right now. Growing up with my parents blasting their Busted CD in the car when I was on my way to school may have helped towards my obsession with Busted at the time, not forgetting McFly – let’s do a quick shout out to them. Although Busted’s 2019 single off their new album ‘Half Way There’…
‘Dynamite’ is a cinematic track from PLYA, the electronic, rock, atmospheric, alt-pop band who are getting people talking. Pronounced “ply-ah,” Spanish for “beach” it features the vocals of Julia Sykes, whose eclectic upbringing has influenced the group with their connections to London, Europe and Los Angeles. Thirty seconds into the track and it makes you feel as if dynamite has erupted in your ears as the explosion of the chorus hits you. Julia’s eerie vocals make her sound like someone you don’t want to mess with, but there is still a beautiful voice behind that clear-cut presence. She explains, “‘Dynamite’…
The VOXI Hot Sauce Tour was hotter than hot, it was piping hot, it was on FIRE as the spicy lineup took over the stage. Surrounded by artists such as One Acen, Unknown T, Alicai Harley, DJ Damn Shaq, Chip and the Chicken Shop Date legend herself, Amelia, it meant that there was an exciting crowd of Hip-Hop and Rap fans. With free chicken on the menu (I mean who doesn’t love free food?) and free merch (that’s something I’ve never said before), this tour was full of surprises and it didn’t break the bank. Chicken Shop Date is the…
‘Faith’ is the addictive new single from the brilliant singer-songwriter tiLLie, which is inspiring hope in abuse survivors across the country. Only five seconds in and the backing track fits the criteria for a holiday advert on TV perfectly, making me picture a couple holding hands on a sandy beach or a beautiful green landscape. For abuse victims, this proves that the grass is always greener on the other side. Following the buzz of her breakout EP that landed her on the Vans Warped Tour, the Annie Mac show on BBC Radio 1, and on the video game ‘Rock Band’…
From watching Lady Gaga in her flamboyant costumes to listening to Mark Ronson’s award-winning album, it’s clear that Delena has had some pretty big idols in her life, and she’s on her way to be just like them. Music and art have always been in Delena’s blood. She was born in Kiev, schooled in Switzerland and attended the London Institute Of Contemporary Music Performance. Moving to London was a new lease of life for Delena, who’s sassy style of pop is refreshing for those who set their eyes and ears on it. Following stunning singles ‘Nothing Can Stop Us Now’…
Meet Acesiz, one of the many talented and driven artists coming out of London this year, and his latest EP ‘UK to the States’ is bound to deliver. His personal struggle and passion shone through each one of his singles, appearing courageous but humble at the same time. Only being 22, Acesiz has already gained an in-depth knowledge of the music industry. While he’s still getting comfortable with his own sound within the rap and hip hop scene, his confidence radiated when I interviewed him, even through the screen of my laptop. With a hefty 16.6k followers on his Instagram,…
If I saw somebody dancing alone by the sea, in a long leather jacket, in near complete darkness…that might just scare me. However, Somali-Canadian artist Amaal makes all of that look beautiful, with the music video being set around mother nature herself. Amaal has returned to music following much time spent on her activist work as the Goodwill Ambassador for Somalia Women and Children. Her long-awaited single ‘Not What I Thought’ was released on January 10th, 2019, making it one of the first songs of this year that is truly touching, with the music video being just as special. Her…
Erin Louise may be trying to take over the music industry, but in the meantime, she has already taken over my YouTube playlist. Scrolling through her Instagram with over 4000 followers, it sounded like a mini Christina Aguilera popped out of the screen when I heard her voice for the first time. Erin Louise may only be fifteen, but she is fearless, knows exactly she wants and has a passion for inspiring young people to believe in themselves. Do we have a new Beyoncé on the way? 2018 was an amazing year for music. Childish Gambino tried to open America’s…
