Video: Pavilions – ‘Futures’
by Tom Roden
‘Futures’ is a confusing one, if you watch the video. While the video is a simple and straightforward performance video, that captures the intensity of the band and their passion for the music they create. But with that said, the video creates a few false starts at the beginning – giving the impression is going to explode a lot sooner than it does. In the brief absense of this explosive start, we are treated to a gentle vocal-led intro that […]

Juno – ‘States Of Mind’ Review
by Tom Roden

Their EP dropped in mid-2013, so I’m a little late to the party with this one. But their […]

Twice My Size – ‘We’re Not Dead’ EP Review
by Tom Roden
Pop-punk. It gets a bit of a bad rep. Not least from me, because I find that it’s like marmite as a musical genre. It can either be brilliantly unique or it can be horrifically generic. There is almost never a middle ground between the two – tracks go one way or the other. And this makes it very difficult to review. With that said, I bring you a review of pop-punk band Twice My Size’s debut EP ‘We’re Not Dead’. […]
