Jubilee Courts – ‘Go From The Blue Light Into The Moonlight’ EP Review
by Tom Roden
There’s only so many times you can hear a genre before it gets a little bit stale. Luckily, in most cases, artists can offer something that deviates from the norm and can surprise us a little bit to add at least a breeze of fresh air. Jubilee Courts, however, don’t add an awful lot to a very mainstream style that is gradually losing momentum and novelty. Debut EP ‘Go From The Blue Light Into The Moonlight’ is going to drop […]

Moats – ‘Snakepit’ Review
by Tom Roden
There’s something heartwarming and refreshing about listening to a track where as much effort has gone into crafting the lyrics as went into composing the music. And in Moats’ new track, ‘Snakepit’, this is exactly how it feels. Brooding guitars, a sinister bassline and a primal drumbeat form the backdrop for ‘Snakepit’ – showcasing a darker side to the band’s sound. Fans of Moat’s other soundcloud tracks (notably ‘Absorb’ and ‘Toothache’) will be well acquainted with the dramatic sounding guitars […]
