The Savage Nomads – What The Angel Said

Yeeeeees! Despite my initial love of The Savage Nomads at the start of this year, their vibrant debut ‘Coloured Clutter’ had managed to fall down and out of my iPod playlists, being kicked out of prominence by bigger-named, indie … Read More

Crowns – Kissing Gates / Whose Pint’s Whose

“Charming” isn’t really a word one would associate with a band who have supported The King Blues, but this debut single from Cornwall based indie-folkers Crowns has it in spades. Based around the mandolin this has everything that Mumford … Read More
