Tallulah Rendall – Alive

GoldSoul – Blood Red
5 June 2011 | aaamusicFrom a band that counts Gem Archer, Richard Hawley & Nick O’ Malley amongst their fans, Gold Soul are a real disappointment. Their two track single released on an independent label sounds poor throughout, with the recording quality being … Read More
Sarah Jarosz – Follow Me Down
5 June 2011 | aaamusicTime for a generic observation: all music is somewhat of an acquired taste, even if it’s not particularly challenging or unusual, due to the fact that in my experience if you aren’t already a fan of it when you … Read More
