Emily Barker and the Red Clay Halo // Almanac

"Twee flute? Check. Terrible plucked banjo? Check. Song about a witch? Yep, got that one covered too." - Something tells us BBV ain't a fan...

Justice // Audio, Video, Disco

"Their second full-length release starts with a He-man like wet dream. All heroism and might, it sets the tone for an album produced with comedy and inventiveness."

Lisa Hannigan // Passenger

"The album could easily see a second Mercury nomination for Hannigan, and will certainly see her step out from beneath Damien Rice’s shadow in full."

Feist // Metals

"Let’s just hope Diaggeo or the likes aren’t in the market for a new slice of Feist." - Emma hopes the new Feist record isn't sullied with commercialism.

Plaid // Scintilli

"Overall, Scinitilli presses a lot of my buttons, and you should let it have a poke at yours too." - See why Plaid have poked Bill's buttons...

You Me at Six // Sinners Never Sleep

"Sinners Never Sleep is a solid rock album that with each song exposes a different side of the struggles and successes they have had to go through as a band" - Ellie reviews You Me at Six's latest.

The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band // Peyton on Patton

"For those down with the bass, the slide and the wail, it’s a real Blues explosion." - Lizz reviews Peyton on Patton

Emika // Emika

"She says her main inspiration is the Dr Who theme tune (can’t argue with that one)." - Lizz reviews the Emika debut LP.

The Duke Spirit // Bruiser

It takes a strong-willed man to tell the hypnotic beauty of Liela Moss that you want a little less of anything from her, or indeed her band, The Duke Spirit...

The Drums // Portamento

Rip it off fast like a plaster. Perhaps that’s the best way of approaching that ‘difficult second album’...

Ed Sheeran // Plus

It's hard to appreciate just how far Ed Sheeran's musical wave has swept across the world; he's always been so huge here that it's too tall to peek over the parapet...

Charlie Simpson // Young Pilgrim

Each song brings with it hints of different genres and its own set of emotion and feeling which is really what makes this album special.
