I was lucky enough to catch the last song of Pumarosa’s set when they supported Gengahr at Norwich Arts Centre. I fell in love with the track named ‘Priestess‘ instantly and kicked myself for not getting there in time to watch their whole set. The band had a great aura about them and a brilliant […]
Read more "Tune Tuesday: Pumarosa – Priestess"I was told about Algiers a few weeks ago by a colleague. She played ‘But She Was Not Flying‘ to our office full of people, we then preceded to listen to it again and again, until we’d played the song about five times in a row. When I got home I downloaded the album and […]
Read more "Tune Tuesday: Algiers – But She Was Not Flying"This is my favourite song at the moment. It’s brilliant. NAO has this hypnotic voice you can’t help but love. She mixes electronic instrumentals with soul infused vocals to create beautiful songs that make you want to get out of your seat and dance.

Read more "Tune Tuesday: Jeru the Damaja – Come Clean"This week I had a chat with Cabrakid to talk about the release of their new EP ‘When You Back?’. We talked through each track and what it meant to them personally. Here’s how it went. First of all, can you tell me a little bit about yourselves and how you met? Jake: Cabrakid is […]
Read more "Interview With Cabrakid"The Crookes have been my go-to band for many years, they have a skill at pumping out catchy indie rock tunes. Last night the band supported The Fratellis at the UEA in Norwich, I was really excited to see how they’d pull off playing a bigger venue than I’d seen them play previously. They absolutely […]

Read more "Tune Tuesday: Ghostpoet – Be Right Back, Moving House"November so far has been pretty bleak, but one thing that keeps me sane in the dark autumn/winter months is some good music. That in mind, I’ve put together a little playlist for you all, in the hopes that you can keep ahold of your sanity too. It features some hip hop and grime songs […]
Read more "November Playlist"I first became aware of Federico Marin AKA Kiko Bun when I heard him singing on Loyle Carner’s ‘October’. He’s a singer, songwriter and producer from South London, and is creating some beautiful music that sounds as if some of the classic reggae tracks from artists such as Ernest Wilson and Dennis Brown have been […]
Read more "Tune Tuesday: Kiko Bun – Sometimes"It’s finally here. Halloween. The only day of the year when it’s socially acceptable to knock on strangers’ doors asking for food. A day where costumes are thrown together at the last minute on mass. A day when 90% of the female population magically transform into cats. I fucking love it! With many of Norwich’s […]
