Atlantis - Seafret

You might remember seeing my review of Seafret's 'Oceans' a few months ago (if not go check it out now!) where I said to keep your eyes peeled, well here's their new song 'Atlantis'. And like I said last time - It's brilliant.

Beneath The Skin - Of Monsters And Men

The five-piece band from Iceland have such a brilliant sound, this second album really builds on their debut without straying from their signature sound. The way their voices blend together is beautiful and they really use this to advantage.

Singing For Strangers - Hudson Taylor

I really love this duo. Two brothers from Ireland, formerly known as Harry and Alfie and now known as 'Hudson Taylor'. I've loved watching these two grow from their little YouTube videos and busking to seeing where they are today with such a well-put together album. It's brilliant and really captures their whole vibe.

Chaos and the Calm - James Bay

‘Chaos and the Calm’ is the debut album from James Bay who shot to fame after releasing his single ‘Hold Back The River’ and winning Critics’ Choice at the BRIT awards in 2015 despite not having an album out at this time. The album was recorded in Nashville with the help of the three-time Grammy winning producer Jacquire King and shot straight to number 1 in the UK upon its release.

Go Big Or Go Home - American Authors

'Go Big Or Go Home' is the next single released by American rock band American Authors. They've said recently in interviews they don't feel pressured by the success of their debut album, particularly their hit single 'Best Day Of My Life'. After listening to this song you can understand why; looks like writing amazing songs is their forte.

Weatherman - Colton Avery

I am in love with Colton Avery. No lie. Not only is he a super talented singer, but a really lovely guy too. Always willing to reply to direct messages and seems nothing more than thankful for the support he's getting. He's currently touring with The Script and thankfully being introduced to Script fans around the world which is only helping to boost his fame and put smiles on our faces. The only thing that really sucks - no new music.

Hozier Live @ The Roundhouse - 1/06/2015

This was possibly the best concert I've ever been to. It was flawlessly beautiful and so effortlessly perfect, I don't think it's possible for anyone to have left being disappointed. They somehow managed to replicate the amazing sound of the album in front of the crowd yet providing a different energy. To add to all this the venue was brilliant and the staff were absolutely lovely! The Roundhouse is probably my favourite venue; the staff are always lovely, the building itself is extraordinary and the quality of the concert (sound and visually) is always perfect, no matter where you sit/stand.

5AM - Amber Run

The album ‘5 AM’ is the debut album of Nottingham based band 'Amber Run', and in no way disappoints. Although fairly unknown their song ‘I Found’ brought people in with its beautiful melody and lyrics, for those who are aware of their music already, the album is just as brilliant.
