About

If you are reading this, then you have an interest in music. Growing up my mum listened to Abba and Barry Manilow, I cannot say they moved me. The odd song on Top of the Pops I thought was okay, but it was at my friend’s house when I was about thirteen that my love for music began.

​

He put on one of his big brother’s singles. The riff started and ten seconds later the drums kicked in with the singer, who certainly did not have a voice like Manilow, opening with “Darling you have got to let me know?” This was Should I Stay Or Should I Go? by The Clash. What a song, I was hooked, and Combat Rock was purchased with my paper run money the following Saturday. The first of hundreds of albums bought.

​

We all have our own tastes and the reviews that I will write will be mine. I am not saying I am right, it’s just my opinion and some of the albums will take me back to a certain time or experience. I may not even write much about the actual album, if at all, just what was happening and what I thought.

​

Two hundred words is not much but then who wants to read a 5,000-word analysis of Robson & Jerome’s debut album. Even if I tell you nothing and waffle about something else, I will mark out of ten and recommend a track to stream, because as my daughter informs me no one listens to whole albums anymore.

I am not a musician I do not know what a snare drum sounds like or what a Fairlight does, this is just me expressing my love of music.

​

It may be an undisputed classic, a new release or something that you have never heard of, but I may have always loved it, or hated it.

​

If you have an album, you would like me to listen to go to my Contact Page and send me an email or a DM on Twitter and I will give it a listen if I can get it on a certain well know fruit named streaming site and I will review.  Do not tell me what you think so I am not influenced, and we can agree or disagree, no jazz please! Plus do not ask me to review your band as you are way more talented than me and I do not want to offend if I do not like. However, I am happy to retweet anything you are releasing. The plan is to release two reviews a week so I will let you know if you send me a request.

I can guarantee each review will average 200 words. Hopefully concise, snappy, and debatable. Thanks for reading and hopefully we can all find new music that we like.
