The Griswolds / Be Impressive

The Griswolds are a young Sydney-based band that has been doing good music since 2012. Last year they have produced their first full album “Be Impressive”, that went pretty well “down under” and in the US. I went through it and browsed the old songs as well, and their easy going indie rock, sometimes pop […]

IBEYI2

Sashimi Review / Ibeyi

I have been wanting to write about the Ibeyi phenomenon for a long time, but I always found the power of this twin duo hard to express in words.

Only after being threatened of lawsuit by the toy producer they finally became Sugar Ray. I always appreciated their pop rock quite a lot and their biggest singles have gone […]

James Bay

James Bay / Scars

I don’t know why but everytime I hear this guy singing I wanna cry. His songs are not that sad (well, at least not all of them), but I still feel like he’s talking about me, like I can relate. Both romantic and heart breaking, he’s always deep and interesting. A real pro. James Bay […]

Since I got stuck in Italy a little longer than I expected, I might as well start off […]
