Obviously 4 Believers (a canny play on a Bob Dylan song title there you see readers?) are a four piece with a sound rooted in the 90’s; oddly this isn’t as bad as you would at first think. For whilst it’s a familiar path that the Lancashire based group furrow, they possess enough artistry and [...]

Whilst loitering around the back of The Cockpit, we bumped into Tim Hann, frontman of i Concur, who had just played. As we had spoken to him earlier this year, we thought we’d conduct a follow up interview.

The second single to be taken from their debut ‘Oracular Spectacular’ is easily one of the best records this year. If you thought the synth on their first single ‘Time To Pretend’ was irresistible then the floaty/flutey (tick as appropriate) melody that drives ‘Electric Feel’ will shock you into bed.

The Chiara L’s delivered a great, highly energized set to the Wardrobe venue at Live at Leeds last month. They’re a band who incorporate fizzy synth lines and choppy guitar riffs, lying somewhere between Blondie and New Order. We caught up with front woman (and provider of the band’s name) Chiara Luccini.

Admittedly, ‘Laughing All The Way To The Plank’ could indeed be “their pop song” – it’s short, to the point and catchy as hell, and definitely one of the highlights of their fantastic debut LP. But it’s the driving piano chords, singer Adam Crisp’s sharp vocals and the lyrical content that really separate the song [...]
