Nicholas Stevenson - Demo Review

David Gibb - A Footpath of Hope for a Town in Despair

I’ll be honest, I was never a big Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly fan. Same goes for Bright Eyes, really.

awordlike: attack - Ships Hung In The Sky

Whether the outside world is aware of it or not, “post rock” is suddenly a big thing. Ever since pioneers Mogwai disowned the term, the genre has expanded to incorporate a large range of styles, to the extent where the question of it being a genre anymore is a hotly debated one.
