New Album From Luke Roberts

Luke Roberts is a native of Nashville, who has spent years in Portland, Brooklyn, and travelling the country by greyhound, train hopping and RV.

The Return Of Tu Fawning

Tu Fawning are one of those bands that defy conventional descriptions. Following their acclaimed debut Hearts On Hold, comparisons varied wildly from Portishead to Tom Waits to the Liars and even Jay Z. What is obvious is their love and flair for both the antique and the modern, for big band jazz and crooners of the 20s, for hip hop and rap, for Hawaiian and … Continue reading The Return Of Tu Fawning

Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (17th February)

Spend £30 make … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (17th February)

More From Guy Capecelatro III

Here is another taste of migratory folk troubadour Guy Capecelatro III’s excellent new album North For The Winter. Girlfriends is the latest offering from it and it is another example of Capecelatro’s sly observation and mischievous lyrics as he ponders whether his old girlfriends still behave in the way they used to (drive their father’s fancy cars, drink peach schnapps and take their dresses off … Continue reading More From Guy Capecelatro III
