LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // Viragos and The Hamilton Alpine Club (The Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle)
The world may be in a weird place, but there is nothing but good vibes in the room on this night.
INTERVIEW // Ok Hotel: On Dreams, ‘Life is Crazy’ and Relaunching
We have had a lot more time to do things. We made music videos for both the songs we released this year, which is something we might not have had enough time to do if we weren’t all locked down. With everyone on their phone a lot more we felt it was really important to make something super visual.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Thank You For The Honey, Honey’ – Teenage Dads
Not going with a more traditional slow, emotionally-driven ballad, the song is quite a fun sounding tune and creates a nice atmosphere about two friends knowing that they’re going to be drifting apart.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Holy Moly’ – Mylk
Your next drive to work will have that very hook stuck in your head, tapping away on the steering wheel until you hit play again.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Limousine Lies’ – Pirra
Limousine Lies is ready to soundtrack a coming of age movie with a high tempo and dreamy beat. This song makes me think of a fairy floss sunset after a summer day spent in the sun.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Say Goodbye’ – COTERIE
You can hear the music running through CORTERIE’s veins from a childhood immersed in a musical family. Unafraid to tackle uncomfortable topics these brothers share a tight bond that shines through their music.
INTERVIEW // MAX: On Color Vision, Rags and Inspiration
It’s new and different but I’m just trying to be present and find all of the cool things we can do now that we wouldn’t be able to do if we were touring a tonne right now.
EP REVIEW // ‘All My Friends’ – DVNA
The album is undoubtably well structured and written. Her soulful, jazzy pop blend is a mood lifting remedy even when she talks about darker themes. It takes you on a positive journey of self-discovery as we experience alongside her; first love.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Pretty Grim’ – Ruby Fields
Ultimately this song feels like an acceptance of doing what needs to be done for your own mental health, even at the cost of disappointing or alienating yourself from people who aren’t supportive of your methods
