He spans the decades of alternative, cool indie and punk hits. Support comes from one of the best upcoming indie bands in the area.

Currently one of the hottest tickets on both sides of the Atlantic, The Dead South will return to the UK for a 15 date tour in January and February 2019.

What I love about Reef are that they, to us who hail from the West Country, are ‘locals dun good’. Hailing from Glastonbury and Barnstaple they always seem very happy to be back. Maybe it’s the scones? Maybe the clean air? I’m not sure, but I can guess that whatever else draws them back, the reaction from the crowd must be one bloody good reason.

California music legends Tower of Power - the most dynamic and distinctive band of survivors in soul music – have announced they will continue their milestone 50th anniversary celebrations with three very special UK shows in May 2019.

We caught them at The Cavern in Exeter, read on to see how the evening unfolded….

The Cabarats bring a new musical experience to the Southwest, combining traditional Balkan and Middle Eastern sounds with lively reggae and ska. Using an eclectic collection of intriguing instrumental performances from Dan Lotoczko on the accordion and keys and Leo James on the Oud, Flugelhorn, Guitar and Clarinet. The rhythm section consists of Jake Leonard-Williams and Rich Palmer who provide the gentle background for the distinctive instruments to develop a stunning palette of sound which is completed by the cheeky, crystal clear voice of Shelley Polaine.

On the 26th of October 2018, the supergroup known as BLOODBATH released their 5th studio album The Arrow of Satan is Drawn after an entire 4 YEARS in the making!!

This was going to be the first time I had seen Arrested Development, so I went to tonight’s show at Exeter’s Phoenix a little sceptical as to the outcome. For me, they were renowned for a couple of tracks in the early 90’s, mainly Everyday People and Mr Wendel, I’ll admit now that I was unfamiliar with any of their other material and was alarmed to find out that they have released 12 albums since 1992! Armed with this information, I took my seat on the balcony and waited for the evening to unfold….

UK 2019 HEADLINE TOUR SELLING OUT FAST

“I wake up every morning and say this is fucking crazy”, commented the North Shields artist Sam Fender, bringing his socially aware lyrics combined with his rock and roll guitar riffs to a packed out Thekla in the heart of Bristol. With just a year in the limelight, Fender’s music career has gained momentum at a RAPID rate. Feeling trapped in his home town, he turned to his guitar for a chance to escape, now he writes songs about ‘life on the fringes’ and raises questions about current social issues.

As Ramblin’ Rose screeches to its triumphant conclusion, Marcus & Wayne take great joy in informing the Bristol crowd that it is now time to… “Kick Out The Jams Motherfuckers!” The audience erupts once more and the front rows are bouncing to the visible delight of Wayne.
