Sniffing out the best new music
Lemon Power return to the release fold in 2026 with the buccaneering and roaming 'Tanger' - a single whose theme is firmly rooted in the sounds associated with the city of Tangier. I remember interviewing an old 1970s London rock and roller called Johnny Johnson a few years ago (JJ and the Flyers) about his... Continue Reading →
Who knew 2026 would begin with a huge blast of noise. It's a blast of noise that hits absolutely perfectly we may add. It comes from a Norwegian trio called Poor Bambi and is the perfect vessel to set the scene for the year. I mean, this track came to our attention a few days... Continue Reading →
I've been in Austria sightseeing in Vienna, visiting the winter markets and experienced the famous Vienna zoo for the first time - truly exceptional place and if I was a zoo-expert, I would safely assume it's one of the finest zoo's on the continent.

Charm of Finches return with the second single from their upcoming fourth full length album ‘Marlinchen in the Snow’ and this time they do so with the backing of a major label. Behind the tongue in cheek music video (which leans into some light familial poisoning) there is a heartfelt sentiment of inadequacy, comparison and... Continue Reading →
A very early contender for our album of the year was released yesterday by London-based WORRYWORRY via FolkBoy Records : a carefully curated 10-song record titled Worried about Worrying which fuses together artistry in its highest form, pained lyrical honesty and just sheer heart-wrenching beauty. An album for those looking for a little escape from... Continue Reading →
It's been quite a while since I sat down and opened up the reliable old WordPress. I'd nearly got so far as thinking that these days were totally behind me as sad as it sounds : when you are in the heat of battle with life and navigating the ups and downs of the music... Continue Reading →
Photo: Jess Licata A personal favourite musician of mine and hands down one of the most intelligent individuals I've interviewed at Sound Sniffer - warner case - is launching his own record label 'Top Right Records' on July 28th.
