The actions of evil men defy comprehension to the overwhelmingly vast majority of the world, but their deeds have far reaching ramifications, and far beyond what any reasonable person could ever understand, or expected to ever even tolerate, let alone be afraid, terrified of just living life.

Lions In The Street: Moving Along. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

If you can use a title of a James Cagney film within your own band name, then it is surely to be assured that the ignition point of delivery is set high and is always on point.

Lions In The Street come roaring out from the studio fully loaded with their album Moving Along in their arsenal, the quivers full of pride, and the swagger of the music rampaging through the long grass with full and frank effect.

Sarah Blasko: I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

What others may perceive as a hill to get over is for many something greater, an entity that looms large and with all the reverence of pedestal in which the most celebrated are often found to be placed upon and which is arguably a presence to which if achieved when scaled is a monument to human persistence and glory.

It might not be Mount Kosciuszko, the image of Everest doesn’t loom large over the project, Mont Blanc and Ben Nevis are nowhere to be seen, but as Sarah Blasko steps once more out of the studio and armed with all the necessary equipment proclaims with honesty and determination, I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain.

Agatha All Along. Television Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Patti LuPone, Debra Jo Rupp, Aubrey Plaza, David A Payton, Okwui Okpokwasili, Paul Adelstein, Abel Lysenko.

For many the House of Stan, the world of Marvel, has rightly been criticised for some of its output since the magnificent and overwhelming end to the Infinity saga, the damage done from the weight of expectation perhaps has been more defining than just how intelligent and interlocked the previous decade had been.

Garfunkel & Garfunkel: Father And Son. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

To spend time with your father, or that to whom you see as a surrogate dad, whatever the influence and relationship, as you create a project together is to be upheld as arguably one of the most important rites of passages to go through as a person. The subtle gesture of sharing a dream, of you both prepared to give it all as your own personalities are merged and agreed upon in collaboration love for the other, and for the experience that you hope to gain as time finds a way to showcase the event in memory.

Eddie 9 Volt: Saratoga. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The cooler the story, the harder it is to top it, so rapt could the audience be in the tale that was spoken with elegance and rising temperature that they, as people are found wanting to do, cling to the moment of ecstasy they found with a vice like grip; never believing that that the moment can get higher, that the battery of illumination can allow the light to shine even brighter.

TV Pins: Aircutter. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

To cut through the air with a sound that captures the imagination of the listener on first go takes some serious effort, it is a sign of intensive and positive care for the music created and placing not just a stamp down on the offering, but causing an impact that leaves a sizeable hole that is near impossible to fill by others who seek the same domination of spirit.

Wendy James: Gig Review. Rough Trade Records, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The show must always go on, the dedication to the cause despite all that life may casually throw at you must continue unabashed and with sincerity be held up for all to witness; for you never know who you may inspire with just a simple acknowledgement of your time in the spotlight despite all that has happened, and how your life is one of creative cool.
