Like the instant smash hit, A Quiet Place, some films just unexpectedly come along, grab the viewer by soul, and takes them on a ride of horror driven by a unique monster so appealing that you cannot but help wonder just what the back story to their appearance on Earth actually is.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
To feel exhilaration and exhaustion in the aftermath of an album’s completion is one of the great emotional feelings that life can throw at you; to feel not only emboldened, but vitalised as the sweat and destruction of the pre-conceived ideas of how art can influence, guide, and threaten to quicken the pulse to the point where the blood pressure starts to bust machinery, is something to build belief on.

It has often been announced with a kind of venomous fury that Punk is not dead, and quite rightly this argument is replete with a straightforward acknowledgement that the issues that underpinned the anger of its origins are still with us, multiplied by the excesses and demands of a political class out of control, and yet as we look back at the simplicity of the genre at its very heart, its union with other cultures and the listener will notice there is one major force the definition makers forgot; that of the influence of the groups that not only continued after the first great wave, but thrived enough to see the latest contributions from new bands stand alongside the remarkable skills of the older and the established godparents of the time.

Whilst we might love the big number, the album that is extravagant and wonderfully excessive, the type of recording that has been poured over by each member of the band, and given to shaking the popular press into spreading the gospel according to… we might love the sensationalism that goes along with the uproar, the gossip of perception and the need to be seen not being part of the crowd, what we actually should be doing as much as possible is listening to the Undercurrents, to the sound running underneath, the truth of free flowing feelings and the depth of nuance.

“Do not go gentle into that good night…”, words written arguably by Britain’s most dominant poet of the 20th Century, and one that we must pay attention to if we are to be more than a whisper at any point of our life; and one that Scottish singer-songwriter, Oran, complies with charm and grace, and the ferocity of a sun exploding in space, in her brand new debut album, Rebellious Rebirth.

Unashamedly, unapologetically, modestly, The Cold Stares return to the music listener’s attention with an album that opens up the sense of looking at your roots, of taking the aural photograph album and dusting off the memories to find what is essentially home; the place perhaps not where you believe you have found paradise, but that world where you first cut your teeth as your family, for good or bad, instructed you on the fundamentals of life, the foundations of your time on Earth.

Time and Time again we have the opportunity to see science fiction as more than just setting stories as a gateway to romance, the inevitable conclusion that seems to drive the genre by displaying humanity as more than just a conduit, but nothing less than at times irrational.

Kalandra are a special breed of band, musicians, haunting lyrics and melodies that flow with the breeze that has combined two distinct planes of existence, one that dominates the heart and the mind, and by doing so they have understood A Frame Of Mind few of us are able to explore with certainty and belief.

In the act of ferocity, we can detect the bright spark of creation, a universe after all rarely starts with a whimper, but with a noise that should anyone be able to withstand the blast, the ignition, then the roar would be as spectacular as the light show, as the cosmic fireworks that appear to rip apart the darkness and giving all the beauty of illumination.

There are those who decry the actions of those who look inward for inspiration, using the self to campaign furiously as they focus on how to explain the world and its ever-changing fast history of fiction in a way that honours the truth, the Lessons it teaches us, and the dramas it casts shadows over. To be introspective is to have learned a life lesson, it is an unselfish act so that you might not only become a better person to friends and family, but that you could be the spark that shows others how their place in society works.
