Simon Todd, Half Empty/Half Full. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Life is one of perspective, what we might see as an opportunity, another might be concerned of the pitfall laying out of sight, the weary of the supposed haunted house, and the embracing of discovery of hidden rooms filled with secrets, perspective is a Half Empty/Half Full glass which is forgotten by many to mean that it can be refilled to the brim once more; a lesson perfectly illustrated by Simon Todd in his eagerly awaited new album, Half Empty/Half Full.

Evelyn Laurie, A Little Bit Of Me. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It could be argued that today we share too much of ourselves, that we find ways to harm our souls by shedding our skins in the wrong place, we find solace in being able to be comforted by strangers, that we seek validation from those who do not care for our welfare or for the stories we want to impart.

Mat Walklate, Sea Of Blues. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Somewhere along the line we have found a way to be believe that polished beyond the point of recognition is to be lauded as the ultimate form of expression, that the deep rumble of an old recording, one with jumps and scratches, of moments of tin driven sound and supposed lack of fireworks, is the only way in which to hear the beat of another person’s mind.

Sue Hedges, I’ll Come For You. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

There is nothing wrong with a wonderfully observed scare, it all depends on the delivery, the resonance of feeling in which it is felt, and should the story be conveyed by the surrounding of a joyful tune, one that without words would take on a completely different meaning, then so much the better.

Third Man Phenomenon, Creatures Of Dark Habits. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

We cannot but help to embrace the creatures of bad habits, we cheer secretly on the enigmatic bad guy taunting the hero on the large screen, we take to our hearts the bad boy and girl with the rough name in the neighbourhood, and why, because it adds the glimmer of excitement to our lives. We are involved in the storyline of Frankenstein, not because we are turned on by science and innovations, but because we want to see the creature created by the Doctor’s passion, live.

Bohemian Rhapsody. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Rami Malek, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, Lucy Boynton, Mike Myers, Aiden Gillen, Tom Hollander, Allen Leech, Aaron McCusker, Max Bennett, Jess Rodomska, Ace Bhatti, Dickie Beau, Dermot Murphy, Meneka Das, Neil Fox-Roberts.

Queen can be viewed in two different ways, there will be those who champion the band, who see the band and revel in the music created, the uniqueness, the harmony of expression, the explosion of personality and the dedication to craft songs and albums in which nobody has been able to come close to capturing the vibe of since; then there will be those who see them as one of the architects of overhype, of being part of all that was perhaps wrong with rock, of destructive traits, of having a leading man who allowed his demons and desires to get in the way of making music.
