White Flowers is the debut album from this beguiling new folk duo who BrightonsFinest discovered At The Edge Of The Sea Festival. We were immediately enchanted and pleased to hear the album was going to be released so soon and launch planned at St. Laurence's Church in Falmer Village. Which is the…
Album Reviews
Fable – Parasite EP
Fable is the latest promising young talent to emerge from our Brighton shores. There isn't a lot of information on the ground about the 19 year old but, according to her facebook page, she's currently working on a début album with the trip-hop collective Archive and has been featured…
The Kooks – Listen
From the big drums and mass celebratory voices (courtesy of Behind The Force Choir, who appear sporadically throughout the album) of opening track Around Town, The Kooks comeback comes out of the starting blocks in surprising fashion. It’s an interesting amalgamation of indie and dance, hints of Primal Scream…
The Levellers – Greatest Hits
What more can you say about The Levellers, a Brighton band who last year marked their 25th anniversary with another successful year. Still ignored by large swathes of the media and uber-indie trendies, it's a remarkable fact that they are the most successful Brighton band of all time; they've…
Kate Daisy Grant – Portrait
Kate Daisy Grant's third album 'Portrait' is indeed a surprising album. It starts with the quirky but very catchy 'Six feet under', a dark tale of lost hope and the end of a relationship all to a cheery backbeat. This is followed by 'Doubt' and 'Little Bird' which tap…
The Wytches – Annabel Dream Reader
The Wytches debut album ‘Annabel Dream Reader’ really grabbed my attention like no other band since the explosion of music from the West Coast of America in the early 90's. Comparable to when I first discovered the likes of Smashing Pumpkins and Nivarna's first albums which is not surprising…
Fragile Creatures – EP
Well this has been a long time coming and well worth the wait. It has been a long time since Fragile Creatures released their first and only single 'Dear Michael' but they have been busy since then. With plenty of gigs under their belt, a stable lineup, a few trips…
Royal Blood – Royal Blood
Every now and then something comes along to shake the foundations of a dozy, flatulent and mediocre music scene. In the most unexpected way, too. Royal Blood are one of those bands – a band whose sound is so hard and heavy, fat and groovy and rammed full of the…
Luke Sital Singh – The Fire Inside
It has finally arrived! Luke Sital-Singh's début album The Fire Inside was originally scheduled for a March release, which would have come hot on the heels of his inclusion in the BBC Sound of 2014 poll, but, for undisclosed reasons, the release has been delayed until now. It's not…
Dark Horses – Hail Lucid State
Self-proclaimed dark horses, and manufacturers of sophisticated mystique and mythology, this Brighton based band are led by the waif-like Lisa Elle (Lisa Lindley-Jones). A band that have been skirting the edges for a few years now – they even supported Kasabian on a run of dates a few years…
