When approaching ‘Are You Ready To Move On?’, one must be in the right state of mind. You see, the listening experience is rather emotional, quite introspective and intimate. A slow-burn, intense gem, the track is Vassilis’ latest effort. Emerging from Manchester, the talented creative reminds us of a young Bono, especially for his precise, […]

We had quite a poignant experience listening to Guild Theory.

For the uneducated reader, the name Rodney Cromwell might sound pretty new. In reality, he’s a modern synthpop pioneer. The good kind of synthpop: we are not referring to late 80s Italo disco extravaganza, but rather to the more nuanced synth-fuelled explorations so common in the early 80s – often blinking an eye to electronica […]

Upon hearing ‘Can’t Help But Check My Phone’, we were positively surprised. You see, there’s a strong crooning quality in Easton’s vocals.
