Nils Lassen delivers hypnotic beauty on “Under Your Spell”. The new single is his first release of the year, following an album that was released last year in collaboration with Bo Hr Hansen.The dreamy new single, for me, reminded me of those laid-back Arctic Monkeys songs, with plenty of breezy instrumentation and harsh, almost spoken-word vocals. “Under Your Spell” offers the listener a delightful blend of indie rock, art pop and lo-fi textures that are just designed to scratch that itch in your mind…. adreamy, hypnotic art-rock cut that blends indie textures with psychedelic depth and calm intensity.The layered instrumentation…
Jeff Fasano photoAt 77 years young, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame vocalist is as active as ever, having released two albums: 2024’s stripped-down, acoustic Reunion and 2025’s groovy Oates, in the past two years, while regularly performing at venues all over North America. It would be a serious mistake to suggest that Oates’ music without Daryl Hall would be devoid of interest. Au contraire. For all of the duo’s platinum-selling albums, sold-out venues and many awards, they have now gone their separate ways; Hall continuing to make engaging Philly soul records, and Oates carving out his own path…

The Boo RadleysIn Spite Of Everything(Boostr Records)LP | CD | 2CD | DLOut nowThe Boo Radleys’ ninth album In Spite Of Everything is a hook-ridden collection of new songs which deal variously with themes of tragic loss, grieving, fractured friendships and betrayal but still comes up triumphant and resolute (melodically speaking that is) as its title attests. Martin Gray takes another delve into its multi-hued depths and finds that the killer tunes remain intact.Say what you like about the former Wirral schoolfriends-turned-unlikely-mid-90’s-popstars The Boo Radleys, and how, in the eyes of some, they’ve been all but undeservedly banished to the…
Photo: Michael SchoenfeldJerry Joseph, we are happy to tell you, returns – not that he’s been away exactly, but we have an insatiable appetite for the kind of music that Jerry Joseph makes, and so the news that there’s a new album, Panther Tracks Vol. 2, is due out July 31, 2026, is a thing to celebrate. Now, Panther Tracks Vol. 1 was released in September 2025, and so the other news, that this will be a four-volume series, perhaps hints at a Vol. 3 maybe around the turn of the year. You see how greedy we are? We make…
It’s been a number of years since we’ve attended Breaking Bands Festival and the last few years I’ve seen the line-up and went “Oooh!” But it’s always been too late to arrange due to the paid job. But this year, the stars have aligned and I’ve managed to make it happen. Really, it would be rude not to since I’m only a 35-minute drive away.It also means that it takes the place of Call of the Wild as the start of festival season for me (don’t worry, I’ll be at Lincolnshire Showground the following week!) so it’s a double-bill of…
Originally published in Uncut Take 292 (September 2021 issue)… As they approached the making of Revolver, The Beatles couldn’t have known that they’d just enjoyed their last carefree year. In 1965, they had made Help!, played Shea Stadium and visited Elvis and the Queen. Just before Christmas, as was now their habit, their second album of the year had been released. Rubber Soul still sounds like the perfectly balanced expression of a pop band with artistic ambitions, expanding their creative range without jeopardising the relationship with their vast and adoring public. The following year would be different. They started 1966…

We’ve got Silveroller tackling our “Road To” questions after doing so last year for Call of the Wild so let’s see what’s changed since then!Simple things first – where are you guys from?We’re from all over the place, which brings a great mix of people but makes getting together a little tricky sometimes! It has it’s pros and cons, but the people…
