New Tom Vek still sounds like classic Tom Vek. Buy ‘You’ll Stay’ from iTunes.
AU are amazing. Nialler9 alerted me to them in February and ‘Solid Gold’ has been one of my most played tracks of the year so far. It’s taken from the album Both Lights, an 11-track collection that will excite and reaffirm your love of music. ‘OJ’ condenses the energy of [Read more]
Yeah, they do look like Best Friends in this video. They featured here at the beginning of April, and ‘Witches’ is taken from the Sheffield band’s recent release, the Throwing Up EP, which I’ve had on repeat all this month.
