The Welcome Wagon - Purity Of Heart Is To Will One Thing
The Welcome Wagon are likely to need an introduction for many of you - they aren't exactly 'mainstream' here in the UK, and I'm guessing the story will be similar elsewhere. They're friends of Sufjan Stevens, signed to his…
The Rocket Summer - Of Men And Angels
The Rocket Summer, never heard of them I hear you cry, same here. If you had heard of them, you're all the better for it I'm sure, having a head start on all of us, knowing about this talent. I'm just glad I have been given this…

We Shot The Moon - A Silver Lining
I like Coldplay. I like Athlete too. I also enjoy a bit of Snow Patrol. When I see reviews that lump these together with other modern, softly-spoken indie bands and dismiss them as boring, depressing or clean-cut, I get pretty…
Above The Golden State - The Golden Rule
Now this is a bit of a funny one. When I started listening to Above The Golden State's 'The Golden Rule', I was already kind of disappointed because I had been expecting an album and instead got a 6 track EP, so the first track…
TobyMac - Tonight
Tonight is the fourth solo release from TobyMac, who is best known for being one third of mega band DC Talk from 1989 until their departure in 2000. Now a solo singer and performer in his own right, TobyMac has moved away from…
Nathan Lee - Risk Everything
A couple of months ago I reviewed 'West Tisbury', a free piano/vocal album by Nathan Lee and I have been raving about him ever since. Needless to say, I am now trying to get my hands on every bit of his music I can, which led me…
