Dan Walsh, Trio. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

A solitary person can still wield influence if their message is pure and will resound with those who seek information from outside the echo bubble that contains the multitude as they sip from the same continuous well of obligated agreement.

A lone figure will always be noticed in a way that a cast of thousands cannot, only becoming a random sea of faces and quickly dismissed from the mind. The story is more direct, and yet add into the equation what mysteries a Trio can attest to, what genius can lay in that power of three, unbreakable, linked by mutual stimulus. A Trio is one that captures the imagination and sees the world for what it is, a place where the charismatic can prosper, especially if their message is one of intense collaboration.

Dan Walsh, Verging On The Perpendicular. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

A life without care is something we all dream of, to play the instrument closest to our hearts and woo the world with it. It is the life we should have, it is the life we were perhaps promised as we sat in classes dominated by the old school guard of thrown blackboard erasers and pulled ears, that we were the fortunate ones because the future was going to be rosy, that the coming of the new century was going to see Humanity rise in such a way that many old ideas were going to finally be obsolete. Nothing is ever that straight forward, everything is always going off at a tangent; that we are always Verging on the Perpendicular.

Caves, One. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

If you can listen to the Caves’ new E.P., One, and not feel the pulse, the sensation of something that grips the attention and the raw emotion that is stamped throughout the three tracks, then there is no hope for you. The pothole that you poked your head over and scanned the musical horizon briefly may just be too comfortable for you too ever leave.

Caves, Gig Review. Zanzibar, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

To a generation born in the 1970s or before, Sunday afternoons were always consigned to the part of the week labelled most dull, it was the time of the week that came after the fun and revelry of a Saturday night and the near horror of an ever encroaching Monday. It was time for a walk to somewhere there was never open, for people to have a Sunday nap after dinner with the family or if they were really fortunate, being asked to do something in the garden or even painting the window frames.
