Greg Felden, Made Of Strings. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We take it for granted what it means to be human, so much so that we openly embrace suggestions by the well-meaning and the devious in equal measure that we search for improvement which betrays the basic, the rudimentary source of our D.N.A. that we are a thinking, reactive and complicated collection of emotions that at times needs to express itself, to feel the pain, the pressure and the beauty in our memories.

Jack Spann, Propaganda Man. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The world turns, occasionally it wobbles, and then when we are least expecting it, it lets loose a seismic shock which is hard to shake off. Instead of waiting in anticipation for the rumble of discontent to topple us off our feet, passing the time between the political upheaval and the next wave of spin and opinionated indoctrination, we should stand shoulder to shoulder ahead of time and greet the Propaganda Man with a ready answer, one that the savages of politics will not like.

Thunderfuck & The Deadly Romantics, Dirty Sleazy Rock ‘n’ Roll. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The ability to stand against the crowd and rage is not only underrated, it is a dying art form, one in which whilst we might disagree with the point of view of the hard stare and the two fingered salute, nevertheless makes us respect that person’s passion, and makes us believe that the all war on individuality and all forms of expressions is not won, not even convincingly.

HollowBone, Faith. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is a vibe, that once heard, is difficult to dislodge, in fact, the moment it becomes part of you it gets to the point where it starts infusing itself, wrapping itself in the detail of your marrow, taking away what you once held as an enjoyment, and instead becoming a way of life.

From the scene at the now distant shore to the place in which the way of life is found to be tranquil, relaxed, a sincere type of energy captured in a realm of myths, magic and the undaunted peace of invention, HollowBone enter the fray of Cornish artistic endeavour and add to the creative flow and ingenuity to which the county is rightly famed.

Men In Black International. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * *

Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Kumail Nanjiani, Rebecca Ferguson, Rafe Spall, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Laurent Bourgeois, Larry Bourgeois, Kayvan Novak, Spencer Wilding, Mercy Harriell, Inny Clemins.

The accusation of the redundant and superfluous has long been strewn across the floor of films that have failed to keep the momentum going in terms of adventure and the single continuous thread which sees the same returning characters always at the heart of the story; it is an allegation that in many cases is unfounded, and yet for some the denunciation is deserved, fully and without concern.

Kill A Witch Or Die Trying, Theatre Review. Physical Fest 2019. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Laura Edwards, Shannon Walbrooke, Emilie Lahouel.

History recalls how the strength of women has been viewed by those with weak minds and suspect agendas, throughout time a woman’s sexuality, her power has been used against her to the point where the most base of accusations have held sway and in the minds of public opinion have condemned her to be branded many names, not least one that holds emotive historical value, that of a witch.

Lost Soul 2: Smigger’s Wrecked Head, Theatre Review. Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Jake Abraham, Gemma Brodrick, Lindzi Germain, Catherine Rice, Andrew Schofield, Bobby Schofield, Lenny Wood.

There is a clock that starts ticking in all of us at some point or another, it is inevitable, and it is folly to resist; of course, though it is fun to try. They say that women grow up quicker than men, the responsibility of the world hitting home with such force that the fun that once seemed wicked and alluring, is now but a distant memory, one still remembering the fondness of the late night fondle and chip supper, but now concerned with making sure the family that once played together, stays together.

Chris Rogers, Strange Things Happen. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Strange Things Happen when we take a chance and listen to another’s point of view, the way we might even be willing to open our minds to a different belief, perhaps even embrace it and spread the word; it is always in the unexpected place and moment when such a revelation can occur, we just have to recognise its significance when it happens.

Vee VV, Payola. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

No human being alive can lay claim to seeing the exact moment in which a star was born, we can imagine the fire, the explosion and the aftermath, but that spark, that singular new cosmic breath in which the bribe of the universe came to into being, no one can truly understand the awe in which such a twinkle of mischief resounds into a crescendo and cacophony of overwhelming universal dominance.
