Have you ever woken up one morning and thought to yourself “Enough of the pop thing already, find something louad, really really loud”? I’m calling it Thursday. And did I find the perfect player… Andy James is an awesomely talented guitarist from the U.K. He is also the best guitarist you have never heard of, [...]

Dont Tell Sophie are the latest addition to my indie pop fetish. Two CD’s and a handful of EP’s since 2005 and frankly they just keep getting better. “Sand To Glass” is the current release (they are recording a new CD at the moment) and it’s pretty cool.

To give you an idea of just how much stuff they have [...]

Hi, “Oops, we broke it” isn’t the name of a band, although I will be the first to admit that it would be a good one. No, “Oops, we broke it” is what we did. Our database fell over and it has taken a while to get it all back where it belongs. Business will [...]
