My Exclusive Interview With Killy Myne
With over 3,000 Spotify streams on "Burn in Hell" alone, Killy Myne is a rising star in the dream pop genre. Her current discography is small, but she's already crafted a dark image and a haunting sound that mark her as an artist to watch. I reached out to her for an email interview, and if you're a fan of modern slowcore and dreamy bedroom pop, her responses provide an intriguing look at the process behind these soon-to-be-viral singles.

A review of "Diana/No Encores in a Swan Song" by Blind Channel
Blind Channel is one of my favourite bands. I discovered them during Eurovision 2021, and the rest was history. At the time, I was falling a bit out of love with the whole rock/metal scene, so discovering them was a breath of fresh air for me and reignited my interest in these genres.

Ich Bien Ein Ausländer (I Am A Foreigner)
Ich Bien Ein Ausländer (I Am A Foreigner) is a song by the band Pop will eat itself. This phrase is repeated throughout and is and is an essential part of this powerful song. This contains a lot of German phrases but is essentially a review of this powerful song and why it’s words should be listed too.

Aaron Lee Tasjan:
By Brian D'Ambrosio The title of Aaron Lee Tasjan’s new album, Get Over It, Underdog  (due out July 17th), lands with a wink. It sounds like something muttered after a hard knock, equal parts encouragement and resignation. That mix of humor, resilience, and self-awareness runs throughout one of the most rewarding records of Tasjan’s career, a collection that explores the many meanings of being an underdog while celebrating the oddballs, originals, and unlikely heroes who keep finding reasons to carry on.

Thorne Empire's Musical Aphorisms
Some songs tell stories. Others deliver warnings. Thorne Empire’s collection of aphorism inspired songs lives in the space between music and observation, turning familiar sayings, uncomfortable truths, and everyday frustrations into powerful reflections on human behavior. These songs are not simply built around catchy phrases; they examine the consequences behind them. Each track takes a phrase people have heard for years and asks a deeper question: What happens when we ignore the lesson hidden inside the words?

Oasis Is Genius!
Let's take a look at the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, and just why they are the best that BritPop had to offer. Maybe someone of you are celebrating England's advance in the World Cup to the Group of 16. Maybe some of you are fans and have taken the time to either go to the games, or watch the videos I've seen of Brits singing along to Oasis' ''Wonderwall''. It is always a joy to see how one song can unite so many people, even if you don't feel like anybody feels the way you do...today...

The Put Down (You Got A Lotta Nerve To Say That You're My Friend). Content Warning.
Introduction I am not sure what prompted this, and I don't normally do pieces that are maybe negative towards others, but a line from Doctor John Cooper Clarke came to mind, that reminded me of a Graham Parker song that reminded my of the Bob Dylan song where almost every line is a vicious put down.

Where Words Fail Music Speaks
"Where words fail, music speaks" we've all heard this quote and some of us have that tattooed on our wrists or arms to remind us. Yet how do lyrics in songs mean so much? It would be the same if it was poety would it not? isn't that basically what lyrics are just poetry. of course, one may argue that classical music can influence emotions, which can be hard to reach without the music. Even in movies, if we change the background music, the whole scene shifts and feels different evoking different emotions throughout the movie. That I understand that "music speaks louder than words" or "where word fail music speaks".

Matthew Stevens and the Many Meanings of Sound
By Brian D’Ambrosio For guitarist and composer Matthew Stevens, instrumental music is not a fixed statement but an invitation. It leaves room for listeners to bring themselves into the experience, carrying their own memories, moods, and interpretations into the music. That philosophy lies at the heart of Matthew Stevens, the Grammy-winning musician’s new self-titled release, a richly textured collection that feels both deeply personal and deliberately open-ended.

Strangely Groovy
Introduction In the story below Caroline Jane did an Oliver Twist and asked for more. This is it. I wasn't to sure how to write something new and interesting about music. Caroline and I are fans of Nigel Blackwell and Half Man Half Biscuit, so I will try to include something from them in here but I hope that everyone discovers at least one thing they didn't know when they read this piece.
