Ones taste in music can change drastically over a prolonged period of time. Certain artists or bands that were once favoured can become a mere afterthought in your personal music directory given a change in preference of genre or just due to sheer realisation. All music fans can recall listening to some pretty questionable music throughout their childhood. Yet certain recordings will stay with you forever. Albums that are simply timeless. Albums that have an emotional effect on you as a listener. Albums that are just truly iconic. So without further a do, the following list consists of my personal top 20 albums of all time, at the time of writing, of course. As anyone would find when compiling a similar list, it is pretty difficult to narrow down so many outstanding compilations, therefore I have included some honorable mentions that didn't quite make the cut: LCD Soundsytem- Sound Of Silver The XX- xx Jamie T- Panic Prevention Kanye West- Late Registration Wolf Alice- Your L...

In this day and age, it is becoming worryingly more common for talented guitar bands to slip under the radar as a variety of other genres become increasingly more popular. Although the genre might appear to be on its knees, there are a handful of bands currently flying the flag for guitar bands up and down the country, however, not to the extent that was seen 10 or 20 years ago.

The kind of bands that you stumble across on Spotify when at a loose end and wonder why they're not 10 times as popular as they are. The kind of bands that have you hooked after 30 seconds of one song. The kind of bands that make you want a book a ticket to one of their shows imminently. A prime example being Southend four-piece- Asylums. Consisting of Luke Branch on vocals and guitar, Jazz Miell on guitar, Michael Webster on bass and Henry Tyler on drums, Asylums are responsible for writin...

Although initially starting this blog with the idea of writing predominantly about up and coming bands and allowing them to reach a wider audience in the process, it is near impossible to ignore the sheer talent and beautiful sound of Scottish singer songwriter- Gerry Cinnamon. Thanks due in part to my weekly release radar on Spotify, I stumbled across arguably Cinnamon's best song 'Sometimes'. I have been hooked ever since, playing the song on repeat, alongside many other songs from his simply outstanding recently released debut album- Erratic Cinematic. I was amazed at how much I related to the  heartfelt lyrics of coming of age song 'Sometimes', and I believe there are masses of  other 20 year old lads that would too. Also taking notice to the raw singer/songwriter vibe, gritty Scottish vocals and passionate meaning behind each song, this is when I knew I'd found an absolute treasure in Gerry Cinnamon. Cinnamon, born in Castlemilk, Glasgow, has always ...
