Oasis
review: Stir of Echoes demo
It looks like its still early days for Stir of Echoes on the demo front so we cannot really critique them thoroughly. Their vocals are hard to judge with rough recording but seem to have spirit. As ever with newly formed artists there is promise. It’s difficult to carve a niche in the overgrowing mass [...]
England Road to become youngest band to headline The Joiners
Formed in the summer of 2011, England Road are one of the youngest bands currently playing in the south coast.

Delays play career-spanning set at homecoming show in Southampton
Delays played a career spanning set on Saturday (October 16th) at a homecoming gig at Southampton University. Taking to the stage just after 10pm, the band played for over an hour to a packed crowd who lapped up every song, warming up a very chilly evening, eventually turning it into a sweatbox. Â All the hits [...]
