Live Review: The Mocking Jays at Radfest 2019

So on Saturday the 22nd The Mocking Jays headlined Radfest and spoiler alert. It was incredible.

It was their second show without George and my first show without George. The fill-in is actually Ed from Distant Blue and all I’m going to say is it was amazing! I was very sceptical because I absolutely adore TMJ and I do adore Distant Blue as well, but I was worried that it wouldn't sound the same, but it actually sounded better (RIP George). The way that Jay and Ed's vocals complemented each other, and the fact that Ed's voice is slightly rougher just added some more depth to the songs, even in songs like Close To You and Tears In Summer, they gained a lot more depth audibly because of Ed's vocals. I honestly loved their set so much more than I anticipated, I always enjoy TMJ sets but with Ed being there it just added so much to the band! It could well possibly be the best TMJ set I've heard.

They opened with Funny Bones and closed with I Can't Be (Without Your Love) and in between played all the solid bops like Kiss My Neck, Sex On The Beach and Close To You.

It was such an amazing set, and I mean Jay was proper enjoying himself on stage, climbing up things and everything... honestly. It was an amazing set and I did really enjoy it, and it makes me very excited to see them again although that won't be until October. It was such a good show though, and I really do like Ed performing with the band and I hope to see that again at some point as it was amazing.

The boys in the band never disappoint, and it was just incredible. They just seemed to have more depth in the songs at the show, and I really did enjoy it.

Out of 5 lemons?
I'd have to give it a solid 5 out of 5 sparkly lemons because it really was just that good!

What's Left For Us? by All Over Again

Welcome/welcome back to another blog post! Today I'm talking about All Over Again, who are a Nottingham alt-rock band! We all know, that I love alt-rock and I love Notts bands! I'm very enthusiastic about bands from my city, so I was more than happy to do some coverage on this EP when I got an email asking if I'd be willing to do a post about it. So, here we are. All Over Again released an EP yesterday (30th April), and I'm going to be talking about my thoughts on the tracks! The first track on the EP is, Breathe Me In which was the first track released from the EP. It starts off quite slow, but it builds up, and I love that. Grace has a beautiful voice, and I love that there are tempo changes throughout the song, because at this point, anybody that's read my reviews before, knows that's the one thing that makes me fall in love with a track. I think this is such an incredible track, it's beautiful, I love everything about this track, I think it's incr

Loughborough to Lichfield by Next Year

Welcome/welcome back to the blog! Today we're going to be talking about Next Year's latest release Loughborough to Lichfield, which was released last Friday (April 30th). Now, I have worked with Next Year before. I reviewed Long Way Home back when that dropped last year. This is the follow-up single to said release, and because of how much I loved Long Way Home, I was apprehensive about hearing this track, just because I've loved everything they've put out previously, so it's that moment of "Is this going to be as good as, worse or better than the rest of the discography?". However, upon listening to it, it was clear to see that this was living up to expectations. It has a loud, anthemic intro, it's not overly long, and it managed to keep my attention for the intro, which is essential to me. I need the start and end of any release to grab my attention to leave a decent impression. So, yeah, I was pretty impressed with the intro, it was very classic po
