Bands often come together after former disparate musical journeys end, and the impetus to start afresh brings like-minded souls instinctively together. Such as it was with London four-piece beat-folk-psych’ers The See See. Richard Olson (The Eighteenth Day Of May), Kevin Peyok (Waxwings), and Ben Swank (Soledad Brothers) are joined by […]

Gloucestershire has a new mod revival-inspired band by the name of The Q. The four-piece (Shane on drums, Rob on bass, Mike on guitar/vocals, and Tim also on guitar/vocals) deal in melodic, catchy power-pop very much in the mod tradition of The Jam, The Chords and Secret Affair. Their song […]
