  • Interview with Benjamin Francis Leftwich

    benleftwichBenjamin Francis Leftwich releases his debut album ‘Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm’ this week. I first spoke to Ben in March for Goldenplec but had the opportunity to catch up with him last week, when he was just home from Glastonbury.

    How was Glastonbury?

    ‘Glastonbury was amazing, I couldn’t believe how many people turned up to my show, very very good. My main show was on the acoustic stage on Saturday and it was incredible.’

    Glastonbury is one of the highlights of the musical summer, what made it so special for you?

    ‘It was the first time I had played a festival on the main stage where the tent was rammed and it felt like one of those moments where it felt like it was really working. People were really into it and people knew the words. Just to be at Glastonbury and all the history of the festival was kinda overwhelming but it was amazing.’

  • Video: Noah And The Whale – Life is Life

    This year has been good for gigs and by far the loudest audience at a gig was when Noah and The Whale played The Academy earlier this year. Life is Life has been announced as the new single from ‘Last Night on Earth’. I love the sub bass rumble on this track, I’ve been listening to it this afternoon and decided to share. Enjoy!

  • Noah and The Whale: Live at The Academy Review

    noah and the whale 1Getting tickets for Noah and The Whale, I thought their sound was pretty inoffensive folk rock and would be a nice way to finish off the weekend as the gig was on a Sunday (May 8th). Despite good reviews of their Whelan’s show, five weeks prior, I wasn’t expecting too much.

    Exlovers had the job of warming up the growing audience with their brand of shoegaze pop. The London quintet seemed to have a little bit of an off night, admitting that they felt weezy after their ferry ride over. Long gaps between songs for tuning meant that any momentum the band built up was gone within seconds.

    They don’t have a bad sound though with nice male lead vocals backed up with a female harmony line. ‘Just a Silhouette’ just a good response but most memorable track of the night was the single ‘Blowing Kisses’. The deserve another look before passing judgement. (more…)
