Bands: Vice Squad, The Insane, The Expelled, Chaos UK, The Expelled and many more Album: RIOT CITY: COMPLETE SINGLES COLLECTION – THE SOUND OF UK 82
4 CDs – 119 songs – 4 hr 44 min What: “Brings together every single side released by Bristol punk label Radio City,
plus the 1982 Riotous Assembly compilation album as a bonus.”
NME says: “The star follows up her career-high ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell!’ with another stunning album, one the aches with meditations on fame and romance… It’s a reminder that, more than just being influenced by the likes of Joan Baez and Stevie Nicks, she’s now on a par with them. Lana Del Rey is at the peak of her game – just don’t expect her to come down anytime soon.” Score: 5/5.
Band: BLACK HONEY Who: Stupendous indie rockers from Brighton, England
led by the charismatic Izzy Baxter Phillips Album: WRITTEN & DIRECTED – 2nd LP
NMEsays: “The Brighton band’s follow-up finds them coming into their own and, like any great movie, offsets hard-hitting scenes with more tender moments… If Brighton’s Black Honey have always had a touch of the cinematic about them, then ‘Written And Directed’ finds them going blockbuster. Bigger and bolder than their self-titled 2018 debut, their second album has its teeth bared and snarling, ready to soundtrack frontwoman Izzy B. Phillips’ reckoning with those around her, the patriarchy and herself… ‘Written And Directed’ is a thrilling step up from a band quietly coming into their own. Score: 4/5.
After their highly praised self-titled debut album Brighton’s ambitious indie rockers BLACK HONEY – formed in 2014 – led by natural cool born frontwoman Izzy B. Phillips return with sickly sticky jingle ‘BEACHES‘. Again this most thrilling and multifaceted
combo mixes pop and rock into a 3-minute glittering melting pot.
New ripper BEACHES is “a cheeky twisted collage of all things weird, set to a playground
clapping song. It’s all eye rolls, punk gigs & girls in polka dot bikinis. A nonsense filled retro world I wanna disappear into at times like these.” says charismatic frontwomen Izzy B. Phillips
BEACHES is a solid gold holiday anthem. Frisky fun for 24-hour-beach-party-people.
Surf pop rapture for this strange summer will never forget due to that pain-in-the-ass virus.
Clap along, swing and shake along while keeping distance and go gaga…
