Compilation Review: Reverse Play: C86 Re(dis)covered by Various Artists (fadeawayradiate records)

Amsterdam based Estella Rosa, the owner of the fadeawayradiate blog and vocalist for Nah! is one of those people whose musical knowledge is all consuming. If "I" had her musical knowledge I would be inclined to run around the most densely populated cities of the world, dressed in nothing more than a green flashing cod-piece, screaming 'ooooooh look at me I know lots about music', whilst only briefly pausing outside various vinyl shops to deliver derisory snorts to customers who purchases were not cool.

Album Review - The Catherines by The Catherines (2018) (Mondo Canape Records)

A band with the name The Catherines whose chosen album art is a black and white 1960's photograph of a quintessentially British looking lady, appearing to look a tad resigned and wistful  (it is generally the same aesthetic for much their album art and videos) really should mean the band is a) a bit British b) does all things pretty and c) is female fronted. They should really sound like The Sundays. Then all would be well in the musical universe as all rules would be observed.
