Resonant. Tender. Understated. The natural kinship between Euan Blackman and the Kazimier Stockroom is impossible to miss – their handcrafted harmony made for something quietly magical on the night of October 23rd.  The Stockroom’s exposed brick and limited capacity allows for a rare, standing-only intimacy, making it a haven for the city’s creative undercurrent. Constantly reinventing itself, the Kaz dedicates itself to amplifying new talent and celebrating authenticity ov

Jeen marks her return to the music industry with her eighth major solo project ‘For The Romance’ , a short, but powerful thirteen minute EP that refuses to neatly be placed into one genre. Transcending rock, pop, punk and indie, the record is a whirlwind of sound and emotion, demonstrating the Canadian songwriters' impressive ability to be versatile, but deeply personal at the same time.  The lead single, ‘Look What You Did’  is instantly reminiscent of an 80’s synth pop tra

Following the recent release of their debut single ‘Coffee Cups’ , the five-piece George and the Jungle headed to the Kazimier Stockroom for a night of funk-infused fun. Based in Liverpool, this band combines groovy basslines with punctuated saxophone solos in their infectious live performances.  Photo Credit: @florintein The night kicked off with the 8-piece band P.S.M  merging sonic layers of violin, tuba, flute, and breathy enchanting vocals, reminiscent of the chaos of B

From Norwegian artist Silje Espevik  comes the voice of Yndling , a layered blend of Dream-pop, Shoegaze, and dark Triphop. With her third album ‘Time, Time, Time (I’m in the Palm of your Hand)’  released this November in two parts, one focussing on a classic shoegaze style and the other prioritising experimentation, Yndling’s sonic soundscape is vast and all-encompassing. The track ‘You Know I Hate it (How the World Moves on)’  features on the second half of this album, sho

Tucked inside the University of Liverpool’s Guild of Students, an electric atmosphere was present from the opening track, ‘ Something’s Wrong ’, when he emerged from a smoke-filled st

Falkirk quintet Brògeal have become the modern day troubadours of Celtic Folk music, instilling the community spirit of small Scottish and Irish towns in cities across the UK and bringing the cross-generational music traditions to a whole new modern audience. Their debut album 'Tuesday Paper Club' is filled with uplifting, singalong tracks that blend their Celtic origins with the jangly tones of northern 00s Indie and the gritty punch of modern Post-Punk. It's hard hitting

Celeste has never sounded more majestic and enthralling than on her new album ‘Woman Of Faces’ . We thought nothing could make those nine songs feel even more impactful until we got the chance to see her performing at them at her intimate album launch show at The Dome , Liverpool.  Photo Credit: Paul Lang From the opening notes of the soulful ballad ‘This Is Who I Am’ the entire room was locked in, hanging on Celeste’s every word. This track was the perfect opening, introdu

There are very few objective truths in life and I can’t attempt to give one about the meaning of life, or the existence of God, but there is one that I can say with absolute impunity. No song ever has been made worse by the addition of a brass section.  St Paul and the Broken Bones  seem to have been living by this since 2011, swaggering from low-lit streets in New Orleans to glittering speakeasies with little but a trombone and some cigarette stained vocals. Or at least this
