Music Review: 22 Degrees & Sunny - Wolforna

 22/06/23 - 22 Degrees & Sunny is released.

I have again been given the pleasure of writing another review for the fantastic band Wolforna. I have been allowed to listen to their latest single 22 Degrees & Sunny.
A brief background on Wolforna. Hailing from Leeds, they have had a few fantastic singles in the past, they are going to go far in the music scene and are on my ones-to-watch list. "Their signature sound combines classic rhythm guitar sensibilities and melodic harmonies with a super-tight rhythm section underpinning it all. Yet here, on possibly their hardest-hitting track to date, ‘22 Degrees & Sunny’ asserts itself as another step in a heavier direction for the lads."

My thoughts on this single are nothing but good. I really loved the previous single that I wrote up called "Reset", which can be found on this site and can still be viewed. I gave it a few listens on repeat whilst writing and honestly, I just love it. The single is pretty heavy and gives a true feeling of rock. This track could be listened to all day every day, it brings you in and hooks you from the moment you listen. This is one for the playlists and definitely one for all you rock music fans!!

I love Wolforna, I think they're a great band and I really need to get out and see them at a gig one day. They've supported some really cool artists and I will be buying those tickets!! And so should you, the reader.

22 Degrees & Sunny can be found on all major streaming platforms. Wolforna can be found on socials @WolfornaUK (image 2 credit: Nathan Towers)

Music Review: Problems with Living by Tiny Forehead

 16/06/23 - Problems with Living - Tiny Forehead

I recently had contact with Tiny Forehead, a band based in Boston UK. They are a 5 piece garage band. I was given access to a recently released EP, decided to listen to all the tracks, and gave my thoughts on it. It is small with only 3 tracks. It was released in November 2022 followed up by the latest single “I Always Knew” in February 2023 on streaming. All via Six Miles Under records via distributor Horus Music. Tiny Forehead have built their sound by taking inspiration from various waves such as 60's Garage, 70's UK Punk, 80's Post Punk, Northern Soul, Surf and Indie, a great mix of genres to listen to.

Tiny Forehead have a quirky sound and no two songs are the same. Each have its own uniqueness to it, which I really liked. After a few listens I found myself pretty hooked. The sound is very different to what I am used to. It took a few tries to really grasp and get into it, but if you like the sound then this is 100% for you. When you are presented with music that is a little different, you have to not let your personal preference override anything to keep everything fair. I really had to listen to this EP several times to make sure that I was feeling every single component in each track. It happened, once the barrier was lifted all 3 tracks grew on me and sounded better and better after each loop, which saw me reaching for the volume button. I have to admit I love being handed different music, it can spark absolutely anything within the mind. With that, I encourage anyone who comes across this blog post to give the ep a chance and to give the band as a whole a chance, go stream their music, and go and see them. I say this with every band, they all deserve a chance from someone. I have this feeling they could go places and do really well from what I have heard. Problems with living sounds fantastic and I hope it gets to reach its target audience and gain a few new supporters along the way.
