Single Review: Movies by the Qs

07/04/23 - Movies release day. 

The Q’s released their latest single today called Movies. I was given the opportunity to be able to write it up and give my thoughts. I’ve known the Q’s for a few months and they seem really lovely. This single is their 3rd single out and oh boy you’re all in for a real treat. 

I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it. “Mixing the anthemic sounds of late 90’s, early 2000’s Alternative Rock and their own Post-Punk oriented energy, THE Q’s have developed a sound that is both recognisable and catchy.” It got me head hopping and toe tapping almost instantly. It hit the spot and is a fab single. Everything goes together well and it truly shows off this bands talent as well. Perfect track to stick on and hit that repeat button anytime of the day.

This single is going to be a real success and I can’t wait to have it on repeat for the foreseeable. This single will be added into my “ones to watch” playlist on Spotify. I will also be checking out the Q’s in more depth and hopefully I’ll get out to see them live too. They’re from London, but now are based in Leeds. I’m just a few hours away from Leeds so will 100% make that trip. May even bring my camera along for the ride too. 

Movies can be found on all major streaming platforms and The Q’s can be found on social media @theqsuk

Single Review: Chequered by Hollows

 24/02/23 - Chequered release day.

Today marks the release day of Chequered, which is the latest single by Hollows. I knew I'd love this song as much as I love the lads and had to give it a review. This review will feel more like an essay, but it'll be great I promise.

Background.

I have plenty of history with this band. Hollows are my band sent from heaven above. I found them on the 6th anniversary of the tragic deaths of Viola Beach. I believe to this day over a year later that this band was given to me by them. Hollows look after me more than any other band on this planet, after every single show I'm reminded about "3 rings and a text" and I cannot forget all the "life advice" either. If they didn't care about me like they do, they wouldn't go out of their way to look after me wherever we go. I've literally followed these guys all over the country pretty much and even chased them into Wales with my camera not far behind. I love this band with my entire heart and I'm 100% here for the long term, just like my tattoos show. I will never not be a dedicated annoying pest who doubles up as a mate at the same time.

Chequered

When I heard this song I already knew what it all sounded like as I have indeed heard it live a good few times at previous shows. I instantly fell in love with this song, there's just something about it that I can relate to. Maybe it's because this song is a song about heartbreak, I've had plenty of that in my life from shitty people in general to awful Tinder dates!! (Undateable? Yes). The track is still like their older stuff, but still unique in its own little way. The track has its own personality and gives off a positive vibe, just like the lads do anyway. Whoever listens to this track will never get bored of it. I will never get bored of it that's for sure. I will make sure to put it in my "Ones to watch" Spotify playlist that Hollows actually feature quite a few times, they are ones to watch very closely. I can't wait to see them go off and I can't wait to be there every single step of the way.

Chequered is available on all major streaming platforms and Hollows can be found at @HollowsUK
