We are covering some serious distance at the blog this week, with a variety of sounds from a variety of places. First up, a true heavymetalkids.uk favourite from an undisclosed location somewhere in the UK… Ironic Hill – Bad Stuff (self-released) Following hot on the heels of the cathartic sigh of his self-titled debut album,Continue reading “Life In The Jangle Is Hard…”

Violent Change – s/t

When a couple of weeks later one of the coolest people I know mentioned them to me I knew it was time to properly explore their gritty, vital back catalogue.
