An anthemic call to arms, this title track from North Coast four piece 'Little Arcadia's latest EP is proof that the weight of expectation on a band isn't necessarily always a bad thing.
A slow building, hook heavy affair, 'Anywhere Else' see's all the potential this young group have steadily polished since their early days bloom into one hell of a chorus, made all the better with some poetic...
It's with heavy hearts that today the Northern Irish music scene must face a future without two of it's strongest alternative rock outfits. Sadly both More Than Conquerors and Serotonin have decided to move on, leaving behind a collection of great EP's, singles and countless memories.
It was Serotonin, of course, who famously brought back the spirit of punk last April, defying an unfortunate s...
Tonight Encore NI found ourselves in Belfast's Voodoo for another full line-up of riffs, distortion and heavy rock courtesy of Hidden Machine. The reason?

Is it wrong to review a show you've put on yourself? Quite possibly, but after the success of our collaboration with the Oh Yeah Centre for Gay Pride we felt it'd be unfair not to...
Opening proceedings came Jealous of the Birds, a remarkable songwriter who's came out of nowhere to entrance venues across Belfast with every show. Throughout her performance she sounds relaxed and confident, bree...
This was a performance excluding their new double a-side release 'decay' and 'six'; arguably two of Northern Ireland's best indie records ever. Though perhaps we shouldn't be surprised.
