Introducing – Hannah Goodall

Are you a fan of Adele’s style of song writing? Do you enjoy listening to Carole King? Well, step this way, and let me introduce you to Hannah Goodall. On a flyer for one of her recent shows, the venue described Hannah as a ‘Young Pop Vocalist’, which is like saying Bill Gates is aContinue reading “Introducing – Hannah Goodall”

TASH – When The Lights Cut Out

TASH (aka Tara Noble) is back; heavier and more dramatic than ever. ‘When The Lights Cut Out’ is a mighty offering and is also TASH’s most progressive metal track to date.

New Divide – Delora

A new era with New Divide. Whilst many bands have made their peace with oblivion, New Divide still seem determined to put a ding in the musical universe. ‘Delora’ is their latest offering. It’s moody, expressive and totally gripping. Singer Charlotte delivers a fine vocal performance, adopting an easy-going style to convey the dark messageContinue reading “New Divide – Delora”

Towhead – Stranger in the Mirror

On a recent night out at Corporation in Sheffield I had the pleasure of listening to an excellent band called Towhead. They describe their music as Alternative rock with a Yorkshire bite, and that’s not a bad description. A lot of Yorkshire bands cash in on the dialect whilst singing in ‘Yorkshire isms’, but inContinue reading “Towhead – Stranger in the Mirror”

The Blues Emergency – The Machine

It’s classic rock Friday here at makeit-loud.com and today we have The Blues Emergency from Toronto. Their debut album ‘The Machine’ demonstrates the band’s extensive talent. Take opening track ‘Head On’, with its whiskey soaked intensity and guitar notes that are as bent as a politician. Quite an apt analogy, given the socially conscious lyricsContinue reading “The Blues Emergency – The Machine”

A Ukulele and Her Orange Coat

Do musicians choose their instruments, or do the instruments choose them? This was something I was pondering whilst watching Her Orange Coat busk in Leeds recently. A Ukulele isn’t the regular weapon of choice for high street troubadours, but in the hands of Her Orange Coat it’s remarkably effective and perfectly complements her songs. HerContinue reading “A Ukulele and Her Orange Coat”
