In the last month or so I have fallen deeply in love with Meadowlark. From listening to their album ready for review, to travelling to Guildford for a live show, my thoughts on this band have gone from "yeah they're cool" to "omg I just can't stop talking about them". Having been sent their Nocturnes … Continue reading Meadowlark || VH Reviews

COMMON PEOPLE 2017 || VH Festival Review
I was lucky enough to get press for Common People festival again this year, and much like last time, my favourite part of the day was The Uncommon Stage. Local bands were full of raw passion and the atmosphere in that tent was just unshakable. Read the full review here: http://vulturehound.co.uk/2017/06/common-people-2017-southampton-festival-review/ My top three acts … Continue reading COMMON PEOPLE 2017 || VH Festival Review
Fazerdaze – Morningside || VH Album Review
If you read my post about the Tashaki Miyaki album, you might remember that I mentioned another dream pop album that I received on the same day. Well, I can finally share it with you! I fell in love with Morningside by Fazerdaze instantly, and was incredibly happy to be able to listen to it … Continue reading Fazerdaze – Morningside || VH Album Review
Jen Gloeckner – VINE || VH Album Review
I recently reviewed Jen Gloeckner's new album VINE for Vulture Hound and was fortunate enough to be sent a free copy of the record on vinyl, which clearly made me very happy. My thoughts on the album are a little complex, there were days I loved it, and other days where I just wasn't too … Continue reading Jen Gloeckner – VINE || VH Album Review
Meadowlark – Postcards || VH Track of the Day
Not too long ago, I was introduced to Meadowlark, a Bristol based duo with a sweet pop sound steeped in emotion. Having recently announced the upcoming release of their debut album (30th June), I took to Vulture Hound to feature the title track, 'Postcards' as Track of the Day. It is a single that spoke … Continue reading Meadowlark – Postcards || VH Track of the Day
Tashaki Miyaki – The Dream || VH Album Review
It has been a while since I've connected to an album as strongly as I did with Tashaki Miyaki's debut LP, The Dream. As soon as this album was put forward to the Vulture Hound team for review, I just had to take it. Dream pop? Shoegaze? Yes please. That's my thing. Even one of … Continue reading Tashaki Miyaki – The Dream || VH Album Review
Bruno Major – Second Time || VH Track of the Day
Just a few days ago I was introduced to Bruno Major, a songwriter with smooth vocals and brooding rhythms. I was immediately captivated and knew I had to feature him on Vulture Hound straight away. Having been sent a promo to his latest single (as part of a monthly series), I set out to put … Continue reading Bruno Major – Second Time || VH Track of the Day
Meadowlark – Nocturnes || VH Album Review
Following my review of Leif Vollebekk's latest album, Stay Loose PR asked me to check out another band on their roster. This time it was Bristol based duo Meadowlark with their latest EP, Nocturnes. I think it's safe to say I was hooked immediately. The aim with Nocturnes was to produce alternate versions of the … Continue reading Meadowlark – Nocturnes || VH Album Review
Kings of Leon – Because of the Times || VH 10 Albums at 10 (#6)
I recently wrote a retrospective review of Kings of Leon's third album Because of the Times, as part of Vulture Hound's 10 Albums at 10 series. As you can probably guess it takes a look at ten albums from ten years ago, my choice being a Kings of Leon classic, with the likes of 'Knocked … Continue reading Kings of Leon – Because of the Times || VH 10 Albums at 10 (#6)
Leif Vollebekk – Twin Solitude || VH Album Review
It's always nice to get a little recognition from a PR, to the point that they come directly to you in regards to reviewing one of their artists. It's just the kind of ego boost that every writer needs. So when Ellie from Stay Loose sent me over Leif Vollebekk's latest album Twin Solitude, I … Continue reading Leif Vollebekk – Twin Solitude || VH Album Review
