Eves The Behaviour review: ‘TV’

The video to the single is in itself interesting as it looks like it partially set in a hospital, and dramatic scenes are definitely worth the watch alone.

Max Raptor and Hildamay @The Venue, Derby 15/3/2012
My first time into the derby-based music venue, ironically called The Venue and there’s two bands on tonight and from what I can gather there’s a lot of hype about them. Hildamay, who have been on the music scene since 2008, and all that can be said was that the crowd reaction was absolutely huge and not surprisingly these guys just sounded awesome. Everything about them was just fresh from the vocals to the bass and their sheer energy on-stage. From what I’ve heard Hildamay have definitely got what it takes to seriously hit the big time.
Burton-on-Trent’s own Max Raptor co-stole the entire show and all I can say is that these guys are just incredible and have lots of raw energy and oozed masses of adrenaline. They sounded like complete pro’s and not surprisingly everyone still wanted a piece of them even after the show. Seriously, the locals of Burton should be proud of this lot, you’ve got one incredible band on your hands. The guys show some serious power when they’re in front of an entire crowd.

The Singles Review
The Last Shadow Puppets
“Bad Habits”
An amazing hit tune courtesy of Alex Turner’s (Arctic Monkeys), Miles Kane’s, James Ford’s and Zach Dawes’s super group . Incredible rock tune and just can’t get enough of it and is yet another reason why these five lads are worthy of your playlist this year alone. The lyrics are catchy and the song itself is both addictive and a joy to listen to. I absolutely love this.
The Pink Slips
“Foxy Feline”
Direct from Seattle, this band have one fully energised song that can prove to be addictive listening. For anyone who likes their power/punk rock this is one for you. With the repetitive She’s a femme fatale, she’s a foxy feline, she’s a femme fatale, she’s a foxy feline going round your head a few times you’ll understand why this can be some seriously addictive listening pleasure. I’ve seen the video to this on YouTube and if the video doesn’t get your fancy, chances are the song will.
Lower Than Atlantis
“Get Over It”
For anyone who’s a fan of Brit rock and happens to love these guys get this one on your playlist now. I’ve heard this song a few times and it’s reassured my love of this band. The song is both captivating and raw and the lyrics are great. Get over this song and time soon…. I think not.

Load of Old Meat @The Maze, Nottingham 22/3/2015
The Maze played host to the official Meat Fest 15 and there was a days’ worth of music and meat to go around, and all under one roof. A lot of fresh new talent and definitely worth the entry ticket alone.
Numerous artists from both Nottingham and surrounding areas performed in every corner of the venue, and with much BBQ and new music on offer, there wasn’t too much to complain about. Playing upstairs were Harrison Rimmer and Issac Bloomfield who gave an intimate gig to small crowds of people, some of whom were lucky enough to grab a space of the sofa amidst a slightly smoky room. Brotherly duo of two names We Are Kin/The Davies Brothers and Adam Zareba put on performances in the acoustic corner put on amazing sets. Zarebra managed to pull off a trick with the infamous ‘Friends’ theme tune and made an entire room clap. The two amazing female solo artists Laura Allison and Lauren April gave off flawless performances.
Remaining downstairs Same Streets, Creatin’ Havoc, Billy Reynolds and Green Hill Zone kept the atmosphere going and everyone rocking with both rock and bass, the smell of sweat, adrenaline was in the air and there was buckets of energy going around. It was official headliners of the night Our Saving Day who helped finish the night and showed people how to rock the Nottingham way.
The Singles Review
Maroon 5
“This Summer’s Gonna Hurt…”
This is one amazing single and is one of the reasons why you remember why you loved Maroon 5 and after the first few seconds you’re already hooked and that’s before the first lyric. Very catchy and upbeat song and after more than a decade in music this band’s music just gets better and better and Adam Levine’s vocals are absolutely fantastic. This is definitely one for the summer playlist and one you can help but love. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing ‘This Summer’s Gonna Hurt’ from the top of your voice.
Example
“Whisky Story”
One full on energised tune, just incredible listening and you’re going to want to listen again and again. Example’s vocal are as amazing as ever and is a reminder why he’s an amazing artist in the British music scene and is just sheer proof that he just seems to get better and better. If you thought ‘Change the Way Kiss Me’, ‘Looking for Love’ were amazing then ‘Whisky Song is a move in another direction. Just stick this one your playlist and be amazed by what you hear.
TS7 ft Taylor Fowlis
“Heartlight”
This northern lass has got one of the most haunting yet soulful voice that you’re going to hear in a while, and even the bass is just spot on. The song itself is brilliant and the first lyric ‘Couldn’t escape if I wanted to’ is catchy. All the way from Liverpool and yet still unknown to many this woman’s got a catchy dance/R&B track that’s just too good to ignore. Just listen and after the first 15 seconds it wouldn’t at all be surprising if you hit the repeat button on this one.
