AAAmusic logo

The Tenebrous Liar returns to the fray with Run Run Run, their latest release on the wilfully independent TV Records.

A desolate road through a remote mountainous pass, in an indeterminate location, is the ominous cover image of Run Run Run. The highway is leading to an uncertain destination, as the darkening sky presages forbidding storms ahead. As ever, The Tenebrous Liar front man Steve Gullick’s black and white photography captures perfectly the atmosphere of [...]

The Whigs @ Borderline

the-whigs-picture

London, 15th December

The Whigs have been around for a while, yet there is something about them that reminds me of new bands. Perhaps is due to the fact that they toured with the likes of Kings Of Leon and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club or their ‘at ease’ attitude, which makes them accessible yet not exploited (yet).

Despite the cold weather, The Borderline is pretty full tonight. As soon as the first notes kick in it is clear that these guys will [...]
