Just Living My Best Life (With A Side of ADHD)

Just Living My Best Life (With A Side of ADHD)

So for those of you that don’t know, I have faced a fair few challenges when it comes to mental health. I’ve had depression and anxiety since I was a teenager and have recently been diagnosed with ADHD. It’s a lot harder to diagnose in adults and took a couple of years due to moving around, but once I was diagnosed a lot of things began to make sense to me.

People often think that if you…

2020 Goals Review

Okay so, it’s been just over a year since my ‘Goals for 2019 so far’ post. I really should write these in December/January rather than March but why follow the social norms (I just have terrible time management but don’t worry about itttt).

Last year I set myself a bunch of goals in order to become a better, healthier, more organised version of myself. A lot has happened since then, and many…

Blind Eyed - Ren (Ft Sam Tompkins) Review

Blind Eyed – Ren (Ft Sam Tompkins) Review

Blind eyedis a song that has been in my mind for some time now, it is such a powerful song that I find easy to relate to. Written by artist Ren and performed with Sam Tompkins, these two are the dynamic duo of the century. Ren & Sam’s vocals are so diverse, but paired together create such a rich and raspy composition. Combining remarkable vocals, catchy melodies and raw talent to create a unique…

Slam Dunk - Wolverhampton 2014 Review

Slam Dunk – Wolverhampton 2014 Review

Slam Dunk is a well known pop-punk festival that comes around once a year. Beth and I went to Wolverhampton Civic Hall, being it’s the closest venue. Beth had no idea she was going until last minute and I think it’s fair to say she was pretty happy about it.

Slam Dunk this year had nothing on last year’s line-up, Pierce The Veil, All Time Low and Sleeping with Sirens. I’m not the biggest fan of…

Yeah Detroit – Everybody Hates EP Review (2014)

DJ – Vocals/Vocals Sean – Bass Jolo – Guitar/Vocals Stuart – Guitar/Vocals Neishy Boi MTV – Drums/Vocals

Yeah Detroit are a Scottish five-piece pop punk band formed in 2009. Normally it takes me a couple of listens to actually start to enjoy a band but ‘Yeah Detroit’ were different – after my first play through I knew they were undoubtedly great musicians. Yeah Detroit are the perfect example of…

Carrie (2013) - Film Review

Carrie (2013) – Film Review

Carrie was originally published as a novel in 1974 by novelist Stephen King. The film (1976) was written by Lawrence D. Cohen, produced by Paul Monash and directed by Brian De Palma. That original film starred Sissy Spacek, Amy Irving and the ‘one and only’ John Travolta.

Kimberly Peirce took both the film and the novel and decided to create a modern interpretation of this classic horror. She’s…

The Handmade Tale Of Lola King And The Kickstarts - Review (2014)

The Handmade Tale Of Lola King And The Kickstarts – Review (2014)

The Handmade Tale Of Lola King And The Kingstarts was released on the 24th February 2014. This is The Kickstarts first official album and so far I have not read a single bad review on it. Obviously with a new album comes a number of gigs, and I for one would happily see these guys live.

Lola King has been linked to a number of artists, namely Lily Allen and Kate Nash. This makes sense given her…

Tinkerbell & The Pirate Fairy (U) - Film Review (2014)

Tinkerbell & The Pirate Fairy (U) – Film Review (2014)

I’ve been pretty excited about going to see this, being a massive fairy fan and all. There are a few hidden flaws in this film which aren’t really noticeable unless of course you have a secret obsession with faeries. Tinkerbell and The Pirate Fairy (originally titled Quest for the Queen) features a character known as James, and him and Zarina (The Pirate Fairy) gain a bond of trust before he…

Mayday Parade @ Rescue Rooms - Gig Review (2014)

Mayday Parade @ Rescue Rooms – Gig Review (2014)

Divided By Friday are a three piece pop-punk band from Laurinburg, North Carolina playing in England for their first time. Unlike many artists Divided By Friday hung around the venue after their slot so that they could meet new fans, sign unnecessary objects and hand out some merchandise. They played a few songs off of their EP ‘Modern Memoirs’, with ‘Free Tonight’ being a personal favourite. I…

Kid Karate - Lights Out EP Review (2014)

Kid Karate – Lights Out EP Review (2014)

Kid Karate are a rock duo from Dublin, Ireland made up of Kevin Breen (Vocalist and Guitarist) and Steven Gannon (Drummer). Kid Karate have a great, full sound, and it’s often hard to keep in mind that there are only the two of them! The band have a distinctly 80’s vibe to them with a high standard of song writing, so it comes as no surprise that the reviews so far of their work have been…

Under the Influence - Interview (2014)

Under the Influence – Interview (2014)

Having recently started recording for their album “The Struggle”, and a tour scheduled this December, the band are enjoying being busy. One reviewer (Luke Davis) labelled them as “Marmitecore” (pat pending for Luke apparently, although Marmite might have something to say about that) which is a great indication of the intensity and passion of their music. Yes “Under The Influence” can polarise…

Falling Off Mapes - Honest Single Review

Falling Off Mapes – Honest Single Review

Dave Wright – vocals/guitar Dane Prewett – bass/electronics Joe Watts – guitar Tom Harrison – piano Jay Wright – drums

Falling off Maps released their debut single “Honest” on 12th August this year. “Honest” is a very contemplative soothing song and –in the right setting- could probably cure insomnia. It’s a very emotional song which can really play with a person’s mood. The sound for this track…

Eliza Doolittle - Big When I Was Little Single Review

Eliza Doolittle – Big When I Was Little Single Review

Eliza Doolittle’s latest album ‘In your hands’ is released on October 18th, and from that is the hit single ‘Big When I Was Little’. I myself am a fan of Eliza Doolittle, I admit it! Personally, I believe that ‘Big When I Was Little’ is one of her best tracks from her latest album release, competing with her interpretation of Pack-Up, hopefully the rest of the album is this good too. Shortly…

Monsters University (U) – Film Review

Monsters University proved that it really was all that it was cracked up to be when it was released in cinemas on June 21st. Many of us have waited for this impatiently for the past 12 years of our lives for this film and it was worth every single millisecond. Monsters University is a prequel of sorts, looking at how Mike and Sully went through University hating each other at first, and then a…

Arms of Atlas - EP Review

Arms of Atlas – EP Review

Arms of Atlas have gone through a couple of lineup changes, notably the drummer, but have still maintained an incredible sound, appealing to a wide variety of music fans. The band’s front man Tyler Raine sticks to his British accent to, instead of going in for a fake SoCal accent like so many bands these days. Some modern bands sound pretty poor live, relying on production in the studio too…
