Chris Pidsley - 'Alex's House' Single Review

Back in December, Chris recorded a live gig, and whilst it was being streamed there was the option to donate for different rewards. One of these rewards was to have a song written about you. This was purchased by one of Chris' friends - and the result is 'Alex's House'.

The indie pop song is about Alex letting him stay at hers for a few weeks when he first moved to London and was trying to find a place to live. Full of inside jokes between the two of them, the lyrics include; "I told you it was for the weekend", "Living here rent free" and "Getting in the way" to document these weeks.

Chris told me he is particularly proud of the chorus, because he hid her name in the lyrics! Every line starts with the sound of each letter spelling out Alex:

A: "Eighteen not the wisest
L: Elements of a teenage mindset

E: Easier to

X: Explain things away"

He then repeats these sounds of her name in the second part of the chorus again with different lyrics.

'Alex's House' is happy, upbeat and full of energy, with a catchy guitar solo. The whole song makes you smile and during lockdown makes you reminisce about your own friendships.

I can imagine myself and my friends blasting this song in the garden this Summer, singing along and having a dance!

You can find Chris Pidsley on Instagram, and listen to 'Alex's House' on Spotify and YouTube.

Declan McKenna Zeros Tour

Declan McKenna Zeros Tour J1, Cambridge Junction - 23rd August 2021 "Cambridge are the OG's... everyone in this room saw me busking in the street 5 years ago." Declan McKenna appreciatively told the sold out crowd on the first night of his Zeros Tour, kicking off in Cambridge last night. With the checkerboard stage set with glitter balls and confetti cannons, the atmosphere was electric! You better believe Declan was on top form wearing his glittery suit, and the set had everything that you could have asked for. This gig was a humongous deal for me as it marked my return to indoor gigs for the first time in 18 months, and I couldn't think of anyone better to do it with than Declan! He gave the crowd exactly what they wanted with a blistering start performing 'Beautiful Faces', 'Rapture' and 'Sagittarius A*' accompanied by the confetti cannons going off, making sure that the concert literally started with a bang! Declan appeared to be full of ...

My Favourite Memories from Gigs

My Favourite Memories from Gigs (All of these photos and videos were taken by me and are my own personal videos) With the news that concerts may be returning from 21st of June, I got myself some tickets booked, in the hopes that I may get to do some gig reviews! This got me thinking back to all the concerts I've been to before, so I've decided to share some of my favourite memories and experiences from gigs! 1. Remington Leith Concerning the Health and Safety Officials! I went to see Palaye Royale at Shepherd's Bush O2 Empire on the 21st February 2020. It was the most exciting concert I've ever been to, and it ended with frontman Remington Leith climbing up onto the balcony and hanging upside down! I was lucky enough to meet the band at their pop-up shop the next day, and Remington told me his mum wasn't impressed with the danger he was putting himself in! 2. Awsten Knight's Superpower On the 1st of February 2020, I had VIP tickets to see Waterparks in the Elec...

Greysha - 'Gold Glaze' Single Review

19 year old, Shropshire based singer/songwriter Greysha released 'Gold Glaze' on 20th October. A beautiful and reflective song about looking back at key events in your life. Told from the perspective of growing up it touches on lots of subjects many teenagers will recognise in themselves, not wanting to be in class, rebellious piercings, also however the more serious and poignant subjects of family and looking back at happier times. As a subscriber to her mailing list from back when I bought the CD of her previous single 'Aspirin' , Greysha said of 'Gold Glaze' on release "I have poured my soul and a little part of who I am into this" The inflection and emotion she puts into the vocals literally make you feel this is true. A track with layered harmonies and cinematic strings, you smile and you even sing along to the "Gold Glaze" part but you also feel Greysha's pain at times..."Tell the darkness to stay back another day" Gr...
