By Keely Hill
BIRMINGHAM is a bubbling hotpot of creative
expression - honestly! Not everyone agrees with me though.
I ALWAYS support an underdog and Birmingham is just that. The naysayer, scorning Birmingham as it gradually rises up the ranks of desirable cities, does not see the hidden gems, the artistic developments, or the down to earth working man’s heroes that make this city great. Embracing its industrial history, Birmingham is taking its heritage and lovingly restoring it; places such as the vast canal network, Eastside, Southside, Digbeth and the Bond company to name but a few.
ANOTHER glorious example of the city’s industry/artistic
fusion is the Custard Factory, Digbeth. This photo shows the imposing Green Man sculpture nestled amongst off ices and shops, I half expect him to break free and saunter over to Selfridges.

HARTHEIM
AFTER an auspicious debut year, Hartheim
have set their 2015 underway with new single, ‘When Did Your Last Rose Die?’
FORMED in the decay of the SWAYS Records
Bunker with producer Martin Hurley (Money, Pins and Kult Country), it is without doubt the most lucid track the band has created so far.‘When Did Your Last Rose Die’ exists as the band’s warped attempt at a classic
love ballad. The track confronts the down-spiralling correlation between passion and age; detailing the initial throws of young, boundless lust, and the slow descent into middle-aged hatred. It is this turn that serves their manifesto of playing with the contrast of light and dark, the once glacial guitars and swirling synth lines feeling more at odds with the lyrics as the track goes on.

opinion, real TALK
DIRECTED by Alexander Bell, the video
focuses on the protagonist of the song and his various attempts to rediscover what once was, with little regard for what this might take to achieve. It is the director’s take on how far one might go to remember how things used to be. Capturing the pure essence of the track, the video features disused theme parks, hypothermia and the consecrated curse of lasting love.
2014 brought with it the endorsements of BBC 6 Music and NME, and some high-profile support slots, as they went on to score the closing soundtrack to Edinburgh Fringe Festival’s 5 star theatre production; Woyzeck. They will shortly be announcing shows in London and Manchester.

real music, real
The train arrives on platform 3,Your weekend departs for another
week,It’s all gone a bit bleak,
your doles gone, spent the lot on an 8th and a
night in the city.Stomachs like a walnut and still
half drunk,Smell a bit funky like cigarette
butts,
Getting dodgy looks walking through the station,
Can’t blame them I’m supposed to be Gods creation,
More like a resident of zombie nation.
I’m adamant I’m paranoid, it’s all in the mind,
This time I’m right,paranoia is a destroyer,
Blinded by the light, starting to sweat need to unwind,
My skin is a pale grey and my eyes dilate,
Starting to fret the security shows me the way, destination
set.
I’m now outside trying to be positive, the sun shines bright
feeling apprehensive,I’m sensitive, they all stare
and glare “Is he ill? Does he feel sick?”
Get me a taxi quick take me home for my 40 winks
My self esteem starts to sink, no job, no girlfriend, that’s
the missing link.No pretty sights for the eyes, no rose tinted glasses or a
lucky outcome for the masses.
Liam Jones
I’ve just been given a bag full of joys,
because life is a drag and the music is just background noise.
If only I knew then what I know now,
as through this life I’d so gently plough.
But hindsight is a wonderful thing,
and this bag is full of the joys of spring.

REVIEWS
The One Line Reviewer.
If Swim Deep were Australian then this is how they would sound.
The 22 year old’s strand of psychedelic beach rock is entrancing and upbeat but with heartbreaking vocals. His first EP, released early 2013, gained him recognition from some of the worlds biggest music
publications. Aside from that he is still relatively unknown, with only 420 likes on Facebook to date. The release of his second EP, Young Years, has the potential to break him out of Melbourne and into the ears of the world. Each one of the five tracks stands out
as something special. Title track Young Years is insanely catchy and is the perfect introduction to the EP. Breaking Up will have your heart aching and your feet dancing. The contrast between shoe gaze vocals and psychedelic guitar really is spectacular.
Jimmy Junk Heart - Young Years (EP)
**** (Out Now)
On Sam Smith:“Like eating a cotton pad, awfully bland and incredibly pointless.”
The CribsFor All My SistersTwo new albums have been promised by the Wakef ield lads. One full of punk and this, their take on pop.It isn’t as messy or experimental as previous records. But it still holds the same infectious ingredients that make The Cribs great. This is a landmark album too. It’s the f irst release since they parted ways with long serving record label Wichita.It may be more radio friendly than what can be expected from the punk follow up, but it’s brilliant riffs and melodies will make it popular amongst loyal Cribs fans and the unsuspecting public.
