NottsRocks Music Review.
Jacob D. Edward's latest single, Musings, is a great folk track that delves into the complexities of hidden love and unspoken emotions. With bluesy guitar modulations and raw, vulnerable lyrics, the song invites listeners into a world of secret desires and unexpressed feelings. Read Review / link in bio.

Sam Foster Smith's debut single Hotel Room is an anthemic indie rock banger that blends cinematic soundscapes with euphoric guitar riffs and emotionally charged lyrics. Candidly exploring themes of escapism and mental health, the track bursts with infectious hooks and festival-ready energy. Produced by Gareth Nuttall, it’s a cathartic, danceable anthem that’s sure to resonate with fans of Sam Fender, Andrew Cushin, and The K’s. Hotel Room is out on November 22nd—pre-save it now and get ready for a new indie rock anthem that’s as hopeful as it is powerful. Read Review / link in bio.

Someone's trying to convert me to punk rock, and damn it, it's working.
The latest culprit? BEASTS, the solo project of Antoine Romeo (ex-run SOFA), whose debut album "The Shearing" is a raw fusion of punk, noise, rap, and doom that'll have you grinning like a possessed punk rocker. From traditional folk chants to visceral basslines, Romeo crafts a deeply personal narrative about immigration and class war that's impossible to ignore. Available exclusively on Bandcamp and the artist's website, it's a defiant middle finger to the streaming establishment - and we're here for it. Read review / link in bio (reviews).

As the beats get nastier and the synths sleazier, you’re catapulted into a ranty yet poetically potent tirade on modern life. It’s the kind of track that makes you feel like you’ve just stumbled out of a basement rave into the middle of a street protest and then get arrested. Read review, link in bio.

When a North Notts punk musician is told he's 'too old' to make music at 38, he flips society the bird with his latest track, 'Growing Old Disgracefully.' With heavy riffs and riotous vocals, Grave Robba joins the ranks of Leonard Cohen and Debbie Harry, proving age is no barrier to creativity. As Nietzsche put it, 'Without music, life would be a mistake.' Give Grave Robba’s latest an exclusive spin and embrace the rebellion. Drops on the 5th Nov.
