    Educatable, Thank You | Song Review

    When a band loses its frontman, the usual outcome is either a respectful disbandment or an ill-advised replacement. Ricky Barson chose a third, far braver path.

    barDe, What The Hell, Hey | Song Review 🎵

    BarDe’s debut single “What the Hell, Hey” is a track oozing flavour from the moment those 90s electric guitar riffs kick in. The singer from Manchester does not hold anything back here.
