“Slop-pop. Like a lazy, half-arsed version of someone like The Vaccines or Howler” is what Joe Allan, a surf-pop singer/songwriter from Newcastle Upon Tyne calls himself. ”I’ve got some great ideas, all I need now is some money and some fellow music people to help me do them justice and put them into practice.” Joe Allan makes fuzzy beach-pop pieces of noise, [...]

Today, I am going to talk about a successful musician from Essex. Now, you may think that there is nothing particularly original, innovative or special about that.

I first stumbled upon A Band Called Quinn through BBC Serial Drama, Lip Service. Described by Scottish pop pundit Jim Gellatly as ‘Scotland’s Best Kept Secret’, this Glaswegian quartet, consisting of Louise Quinn, Bal Cooke, Robert Henderson and Steven Westwater, produce a unique, fun brand of electro, indie pop that blurs the boundaries between music, [...]
