Tue 15 April 2025 11:08, UK Trying to find one’s voice is a difficult task. Even if you have dreamed of becoming a songwriter for the majority of your life, actually putting pen to paper and writing those songs can be a challenging thing. For many, it can be a journey too tough to take on. There’s no doubt that after Stevie Nicks began to see her worth within the confines of Fleetwood Mac, she emerged as one of the great songwriters of the age.

Tue 15 April 2025 9:49, UK During their career, The Beatles were famed for being one of the more unifying bands around, managing to bring together a whole nation to support their noble musical conquests.

Fri 11 April 2025 8:49, UK One of the undoubted legends of golden age rock and roll, Jim Morrison led the counter-culture group The Doors with a fearsome wit, a rebellious attitude, and a singing voice often overlooked for its gravel tone and smooth corners. He was a tempestuous character both on and off stage, with some of his more deplorable actions leaving the frontman in an often problematic space.

This realisation, in a clichéd world, is attributed to being in love as “suddenly all of the love songs make sense,” says every rom-com protagonist ever created. However, sometimes it can be derived from a far simpler source, like the discovery of an artist who will “join up the dots”.

Mon 7 April 2025 14:25, UK As a founding member of New York’s finest new wave band Blondie, Clem Burke transferred the frenetic energy of punk and the slinky sounds of new wave to create some of the best rock songs in history. While his role in the punk revolution is known in some circles, Clem Burke’s name is often overlooked, usually mentioned only after Debbie Harry and Chris Stein.

Fri 4 April 2025 17:48, UK There aren’t many outfits in the world of music that are seemingly immovable from the pinnacle of rock. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and, of course, Led Zeppelin rank as perhaps the only bands who deserve such a position. To be considered a steadfast and reliable set of hands in the world of rock music is to always deliver and rarely offer a misstep when it comes to what they create.
