Kicking off this EP with ‘Boon Time’ is a great move by Copeland. The track starts off quiet but brings up the tempo a minute in. The echo on Copeland’s voice adds to the smoky mystique that makes this blues track just fantastic. By the second minute, Copeland takes it all the way down to …
Blank Page might only be making their debut, but the duo are already making unique songs – a not-so-simple Love Song, if you will. The pair have brushed up on their harmonies, that much is clear.

It’s not unpleasant, but required a little bit of dissection: The snare drums come in infrequently, the syncopated bells add complexity to …
The instant this record started, we could only think of one thing; Pettitt embodies Led Zeppelin. Pettitt’s singing style is highly reminiscent of 1970s folk rock, but for the modern age. In particular the track ‘Drop Out’ highlights the use prescription medication as a means of escape, with Pettitt’s flow of consciousness writing working perfectly …
