My latest choice cut once again comes from a band featuring a man for whom we are amazed there are enough hours in the day to cater for all the various projects in which he is involved… Michael Smyth, something of a fairly ubiquitous figure on the Belfast scene, seems to have been in more bands than some of us have had pints on a Saturday night, but as if that wasn’t enough to keep him busy he is one of the hardest working promoters and press agents we know, constantly bombarding our inbox with details of bright shiny new acts to attract our magpie-like attention to such things…

It’s crazy to think that some of the great songs on classic rock are approaching the age where they would be picking up their bus pass and heading down to the post office to draw out the week’s pension. Yet somehow these songs still excite generations of rock music fans, with kids still finding the likes of Zeppelin and Motörhead in their parents (or grandparents) music collections and rocking out!

It seems that the aptly named Time Rift are one such band, who emerged in the dark times of 2020 to bring us life and comfort with their debut album ‘Eternal Rock’ and are here again with the much anticipated follow up, ‘In Flight’. The seatbelt light is lit, so it’s time for me to buckle up and experience this Time Rift Sensation!

Monk’s latest selection is something a little bit extra special as it comes from one of the (less than a) handful of who sing in their beautiful native language of Welsh. ‘Cuddio Tu Ôl Y Llen’ (which translates into heathen English as ‘Hiding Behind The Curtain’) is the lead track to be lifted from the Cardiff-based sextet’s upcoming second album, ‘Y Dwylo Uwchben’.

To say that twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor are fascinated, obsessed if not haunted by death, and are wrapped up in its darkly cold embrace, would perhaps be the singular biggest understatement of the year so far, as the latest album from this Canadian darkened shoegaze/post-punk drone project is all about the subject – not in the macabre, violent, or outrageous sense, but as you or I might know it: a spectre lurking around the corner, capricious, indiscriminate, unexpected, ordinary, and all the more terrifying for it.
