Spirit Bomb – ‘Tight’ (Music-Records)

Spirit Bomb – ‘Tight’ (Music-Records)

Posted by | Sep 20, 2021 | ,

Born in Marseilles, France, in 2015, Spirit Bomb is the brainchild of illustrator Pierre ‘Gotto’ Lorem and guitarist Arnaud Duquesne who wanted to make music and art combine in their own creation. Pierre created five characters, bombs no less, whose journey to save the world from crashing into a brick wall may or may not be in vain. There’s even a comic with the album that tells the tale as the tracks lead through the story. Unsurprisingly then, ‘Tight’ will be a treat for the Comic-Con nerds, a fantasy-laced journey to get lost in.

Florence Black – ‘Weight Of The World’ (Self-Released)

The Tydfil trio that are Florence Black have never lacked confidence in their performance nor ability to write banging songs.  Tristan Thomas (vocals, lead guitar), Jordan (Foz) Evans and Perry “Perks” Davies caught David O’Neill’s attention (and subsequently many hours of his time and money) back at Steelhouse in 2015 as a trio of teenagers! The swagger that these guys had back then was incredible to see….

It had been an eternity. Well, it seemed like it. But, in fact, it had been a few days short of a year. It just seemed like longer… well, everything has during the Covid era, hasn’t it? But here were Monk and DQ, at long last, venturing forth from the dark depths of ÜRHQ and into the bright sunlight of a Saturday afternoon for some much-missed live music – and an all-too-rare moment of sunshine in the midst of the gloom that still surrounds life here in this particular corner of the Überverse…

As the rays of light at the end of the dark tunnel that has been the past 18 months of isolation and generally being shit upon from great heights grow brighter by the day, and life starts to return to some sense of normality, a healthy slew of new music, perhaps more than at any other time in ÜR’s history, continues to ping itself our way, and especially in the continuing tsunami of submissions we receive for our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ award… Yes, as we’ve said on multiple occasions, one constant throughout the vagaries of inconsistent and often hard to stomach lockdowns is the amazing level of adaptive creativity that bands and video directors the length and breadth of the Überverse have continued to show, often in the most adverse of circumstances.

Well, with a few exceptions, the pathway out of the dark tunnel that has been the past 18 months finally seems to be getting clearer day by day, as we slowly take those vital steps back to at least a semblance of the normality we enjoyed before the pandemic wrecked chaos on our collective and individual lives. Yes, there are still some restrictions in place in some parts of the Über Kingdom, but the signs are increasingly positive, not least in terms of the summer festival season being up-and-running again, and the light on the horizon is growing ever brighter – and it’s not just ‘cos we’re being blessed with a rare (occasionally) sunny summer!
