Read MoreThe more I explored Hannah Diamond’s music, the more I realised that it was the sincerity behind the cutesy sound and style that set Diamond apart from her peers, creating this uncanny valley effect that is both superficial and achingly real. In a world where irony and cynicism are all too prevalent, the sincerity of her lyrics feels oddly refreshing. Perfect Picture picks apart the layers in the Photoshopped world of Miss HD and allows us to see her as she really is.
Read MoreFollowing the release of their swaggering and introspective new album Reason Enough, London four-piece Crows have embarked on a highly anticipated European tour.

Read MoreDot to Dot Festival 2022 has done it again. Held yearly in Bristol and Nottingham, Dot to Dot is a must for any music fan’s calendar. The festival showcases some of the best up and coming artists in different venues across the two cities over one weekend and always delivers without fail; not just the cream of the crop from the plethora of the current musical talent available spanning a multitude of genres, but also always managing to bring the sunshine with it to both cities, along with a buzzing, positive atmosphere.

Read MoreThis April feels like a gateway to what (we hope) will be a long-missed summer of live music and events. Parks have been filled with more people than we remember lived in the city, and beer, football and barbecues are a thing again. Still, that doesn’t stop us wanting to cram into dark, sweaty venues to get our ears around the most exciting musical talent we could find!

The Everyday’s Music Section had the great pleasure of going along to hear them. Inclusive, dynamic and brimming with industry wisdom, all three talks left us inspired and enlightened.
