MUSIC
VAMALA by Champs are siblings Michael and David Champion who hail from the lsle of White. This album is the successor to last year’s debut releases, Down Like Gold. Opening with hunting vocals and a similar piano backing, desire is certainly an accurate representation of a record that is anything but commercial pop. The melodies throughout the album are enchanting though, with running moving along in a pleasant manner. Music of Mice & Men Restoring Force Forever Be Upstanding At The Door is based on a quaint acoustic guitar piece, while the mid-tempo 3000 Miles is engrossing from the first listen. The title track is also worthy of note, whilst Blood shimmers beautifully both in the chiming guitars and shining vocal performance. It is unlikely that Vamala will receive wide exposure and mainstream success, but anyone who takes the time to investigate the release will find a collection of mature and organic pop songs that are well crafted and enticing.

DELUXE EDITION

By Of Mice And Men are back with a deluxe version of their recent album that provides four additional songs, including an acoustic version of Feels Like Forever. The album begins with Public Service Announcement and shows how the band is in a state of transition. The double kick at the beginning of Bones Exposed and the catchy guitar riffs instantly draws listeners in. the chaos is combined with a personal feel which sums up the collection as a whole as the band really explorers both
themselves and their music in this, their best album yet. The first of the brand new songs on Restoring Force: Full Circle is Broken Generation. This again bounces back into the rockier ethos. Something To Hide is another purely emotional Song, lingering more on anger and betrayal. Never Giving Up echoes the same theme and tells the story of never giving up on someone that needs help. It shows how pure and consistent the band is with putting their heart and soul into what they write.
