Homebound – ‘Permanence’

We’ve all dreamed about travelling back in time. Whether a Biff Tannen-esque voyage into the past to amend one’s own financial destiny or the age-old fantasy of imparting the wisdom of adulthood to our younger selves, “What would you do if you could change history?” is a question that

Dreamcatcher – ‘Future Paradise’

Swindon based emo-rockers Dreamcatcher have released a 3-track EP titled ‘Future Paradise’. Not to be confused with the melodic metal band from Leeds, or the atmospheric alt pop quartet form Maryland; the 5 guys create a strung out moody mix of emo indie rock. The title track eases into the
