From the very beginning, Deadletter felt like a band destined for something big. I remember hearing “Pop Culture Connoisseur” (2021) on the radio for the first time and immediately sounded massive, fully formed, already epic. And when I first saw them live (the Lexington, 2022) comparisons floated through my mind: is this what would happen […]
Album review: Joe Bonamassa & various artists: ‘B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100’
One of the most striking aspects of this 32-track project is the sheer scale and prestige of its guest list. It is not simply impressive, it is generational, panoramic, and historically meaningful. The album brings together world-class artists from different eras of blues, rock, soul, and rhythm & blues, creating a musical bridge between past, […]
Album Review: Thisisevilpete – Zombiesongs pt. 1
Zombie Songs Part 1 unfolds as a focused, atmospheric journey through a post-apocalyptic landscape, part narrative, part emotional excavation. With its stark production, intense pacing, and vividly symbolic imagery, the album feels like a walk across the ruins of humanity, guided by a singular artistic vision. The music blends elements of trash metal (main), black […]

Album Review: The Pretty Wild | zero.point.genesis
Las Vegas duo, The Pretty Wild, are an incredibly interesting presence in the contemporary music landscape. Their blend of heavy sound, powerful and vivid lyricism, and constant shifts in mood creates an artistic identity where excess becomes a strength—where more truly is better. Wide dynamic excursions, an expansive sonic palette, vocal transformations, and a continuous […]
Connor Selby – The Truth Comes Out Eventually (Album Review)
Released: August 29 2025 Publisher: Provogue Blues / Blues Rock If I had to summarise my first impression of this album in a single word, it would be “fresh.” Despite the blues being a timeless genre, there’s always a risk of falling into nostalgia, vintage stylings, or familiar clichés. Yet this album avoids all that—it […]

Why This Release Matters — and Deserves Your Ears: This album is a true anthem to creative and artistic freedom — a full expression of an artistic vision that refuses to be confined by cliques, instead making exploration and cross-genre blending its very […]
Chaos Reigns Interview and Sweet Violence EP review.
I’m Billy I’m the bassist/songwriter and backing vocals I’m Jason the vocalist and lyricist for Chaos Reigns. So we actually got the name from the horror movie ‘The Antichrist’ at the moment where William Dafoe’s character looks up and says “Chaos Reigns” in a very demonic voice and that’s pretty much where we got the […]
Nerys John (The Beautiful Darkness) – Victim (single review).
Nerys John is a musician from Ross-on-Wye and has hit the music scene as The Beautiful Darkness. With a refined voice she appears to have the ability to cross genres but, for now, and ahead of an album release Nerys has released a single, Victim, a bit of pop-rock. “Inspired by the artistry of Suede, […]
New Model Army – Unbroken, album review.
Released January 26th on earMUSIC. Back in December I sent the FRAME Editor a message asking if he would like the Elvana gig in Cardiff covered? A month later my chickens come home to roost and I read a message that says “You still up for Elvana, I’m dropping them a note? Added onto that […]
