Puppet Rebellion
Since launching in 2013; the indie group hailing from Manchester, UK, have released two EPs, the invigorating ‘Chemical Friends’ and the recent ‘No Means Yes’, which follows in its predecessor’s footsteps with their signature liveliness.Commencing the EP is “Pirouette”, a rocking number where pointed lyricism takes center stage as a duplicitous paramour is placed in the crosshairs of some well executed barbs as the narrator declares his intentions to “escape” as powerful guitar riffs abound. The softly melodic “Cupboards Painted Red” is accented with evocative vocals that charge the song with poignant electricity and lyrics which echo forth with haunting clarity.
“Loner in Disguise” is a call to action for the younger
generation to take accountability for their role in their destiny. The
sentiments are expressed with piercing earnest, striking further truths with melodious
splendor. “Green Eyed Monster” picks things up with a frenzied energy that
pulses through with furious instrumentation.
‘No Means Yes’ concludes with a retooling of the title track from the band’s debut EP. “Chemical Friends” returns as a transformative remix courtesy of Cai Caslavinieri, featuring electro strokes of futuristic beats. Their latest demonstrates Puppet Rebellion’s knack to rock, write and zealously innovate.

Wullae Wright
From Glasgow, Scotland; musician Wullae Wright melds together indie starkness with a rock vibe and a folksy mentality for his album, ‘The Orange Line’. Wright conveys a reticence and vulnerability with his unique style of musical storytelling.The song “UFO” kicks off ‘The Orange Line’, beginning with a serenely mellow flavor that’s instrumentation is rich and textured with various sounds. It never stays in one melodic destination too long though before venturing to various soundscapes throughout its journey. The echoing sentiment “you cry out” reverberates throughout the song’s 8 minute run time with a resonance that coils around the heart of the song.
“A Stage with Your Own Fears” is wily and free flowing with
a vocal arrangement that pushes any sort of convention. The intrinsic tune
“Roadtrippin’” evolves into a thrashing vocal experience that envelops an
enthusiastic aggression throughout its core.
“Nostalgic” is a broody and simplistically measured study in the emotional yearnings of nostalgia, Wright keeps the song bare, honing the essentials. “A Story of a Wall” is an alternative endeavor and expressive in overall sound.
Throughout Wright’s work he captures a raw, idiosyncratic, musical dynamism that is worth sonic exploration.
