Songs of the Month

It’s rather hard to believe that we’re already into December, with the momentous year of 2014 almost behind us.  This year’s been exceptionally good music-wise, and this month’s produced lots of great tunes as well.  Here’s a few of my favourites I’ve added to my iTunes this month: CHVRCHES – “Dead Air” A band that’s come to be one of my favourites in the short space of a year, yet again they’ve released a fantastic new track – this time featuring in the new Hunger — Read more →
