“Did anyone used to go to Rev?” “Is Cheesy Pop still a thing?” You can tell what bands went to Glasgow uni tonight!

From the outset, ‘Shake Those Demons’ does not hold back in displaying the direction it is heading. “I can be a dream or I can be nightmare,” sings vocalist Deborah over sharp bursts of synth, one of the band’s male vocalist then steps in taking over the remaining verse and the track continues in thisContinue reading “The Insomniac Project – ‘Shake Those Demons’”

The Insomniac Project – ‘Parallels’

‘Parallels’ is the glossy new single from Glaswegian synth pop newcomers, The Insomniac Project.
