Marsicans 


Touring around with Clean Cut Kid at the moment are this intriguing band called Marsicans! Last night they really warmed up the crowd with a few of their songs. The event was based in The Loft in Southampton which had a great intimate atmosphere about it. 

In terms of music, Marsicans have a versatile range of songs. The lead singer James has a particular charm with vocals, with a mixture of elements similar to lead singer Matt from the 1975, combined with Kieran from Circa Waves. The rest of the members include guitarist Oli, Rob on bass and keys, and finally Cale on drums, who was noticeably great at head banging! Together the band collaborate exceptionally, and seem to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle both visually and musically. 

One song in particular that seemed to have the crowd moving was 'Swimming'. This really seemed to show what the band is made of and quickly gets stuck in your head! All of the tracks had different qualities about them that made them unforgettable. Listening to them would be highly advised if you are looking for a fresh and upbeat band. Overall, definitely a band to watch out for.

Declan J Donovan

'Fallen so Young' and 'Better'

Declan J Donovan has such a charm in his voice! There is something elegant and so relaxing about it. Coming under the genre of acoustic pop, his two current songs 'Fallen so Young' and 'Better' flow particularly nicely one after the other. Pieced together with a slow guitar element, 'Fallen so Young' is great to put on when wanting to sit back after a long day. The song 'Better' is equally as beautiful, but has a bit more attitude to it. The emotion in both songs is perfect. Declan is evidentially talented with even the likes of Rita Ora showing some love for his track! Cannot wait to see more of what Declan is capable of in the future.
