Moni Jitchell’s live set-up is stark; A drumkit, twelve strings, two amps, two people, one microphone. That’s basically the sound of ‘Aware’. It’s similar to bands like ’68 or Jamie Lenman’s new ...

The war that Beartooth are winning, however, is one against the haters and the doubters as much as it is against their own demons. In the last two years since Beartooth played London, frontman Caleb ...
