London. London. London.

 

It may seem at times that we’re more of a geographic fanboy blog, and less of a global representation of the new and up and coming, but it’s impossible to do our job within the realm of the existing music scene without focusing a certain amount – oftentimes a majority – of our efforts in the direction of the UK. And to speak of the burgeoning scenes pushing their way in all directions outward from Britain’s borders without a mention of ELIZA, would be a fraudulent travesty.
