Cures and Curses is the solo project of 22 year old South London native, Aaron Akpojaro, founded in Liverpool in 2017. This month sees the release of his third single, Owe You Nothing. Having not heard of Cures and Curses before, I visited his previous two singles, No Fun and Fall Apart, Crash Together, and if you haven’t already, I recommend blasting out these two tracks in anticipation of his new release. With each single…
As expected, the initial lockdown following the UK’s Covid-19 outbreak allowed for musicians to knuckle down and really sharpen their creative abilities.

Once again, we at Liverpool Noise have compiled a Spotify…

Clearly fighting to make their mark on the table…
Well Blues, it’s not been bad at all, has it? 4 games into the Premier League season and we’re flying, quite literally, as high as can be, but being Evertonians, we aren’t delusional to think ‘its our year’. Sure, don’t get me wrong I’m as confident as the next person to believe we can finish as high as we ever have since the inception of the league in 1992, but, as I’ve said, we’re 4…

Paint Me In Colour have bowled us away with their debut EP Labels Opinions & Preconceptions. If there’s anything this 7-track EP shouldn’t have, it’s labels and preconceptions. Whilst they’ve officially been around since 2017, mostly writing and recording in their own studio, you’d be forgiven for not having already heard of this Liverpool 3-piece group. Since the release of their first two singles Feel It & 1968, which both eventually featured in the EP, they’ve been tucked away ensuring they…

Singer/songwriter Howard Doupé has been working alongside Idlewild’s Rod Jones to create an 11 track debut album. Entitled Everything’s Wrong, But It’s Alright, the album is set for release in late October. Lead track Midnight Fears is a psychedelic flurry of off-kilter grooves and claustrophobic inertia. Recorded and produced by Jones at Post Electric Studio over the…
