Maren Morris Has Found Someone To Carry Her Through: Herself

Country-pop staple Maren Morris is kickstarting her fourth album cycle with a single crammed with proud belts, reassurance and nothing but raw emotion.

Just like ‘80’s Mercedes’ the latest single from Maren Morris opens with a striking piano melody, although the subject matter couldn’t be any different. While her 2016 car-themed anthem discusses how dependable her motor is, ‘Carry Me Through’ sees her taking the wheel, betting on herself and no-one else.

They Really Are ‘Like No Other’ - Overpass At Manchester Gorilla

A week into their Spring 2025 tour, Midlands four piece Overpass returned to Manchester for a headline show at Gorilla and they did not disappoint. Following the release of their recent EP ‘Dependent’, the rising indie-rock band have taken to the stage and successfully translated their music from the studio to live shows - and they’ve done it really well. 

The night kicked off with support from Joe Chandler and Balancing Act, both of which were perfect openers to build the excitement amongst the crowd for Overpass. The 30 minute sets from each artist set the tone for the night and built up a strong atmosphere for the Birmingham headliners to come out to. 

Gengahr’s Intimate 10-year Celebrations Are Sweet Yet Confident

In celebration of ‘A Dream Outside’, Gengahr bring the dream inside, to KU Stockton, where they play their entire debut and take us back to 2015, when they were impressively curious newcomers, and likely leaving many wondering how it's already been decade.

Supporting the band tonight is Alice Costelloe, whose presence is cozy and full of smiles to her audience, and to her drummer and keyboardist, Matty and Jono. Costelloe soothingly strums a cream-coloured Fender and plays an eight-track set, her voice beautiful as she plays tracks from her 2024 EP, ‘When It’s the Time’, including the title track and ‘I Never Dance’, as well as her 2023 track, ‘Badmouth’.
