There has to be a nuance in a voice or a jolt in my emotions to really connect with singer-songwriters now. Indie folk is sometimes an oversaturated and generic field, especially of late and it takes something special to stand out. Alexander Biggs has penned and delivered an opulent ballad in ‘Car Ride’. HIs delicate…

NEEDS: ‘Eat the Rich… People’s Leftovers’
The debut single from Canadian bombasts, NEEDS is nothing short of thrilling.
