Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders + Alex Cameron @ The Brightside, 15.05.2015
There are two things you learn in each and every Jack Ladder review. The first is that his real name is Tim Rogers, while the second is a line or two that compares his voice to Nick Cave. It’s strange because listening to the new album I’m reminded far more of David Sylvian, and even […]
