Reviews


Burn the Whole Place Down (2009)


Energetic and fresh-sounding acoustic reworkings of old material on latest album from London-based country/blues outfit, Hey Negrita


You Can Kick (2008)


Superb third album from London-based country/blues band Hey Negrita, which, despite its often bleak subject matter and recorded at the end of a particularly turbulent time in the group’s career, proves to be ultimately an album of fun and defiant hope


Rope (2008)


Stunning new single from Americana group Hey Negrita, who having survived significant line-up changes have their third album out later this year

Surprisingly disappointing latest single from their 'The Buzz Above' from London-based Americana/blues rockers, Hey Negrita

Impressive latest EP from London-based Americana/blues outfit Hey Negrita , which is drawn from their just released second album 'The Buzz Above'

Melancholic, but powerful and rewarding second album from outstanding London-based Americana /blues outfit Hey Negrita

Dark, but rewarding new single from London-based bluesy Americana outfit Hey Negrita, which precludes their forthcoming second album


Old Britannia (2005)


Excellent latest single from darkly humorous London-based blues-influenced American group Hey Negrita


Devil In My Shoes (2005)


Refreshingly free of self-pity autobiographical rock from Dylan-inspired former heroin addict Felix Bechfolsheimer's new band Hey Negrita
