I started this back in 2008 when I was at University, and stuck with it.
I’ll only ever write about what I love. I’m not a musician, so it wouldn’t be fair for me to write about something I don’t like and pick fault at it!
Beat In My Bones comes from a line from a song by a band that I just adore (Scarlet by TwoFiftyFour.)
I work full-time, and write when I can whether it be on my lunch break or when I’m at home.
This website is for anyone who loves music, and for those who are obsessed with Punk and Garage Rock.
If you’d like me to take a listen to your music, please drop me a line at olivia_cellamare@hotmail.co.uk (Punk/Garage Rock only- it’s my passion!)
Thank you for reading.

Hey Stu,
Thank you for your message. Just sent you a message on Twitter. I changed my username on there, probably why you couldn’t find me haha π xx
Liv, you’re the best! Truly inspiring.
Seems a throwaway comment but you are one of the first writers I’ve read to openly acknowledge that ‘cool’ is meaningless. That makes me happy. There need to be more of us simply loving music for the sheer thrill of it. There just have to be. Glad to have found an ally.

Thank you so much! It is irritating when people lob the word “cool” around to describe something, it’s become a redundant way of describing anything hasn’t it. π x
It just fosters a really negative approach to culture. We end up with ‘cool’ and ‘uncool’ and all the horrid divisions that creates. Especially when people start to change their behavior to fit into this pointless box in the hope of acceptance. Ooh it makes me mad, it does. Then again, ‘the only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when youβre uncool’. We can be uncool together.
Almost Famous! One of the best lines from the film! Nothing should be labelled/divided. That’s where snobbery comes into play, and it is such a secluded way to be x
First bit of stuff I’ve found that’s worth reading for a long time. Stick with what you feel, everything else is unknown because it’s somebody else’s truth. I was looking around to find the London Grammar ‘if you wait’ lyrics and found your site. Nice stumble.
Hey Sandy, thank you for your kind words π xx
Randomly found you through your review of Lame, (after googling if any band was called Lame.) So much juice in your writing! Thanks for that.
