Resident Records has been keeping music lovers in Brighton happy since  2004 and was opened with love in an attempt to give music buyers of the town a record store with soul.

Single Review : Mike Tyler – Money Grows On Your Knees

April 16, 2013 Competitions, Reviews, Single 9 Comments

Not Yin and Yang but Wham and Bam!”, there’s clearly a different level of eccentricity involved. … Continue Reading
