Giant Killers Shares “When This Time is Over” Live at Teddy Rocks Festival
Shot live at the Teddy Rocks Festival in Dorset in May 2024, “When This Time is Over” marks Giant Killers’ first video release in 28 years. The video blends vibrant live performance footage from the main stage with intimate, candid moments featuring festival goers and friends backstage. This combination creates a nostalgic yet triumphant tribute to the power of friendship and shared experiences, all underscored by the inevitable passage of time.
The live footage was captured with special permission from the festival organizers, as the band members were initially there to perform with other groups throughout the weekend. Teddy Rocks is a unique charity event where all profits go towards supporting children with cancer, adding a layer of meaning and purpose to the performance. The positive reception of Giant Killers’ performance at the festival has set the stage for their eagerly anticipated full gig at the Shiiine On Weekender festival in November.
Teddy Rocks Festival is renowned for its mission to raise funds for children with cancer, providing a platform for musicians to come together for a cause that transcends entertainment. The festival creates a community spirit, with artists and attendees united by a shared purpose. The inclusion of Giant Killers, who performed a special one-song set, added to the festival’s unique and heartfelt atmosphere.
Following the warm reception at Teddy Rocks, Giant Killers are now gearing up for their first full gig in decades at the Shiiine On Weekender in November. This major festival appearance is highly anticipated, as fans old and new look forward to experiencing the band’s dynamic live performance once again.

Vinyl Floor’s Balancing Act Proves That Honest Rock Still Matters
“Balancing Act” by Vinyl Floor is a real treat. It is the sixth record from brothers Daniel and Thomas Charlie Pedersen sounds like it was made for right now and how they blend the ’60s and ’70s with modern elements never feels forced.
The production is clear and thoughtful. Every string, every horn, every vintage keyboard has space to exist. “Puppet Laureate” opens strong with real energy, while “The Swan of Eileen Lake” catches you off guard with folk warmth. “Adelaide” might be the best track, built on a lovely piano line with vocals that cut through cleanly. No hiding behind effects here.
The title track closes things out with the reflection the album’s been working toward. The core idea of finding hope in a fractured world could tip into despair easily, but Vinyl Floor stays honest about it. They’re not offering false comfort, but they’re not drowning either.
Progressive rock this restrained is rare. The arrangements serve the songs instead of overshadowing them. If anything, some moments could use more breathing room, but that’s small in a record made by people who clearly care about what they’re saying.
This is for anyone who wants rock that actually wrestles with real ideas. It counts for something.
