If you need something to lift you up out of a gloomy situation, ‘99 Red Balloons’ is your song. Infectiously upbeat synths and bouncy vocals blend into the wildly danceable classic. For those of us soon headed to […]

I grew up in a household that was vegetarian, used herbal remedies, and didn’t own a microwave. In the deepest darkest corner of rural Kent, this was seen as really weird. I, however, didn’t realise quite how wei […]

Dan Auerbach may have taken a break from The Black Keys, but in many ways, The Black Keys haven’t taken a break from him. Although he brings new formulas and ideas to the table with each of his many side-projects […]

Too is the youthfully ignorant twenty-something’s album of the decade. Not only does Too fill my “bad-butt wannabe punk” needs but FIDLAR just gets it. Case in point, ‘Leave Me Alone.’ If you’re anything like me […]

The concept album has seen a rebirth this century, with new-coming debut albums and established artists boasting albums that tell narratives or portray united concepts as a crucial aspect of their repertoire. No […]

In-stores can be fairly timid affairs. Your favourite band surrounded by hoards of CDs, stood in front of a crowd that tend to resist any sort of movement in the hope of giving their image and freshly coiffured […]

The atmosphere, the people, the amazing sound, as well as being close to the artists who create the music I love is what makes the experience of going to a gig so unique. A band I have seen many times for just […]

Vant’s ‘The Answer’ is 2 minutes and 48 seconds of blissful guitar music packed full to the brim with energy. The track is explosive. It displays multiple features found in any knock-out punk song: plenty of punch […]

Over six years ago, in a happier time when David Cameron’s face didn’t loom smugly over British politics, the Chilcot report was commissioned. The report concerned the ‘dodgy dossier’ and the subsequent Iraq war […]

For this week’s Piece Of The Week, it’s a look back into history. The Denver Art Museum has recently announced a major exhibition of female Abstract Expressionists.

Abstract Expressionism was a movement tha […]

As the second single from Darwin Deez’s forthcoming album Double Down, ‘Last Cigarette’ continues in jangling indie-pop. Darwin Deez quirkily compares the addiction of an unhealthy romance to that of the habit […]

‘Bleak Technique’ is an ace track from the Leeds-based Department M. It manages to mix electronica with indie pop, creating a very catchy and musically impressive song.

It starts with a psychedelic feel […]

We all know the drill. Perfectly placed people, meticulously positioned banners and painstakingly thought out scheduling. This entire commotion made ready for the candidate to come out, nail their speech, send the […]

Title: Dracula

Author: Bram Stoker

What I Think So Far: The book is very typical of its era, and it definitely bears no resemblance to the modern gore associated with vampires. The gentlemen are gentlemen, […]

Let’s all take a moment to jump back to circa 2006. Samuel Preston is stealing all our young hearts on Big Brother, “Boys Will Be Boys” is blasting from the radio and, essentially, we’re all a little bit head-ov […]
