‘1963’ is probably one of New Order’s more unexpected hits, released as a B side to their 1987 summer single, ‘True Faith’. Not entirely the most cheery song, but equally not depressing either. The lyrics are […]

When you hear the term ‘one of the masters’ or ‘one of the greats’ within the visual arts, it’s safe to say that names such as Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Cézanne and so on come to mind first. These arti […]

This year’s Glastonbury Festival was one of the most glorious – and controversial – that we’ve seen in a long while. Stage invasions, secret sets, senile Sunday night headliners… what else could you possibly […]

The MBG’s EP Everywhere We Sit Is VIP is an interesting concoction of sounds and influences. Proving difficult to pin the band down into a subgenre within the frame of ‘indie’, it’s this level of defiance and […]

Chesterfield/Sheffield based rock band, Spitfire, have released a punch-in-the-face sonic entity in the form of ‘Shock You’. From a band that have chosen to share their name with the aircraft that formed the […]

Despite only having a couple of tracks online, newcomers Vant earned themselves a support slot with Royal Blood and have already signed to none other than Parlophone Records. Mattie Vant, the brainchild of the […]
