  • EP Review: Irk – Bread And Honey

    Some things in life are synonymous with each other, like AFC Ajax producing talented young footballers, or American TV companies making super addictive shows. For the city of Leeds it is being home to an endless amount of heavy music.

  • Album Review: Versus You – Moving On

    ‘Fat Lip’ and ‘From Under the Cork Tree’ are just a couple of great releases that the genre of ‘pop punk’ gave us. However, it also gave us long, drawn out and downright whiny vocals. It feels like you could probably complete an ultra marathon and master 3 disciplines of kung-fu by the time Tom Delonge…

  • Ben Frost – A U R O R A

    Brutal and beautiful at the same time. How many albums can you say that about? Ben Frost’s latest album A U R O R A is one.

  • ALBUM REVIEW: Waking Aida – Eschaton

    Post-rock. Math rock. Ambient rock – music with these tags are captivating to the imagination. The music is made up of bubbles of elements forming balls of tones, textures and temptation. Waking Aida have caused a terrific landslide within the scene and it’s clear why.

  • EP REVIEW: Mononoké – Tom Finigan

    What’s in a name? Well, this York trio have certainly picked a good one, naming themselves after the Studio Ghibli masterpiece ‘Princess Mononoke’.

  • Ray Manzarek – Love Him Madly

    “This is the end, my only friend.”

  • NEWS: Waking Aida – Glow Coin (video) + UK Tour Dates

    Experimental rock outfit Waking Aida released a music video for Gold Coin taken from their forthcoming début album,’ Eschaton’ (2nd June) yesterday. You can pre-order ‘Eschaton’ via their bandcamp.

  • Then Thickens – Death Cap At Anglezarke

      Some of the songs on ‘Death Cap At Anglezarke’ wouldn’t go a miss on a set list of a stadium rock band. That might conjure up some painful images – Bono getting his nipple out live on television or Springsteen croaking through ‘Born In The Usa’ – but this comparison is not an insult.…

  • Live at Leeds 2014 – an afterthought

    Leeds. The HEART of the northern music scene (some would say) a place of openness and Yorkshire delight…held the music festival Live at Leeds at the weekend and oh my…weren’t we in for a treat.
