  • Stream: Volenté, Misty Miller, Stagecoach, Lab Coast, Syd Arthur, Senses Fail.

    Ahoy, mateys! It’ yer pal Orestes, bringing you some freshhhh beats, because, let’s face it, Wednesdays suck! I mean, I prefer Fridays because I get free cheese danish at my office during elevenses…and who doesn’t like cheese danish? Unless you hate cheese. Or are vegan. Shit. I’m shutting up. Let’s talk about music:

  • Last call for the Monday Night Gig – Last gig at Soyo Live

    The Banshee (or La Llorona, if you will) screamed for the soul of the Monday Night Ritual that was Soyo Live. It was a surprise, hard hitting piece of news as it had been four years of free shows offering a veritable cornucopia of styles, catering to both the slack jawed who just wanted “rawk”…

  • Gig: Low Duo, My First Tooth & Screaming Maldini @ The Harley

    The marrying of imagination and reality is always a rocky one. The utopian images in your head will always look like what Sir Kenneth Hugo Adam would do to please Sean Connery, but the dystopian vicissitudes of real life sometimes yield a canvas scrawled by a crayola wielding maniac who sniffed too many grammes of…

  • Hands out – Hands out

  • Video Round Up: Fear of Men, Psychic Twin, The Clench, Elika, Let’s Say We Did, Beaty Heart, LCMDF

    Howdy ho, this is yer “round up” editor, Orestes P. Xistos, and I’m bringing you a few videos for your visual pleasure. Why? Because we love you. No, wait, that’s the Mickey Mouse Club. I hate that mouse. Team Donald forever! Oh, videos, right:

  • Blessa, Fear of Men & Veronica Falls at The Harley

    It doesn’t get much better than this, a trio of great bands, presented in the stage that occupies the funky joint called The Harley. Three bands playing music from genres that will not cater for a crisp, clear cut sound, but an expansive sound with heavy brushings of reverb, fuzz and overdrive.

  • David Bowie – The Next Day

    Well I guess somebody at Sloucher has to do it.

  • Gig: Mazes – Birthdays, Dalston 28/02/2013

    The anticipation in the room ranged from the absolute maximum (myself as well as large portions of the crowd) right down to the seemingly bare minimum as the crowd waited for noisy London/Manchester DIY indie trio Mazes to take the stage at Birthdays in Dalston, East London on the last date of their February tour.

  • Stream : Paws – Tiger Lily Demo Tape

    PAWS are touring the East Coast of the USA right now, with a stop in SXSW 2013 and in celebration of this, they are selling a limited edition (50 copies!) tape, with three brand new songs. These tapes will only be available during the tour. We do bring you a stream, courtesy of Fat Cat…

  • Bands to look for at SXSW 2013

    Ahoy there! We are a broke, skint and demoralised, so we won’t make it to SXSW 2013 in Austin, home to the second best chili con carne I’ve had in my life (1st was in Arkansas, thanks for asking). It matters not, here’s a list of bands we heartily recommend you do check at the festival. Why…
