  • Singles reviewed: Soundgarden, Mega Aquarians, Mark Eitzel, Chris Helme, Watchers, Silver, Autumn Owls

    Greetings, readers! I’ve got reflux. It isn’t fun. It’s like using hydrochloric acid for mouthwash. Do you know how painful that is? It’s like that time I was in Tijuana with my Uncle Joe and we met a couple of delincuentes malandros who sold us this high quality mezcal (it had three worms instead of one). Turns…

  • Wake up to Death Rays of Ardilla

    Death Rays of Ardilla is a band we have been waiting to release something for far too long, their new 10″ is out soon (you can preorder from Rough Records) and without further ado, here’s the psychedelic track ‘Diamonds’. While you wait for your order, you can always check an interview we did ages ago…

  • Stream: The White Album

    Those Danish folksters, The White Album, are playing today at The Lexington. If you wanna know how the new songs from Conquistador go, check this here handy stream: However, if you are not going to the gig ‘cuz you’re in another city (or stuck in a puddle in a hill in Sheffield like me), you can visit the band at…

  • Botín MP3 – 1

    Hey up! Here’s a few MP3s we’ve received for you, lovely people, feel free to nick away! DJ Shadow & Irn Mnky – ‘I Gotta Rokk’ – Kudos if you recognise the samples! I’m pretty sure ‘Voodoo people’ and ‘Robot rock’ are there. Check out the scratch skill! Heart of Hearts – ‘Unbound’ – The breezy folk…

  • Wake up to Wickerbird

    Wow. This is just brilliant. Dark, gloomy folk for these uncertain times (rainy, uncertain times). Wickerbird have been garnering some rather excellent comments from everyone and their aunts (or uncles if they don’t have aunts…). Here’s the stunning track ‘The Fold’. Wickerbird Bandcamp. Facebook. Soundcloud. Tumblr. Twitter.

  • The Lost Gem : Zurdok – Hombre Sintetizador

    I gotta be honest: for a big while I was “allergic” to Rock en Español. The reasons are a bit complex and not related to the music per se, but other factors. It took me a while to really warm up to any band from my own country, but then again, I was a late…

  • EP Round up: Wax Fang, June, Fighting, Cleft, Bleed Electric, Crushing Blows

    Hullo hullo, it’s your editor-in-training, Orestes P. Xistos and I’ll be doing this week’s EP round-up. In honour of the new Spiderman flick not being as shit as Spiderman 3, I’ll be assigning a Sinister Six equivalents to each of these bands!

  • Wake up to Antlered Man

    The crazy sounds of Antlered Man always remind me of a less angular Mike Patton, which still is a serious amount of crazy. This is the new video for ‘Buddhist Soup’. Antlered Man will be on tour with Romans and We are knuckle dragger from today (Southampton) until October 13th (Nottingham). No Sheffield date, sadly, as they…
