  • Review: Loudon Wainwright III – Older than my Old Man now

    “Send me something different”, I said.

  • How I Wrote Elastic Man (Single) / Totally Wired (Single) / Peel Session #3 (1980)

    Ed & Pete play in a band called Pisco Sour Hour. While not fighting the Pitchforks of the world, they dedicate their time to review the whole back catalogue of The Fall.  In this instalment: How I wrote Elastic Man, Totally Wired and  Peel Session #3. 

  • Richard Quirk – Drawing the Footpath of the Sun

  • Singles Review : Wooderson, Collider, Obe, Drenge, The Hot Soles, Psychic Twin, Odisseo

    Greetings, readers who know how to eat a Taco al pastor correctly. The best ones are at Los Latosos! Welcome to another edition of our “off again, off again, hey it’s on again!” single reviews column. Granted, some of them aren’t singles, but I liked them and made my stupid human collaborators review ’em. Así son…

  • The Payroll Union – Club60

    The ending of Sensoria festival was a right old delight with The Payroll Union doing their stuff at Club 60. In the underbelly of Sheffield, this trio peddled their flavour of Americana, deeply enrichened by history-fact heavy lyrics.

China Rats Facebook. Website. Twitter. Soundcloud.

    Oh yeah! Renegade Brass Band are back soon with a new recording under their collective arms, which is something really exciting for us who got their knees smashed up during their set in Peace in the Park 2011. This band, who are part of The Machiavellian Mix O’Evil (TM), released an EP last year (which we enjoyed) and…

  • Spotlight on : Screaming Maldini

    Ah, Screaming Maldini. A noisier side of pop, a swanky cacophony of glockenspiels, vocals and a Rickenbacker that just won’t quit.

We’ve reviewed one of their EPs, interviewed them, saw them at Peace in the Park,…

  • Wake up to…Last Harbour

    Woo! New stuff from the Last Harbour gang is always appreciated, with their stark music oozing gothic atmospheres, filling every nook and cranny with dread. So, obviously, we wanted to share with ya the new video for the track ‘This is how we disappeared’. Brrr! You can check our review of Your heart, it carries the sound…
