  • 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…

  • Coffee with Orestes: The Sweeney, Dredd 3D, Lawless, Neighborhood Watch

    We gave our jack of all trades, Orestes Xistos a couple of tenners and a list of films to review. This piece of shit is what we got. A free CD and a pint if you can point out all the references to other films.

  • True Bypass – Toby

  • Wake up to Bleech

    “Shotgun? What, like guns that fire shot?” “Armed? Armed with what? Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster…what do you think they’re gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit!” “It’s been emotional”. Get your rocking gear on, as Bleech‘s new single (out on Oct. 22) wants to take someone to the ropes (not me, I’m a coward).…

  • Review: The Hot Soles, Mad Colours & Dead Sons @ Leadmill

    My friend Seth was outside, having a cigarette and trying to loose himself from a bird tryin’ to chat him up. As much as he looks as a more lascivious version of Zach Galifianakis, he keeps raking them women in. So it goes.

  • Bellowhead – Broadside
