  • Bromheads – Live at the Troxy

    The wait is over…no, scratch that, it still on. Bromheads have been quiet for a while, plotting, planning and installing frickin’ lasers in their secret base in Planet Crystal Ship while preparing a new EP. As a “settle down, you needy fans”, a free live EP has been released, called Live at the Troxy.  Interesting choice of tracks.…

  • Sun Kil Moon – Among the leaves

    Ah, Mark Kozelek. A man with his hearts on his sleeves, letting the feelings seep through the membranes and translate into emotions. Whether in electrical form (his feedback solos in Red House Painters) or by the pure magic of nylon string guitar (Admiral fell promises , pure acoustic beauty) the man is always brutally honest, for the best and…

  • The Blank Generation – my punk experience

    Late 1976. I had left university with an English degree. I was married. I owned my house. I was working in a wiring factory, waiting to hear if I’d got funding to do a masters, studying vernacular architecture in West Yorkshire.

  • Review: Peter Hook and The Light play “Unknown Pleasures”

    Leadmill, Sheffield, Tuesday 29th May 2012.

But Wagonmaster Craig brings acts in from all over the country (and occasionally beyond these shores) to support or headline alongside the South Yorkshire bands. Recently they’ve brought some amazing bands to The…

  • Singles Reviewed : Hey Sholay, Screaming Maldini, Rumour Cubes, Simian Ghost, Dinosaurs are shit dragons, Black Gold of the Sun

    Greetings, readers who know the historical inaccuracies in Oliver Stone’s JFK. He didn’t took crazy pills, he overdoses on them. I preferred him when he was writing mental things like Scarface or Any Given Sunday, though… This week’s singles come courtesy of Tacos Los Latosos, the best tacos in ALL of Mexico City. You know it,…

  • Interview – Hawk Eyes

    A long while ago, there was this band called Chickenhawk that made ace music. Then it changed name, designated themselves Hawk Eyes and continued to do ace music. Then they released an EP called Mindhammers. Twas good. Less than 6 months later, they deploy a tactical nuclear riffage called Ideas , which still gets regularly played here at…
