  • The Lost Gem : Gazelle – Sunblown

  • Wake up to New Beard

    TUBA! The only instrument you can go to when you consider bass to be too “floaty” to actually leave an impact (I like bass, though). This is New Beard, a fantastic band from Brooklyn, New York who combine some ace riffs with a healthy dose of rock (and tuba, of course!). We’ve reviewed their album New Beard City and…

  • Interview – Conveyor

    The music of Conveyor oozes happiness (and some longing). It also sports some cool odd time signatures and a some rather catchy chorus. So when an email interview was offered, we took it. Here it goes!

  • Review : The Village Bike @ Sheffield Crucible Studio

    The Village Bike by Penelope Skinner tells the story of Becky, a married woman going through her first pregnancy. Her whole life is being transformed irreversibly in front of her very eyes and the desperation brought by fast change is creating a personality crisis in her. She lives in a quiet village away from the…

  • Singles Reviewed: August Actually, Burly Nagasaki, Firesuite, Wet Nuns, P.O.S., Minus The Bear

    Greetings, readers! You still there? This is the first singles column we do in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaageeeeees.

The vinegar-ey slag!…

On that note, the music of México‘s own June has that nostalgic feeling, so much like a forlorn shadow sighing at dusk, on top of a hill no one plays at anymore. Christ, I’m depressed…

  • Songs for Jane Howden

    They said that the only two certainties in life are death and taxes, but considering how some people avoid paying them, I’m no longer sure about taxes. But, yeah, we will all leave this mortal coil, one day. What’s never certain is what we can do with our time on this greeny Earth. I never…

  • Hey Sholay – ((O))

  • Castrovalva – You’re not in Hell, you’re in Purgatory my friend

  • Wake up to Spring Offensive

    Holy frijoles refritos! This is a pretty good (although depressing) song to start up a week, but, fuck it, it’s almost Autumn (or Fall…) and the days are shorter, the grey (gray!) skies are getting starker and moods are down. Where are my meds*? Anyways, this is Spring Offensive and the song is ‘Not Drowning…
