  • Ed Hale and the Transcendence – All your heroes become villains

  • Wake up to Wet Nuns

    Yup, new year and we are still feeling the groooove this band gives. This is the video for ‘Heavens below’ and it’s roaring heckuva time. Have a great Tuesday (the ugly duckling of the week according to my shaman in Veracruz) and, hey, you can download the song for free, yeah! And if that ain’t…

  • Whistle Peak – Half asleep upon echo falls

    A second album by Whistle Peak drops on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14th for those absent-minded). The name is Half asleep upon echo falls and the sound is lo fi (but polished, so no details are lost) and the atmosphere is thick with folk and country sensibilities, but there’s a tinge of electronica and ambient, just to…

  • Review : ILTea

    Those tea addicts from iliketrains have launched their own brand of tea (with some help of Nottingham‘s own Lee Rosy’s) and now are offering a delectable Earl Grey (or Gray for our American readers). We sent our squirrel spies to nick a bag from iliketrains‘ fortress of solitude in Leeds and smuggled it back to México, where…

  • Wake up to Ninetails

    Liverpool’s own Ninetails (signed to Superstar Destroyer Records) are getting some love! They are on a roll at MTV Unsigned (you can still vote) and they are doing quite a bit of noise around. As a thank you/gracias to all the people supporting them, the band have released a brand new song (with a spiffy…

  • The Twilight Sad – No one can ever know

    The always evolving beast that is The Twilight Sad show their true colours once again. A reinvention of sorts while still maintaining that very raw emotion on top of the wave of notes and noises. The album (out on FatCat Recirds, Feb. 6) is No one can ever know and although guitars haven’t been chucked…

  • Interview – Headlights & Psychic Twin

    Absinthe Blind. Headlights. Psychic Twin. Three very different bands, with a couple of members being transferred every time it undergoes a regeneration, Doctor Who style.

  • Singles – Niña, obLONG, Captives on the Carousel, Model Village, The Wooden Birds

    Greetings, readers who bought all 2 copies of my self-help guide, Surviving Christmas Break Ups with Turkey marinated in Rum! 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. Mahalo. …

  • Gig review: The Hot Soles, Mad Colours and Hey Sholay @ The Harley

    It’s a cold evening, I’m pretty worn out from a lacklustre final day of work before the Christmas break, so what better way to enliven my evening that watching Hey Sholay, with support from Mad Colours and The Hot Soles at The Harley? Accompanied by my *already* inebriated (soon to become heavily inebriated) mates Ancliff…

  • My Morning Jacket – Circuital

    Life is a circle. You tend to do the same mistakes you’ve swore you’ve never do again. You meet again and again with the same situations and even if you think the previous experiences have taught you the way forward, there are little variations that pull the rug under you, making you change your perspective…
