• 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…

  • Best of 2011

    By now you’re probably dead tired of end of the year lists, some of them are extremely self-indulgent and, well, they do get a little samey. It’s always hard to do these End of year things… not only because you’re still struggling with food coma nor because it’s sometimes a bit of a self-indulging thing.…

  • Appeal : stolen guitar in Sheffield

    Hey! This one is more of a serious post. A lovely Hutchins guitar (teardrop shaped, white) was stolen from Joseph Armstrong (from Avida Dollars) on NYE at The Harley in Sheffield.

  • Interview – Onslaught

    Well, Ladies, Gentlemen and Demented Fictional Characters, we at Sloucher.org pride ourselves in being very democratic (natch!) and we ALWAYS want to hear both sides of the story. Whether from rock vs pop, Surrealists vs Realists and Trekkies vs Anoraks, we thrive on hearing both sides of the story (both literally and the Phil Collins…

  • Sloucher Boxing Day Mix CD

    What? You thought we only were going to do one free mix cd this year? Aw hell naw. We took a cue from The Smashing Pumpkins (the first band to release a free album on the Internet, check it!) and we just neg’ed the cover and got more awesome bands to donate tracks. Since the…

  • Sloucher – Posada Mix CD

    A Posada is a traditional Mexican party where people drink, break piñatas, gorge on sweets, snog (sometimes not their significant others, eh) and, oh, yeah, they mount up a play about Baby Jesus and his parents looking for a place to park the SUV during the busy last minute shopping onslaught (eh!) in Bethlehem. They…

  • Various Artists – New Heavy Sounds 2

  • Susie Soho – Twelve Twenty Seven

  • The Clench – Walking in the Devil’s tracks

    Broken hearts, bourbon shots and old Colts with rust near the handles. That’s The Clench  on a nutshell. They were in a nutshell but, heck, can’t keep the power of Americana Rock inside a crusty little shell for too long, dig?
