  • 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…

  • 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. Thievery is always a problem, but the thievery of a musical instrument always hurts most (been there before). If you see this instrument, please contact…

  • 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…
