  • Wake up to … Papercutz and Pleq’s new collab

    There’s celestial music and then there’s music with the sky (and the stars) as the driving force. Papercutz have paired with soundscaper Pleq and are offering for free this chillout (and sometimes chilling) track titled ‘Neptunian Moons’, which will be part of a compilation called Celestial Summer. It’s Friday, so instead of wondering if you…

  • Beauty in solemnity

    Sleepingdog – With our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields Stream – ‘He loved to see the world through his camera’

  • Single reviews: iliketrains, Lafaro, Dead Sons, Mabel Love and Brew split

    We bring you the latest singles we have been ordered to review or we would’ve been shot by a cow armed with a flintlock pistol. So here it goes. At least we got several of our writers to contribute (but then again, we pointed crossbows at them, booyah for old school violence)

  • Wake up to… Billy Liar

    Stream – ‘It starts here’ Billy Liar is an acoustic punk musician from Scotland that has been relentlessly working for the past years (four on the last count) to get his unplugged punk out there to the masses. He’s recently toured Europe and is ready to continue gigging this year. Not only will he be…

  • Coffee with Orestes: Transformers 3D, Bridesmaids, Larry Crowne, The Conspirator

    We gave our jack of all trades, Orestes Xistos a couple of tenners and a list of films to review. This piece of shit is what we got. A free CD and a pint if you can point out all the references to other films.

  • Wake up to… Steel Trees

    Steel Trees are a band from The North, full of energy, a grunge distortion firmly stomped upon and the intensity of a trio of friends wanting to get out of a garage by any means necessary (excluding blue and orange portals, eff that noise). They also have been doing some good opening duties to legends…

  • Lost gems: Pearl Jam’s No Code

    Stream – In my tree

  • Friends of Friends – Five minutes with Vetiver

    Photo by Alissa Anderson Sloucher’s PM was lucky enough to catch up with Vetiver brainbox/band leader Andy Cabic after the band’s recent gig in Brighton (here’s a shameless plug for our review). The band is touring to support the release of new record The Errant Charm, which has already scored the accolade of ‘Best summer…

  • Paving Stones : Blacklisters

    Blacklisters. The name reminds me that I can’t show my mug in a couple of clubs in Sheffield (it wasn’t my fault). It also reminds me that you can have a sense of humour (although a bit sordid, but that’s cool) while rocking out and scaring a few vicars. This band consists of Billy Mason…
