  • Interview – Yonderboy

    A long time ago (sorry), I met Sammy Thompson (drums), Curragh Treanor (guitars) and Bruce Woods (bass) from Leeds-based powerhouse Yonderboy for a spot of Bungalows and Bears. The battery ran out near the end of the interview. The card was damaged and it took a lot of dirty little tricks to recover the majority…

  • Single reviews – Spotlight Kid, Skint and Demoralised

    Spotlight Kid – Plans come apart Some superb shoegaze from Nottingham borne Spotlight kid, with three members boasting credentials from fantastic bands (Six by Seven, Bent, Echoboy). This, of course, sounds nothing like their previous bands, so what you get is a punky stargazing song with the minimal requirements of shoegaze covered and then some…

  • Webcomic: Rana que vuela a la cazuela

    Ahí tienen que la semana pasada, nuestro trío de héroes (cobardes, pero héroes) Ogo, Miller y la Rana estaban en un callejón maligno y sospechoso (por el Sanborn´s de los azulejos, ¿cómo no?). ¡Continuamos!

  • Rollback from digital deletion

    Stream- Is this hyperreal? “Music is the weapon” – ‘Activate’ by Atari Teenage Riot

  • Piece de resistance

    The Monicans – Epic Entrée EP A big explosion to our ears, different colors in the air with a touch of free will through music. That’s the first impression I got when I listened to The Monicans and got certain addiction to their music.

  • Looking back at… Failure’s Fantastic Planet

    We love Failure. In all its forms and meanings. It’s what makes us who we are as writers/reviewers/ranters/human beings. We love the band, too. Sorry for the upbeat/stupid intro, this is more of a collective piece instead of the usual “one person army” approach we’ve done in the site. For this very special edition of…
