  • 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…

  • 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.

  • Webcomic: Plot boiled Frog

    Hey, remember last week how our webcomic ended up in cool cliffhanger? Well, it was cool to me. Here’s part 2, Plot Boiled Frog We’d like to ask the BBC not to sue us.  We do love the show.

  • 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.
