• “Five rounds, rapid”

    obLONG – EP 1 As I think I have said already, I strongly believe that every moment, situation, event or second in our lives has a soundtrack (never get tired of saying that, sorry), and obLONG has been the soundtrack of anger and inspiration to me.

  • Interview – Electric Six

    I have a funny story with Electric Six. I can’t stand their most-known hit (you know which one) as it got overplayed (and I still say it’s Jack White doing the voices) ’til repetition-saturation point. One fine day, I got Señor Smoke because it was cheap, it had a Queen cover (just go with it)…

  • The Sunday Soapbox – The Top Gear Debacle

    Disclaimer from the editors: We usually stay away from politics, as they are utterly boring, so this is a one off for the Sunday Soapbox.

    Ogden is full of surprises. From the moment I moved here, I became obsessed with Ogden’s bustling music scene. There are so many amazing metal and country bands, but today I am going to give you the lowdown on Ogden’s indie folk music scene.

  • Interview – Murder By Death

    Murder by Death are a terrific band from Indiana, USA, who specialise in a species of alt-country with some cinematic undertones. All their albums are dense, dripping with atmosphere and most them have an unifying narrative (The Devil in Mexico, Weird Western, etc). We got out resident freak/spammer Sam to send them an email filled…
