  • Unfortunate letters about incidents – 9

    Welcome to our new weekly column with Russ “chords of gold” Palmer. This week, he writes with a concerned sweet tooth to Wagon Wheels…

  • Interview – Nat Johnson & The Figureheads

    It was a cold day in August and the weather prediction was cloudy with a high chance of rambling and ranting. I have to interview Nat Johnson and the Figureheads. They are Nat (vocals/guitar), Kevin (guitar), Chris (bass) and Neil (drums). One of the bar staff graciously puts a table for us outside, and we…

  • The dark side of music : U2

    Who? A quartet from Ireland. You probably a few songs in your collection. It’s like dustmites: they are everywhere. Also “un, dos, tres, catorce!”

  • Interview – Gregory & The Hawk

    Gregory and the Hawk (interview): One of our best writers, Tonantzin, got a chance to ask Meredith Godreau (aka Gregory and the Hawk) a few of questions. Why? Because Tonan’s a great writer (and a fan) and Meredith Godreau is a wonderful artist, that’s why? Anyhoo, enough rambling, here’s their email conversation:

  • Interview – Un Mexicano Enojado

    Un Mexicano Enojado is a band from Mexico, and frankly, they are quite angry. Their music (c’mon, click on the stream!) is a mix of rock and electronic, tribal rhythms. This is Un Mexicano Enojado (An Angry Mexican) speaking to me, a Mexican exiled in the UK. These are their words to the us.

  • Tripping the lucid light fantastic

    The Lucid Dream – In your Eyes (EP) The Skinny: Less lo-fi. Still noisy. The review proper: The lads got a reverb and a vibrato pedal and are not afraid to use it. Swear to God, all that acid done in the 60s found its way into the water supply and after a few years…

  • An interview with Sheffield’s greatest monkey

    Interview – Jonny Sock (no, he ain’t from the Arctic…) Our previous online editor, Orestes, was killed by the minions of the Angel of the North (true story, I have the video to prove it!), but waaaaaaay before that unfortunate incident (see what I did there? tee hee), he/she/it managed to get an interview with…
