  • 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…

  • Unfortunate letters about incidents – 7

    Welcome to our new weekly column with Russ “chords of gold” Palmer. This week, he writes with grave concern to Top Shop… (and here’s a song to listen to while reading this incident…)

  • Radio friendly Americana

    Dust on the Breakers – American Reclamation The skinny: Music as a landscape. The review proper: Imagine an Autumn sunset. The skies are turning mauve and purple. There’s a few shades of red and orange by the departing Sun. And you’re on your way home to your loved ones (in my case, a laptop).

  • Lost notes – 3

    Previously, on Lost Notes… Lost notes – 3 As the bus (sorry, coach) stops in one of those greasy food joints along the M1, I think about my green notebook. It has one of those elastic bands and it’s filled to the brim in notes and ideas for books and short stories that I will…

  • Review: 65 days of Static – Heavy Sky (EP)

    65daysofstatic – Heavy Sky (EP) The skinny: That little tail behind the comet that was We were exploding anyway. The review proper: Why chop down ‘Tiger girl’?

  • That’ll be the last time we invite you!

    It was a cold, bitter October afternoon (leading to a hypothermia-laden night) and the text message in my shitphone (i.e. any smartphone that doesn’t bear the Mark of The FruitBeast) read: “get yo’self to Budgie and the Toad”. And I sez to meself: Ok.

  • Cancer is the answer

    Cancer is the answer We all know that cancer is the answer. What you may not know is that cancer used to be a horrid disease. That was until Dr Fukkanuts, a German biochemist with a broken mind and an unfortunate name, found otherwise.

  • Liars Beware of the fuzz…

    Liars Beware – The last 24 hours EP. The skinny: A cotton swab to the timpanii. Allegedly. With fuzz. The review proper: Pretty lo-fi and rocking effort from this band comprising members from everywhere else (Smokers Die Younger, Nature Set) and exmembers of somewhere from past yonder (Long Blondes, Navvy).

  • To the beat of the drum machine

    Still Flyin’ – A party in motion The Skinny : Synth overdose. The review proper: Might have to get something out of my chest before starting this review. A party in motion is a bit too 80s for my own tastes. Drum machines, synths and even a sax (‘Victory walker (2 AM)’).

  • Looking back at … The Joy Circuit

    The Joy Circuit There are times when your sanity is put to test because you say you like bands that no one else knows. Are you crazy? Are you making that band up because you feel alone in this world? If you knew who The Joy Circuit was, I can assure you this: you’re not…
