  • Dirty denim in a Plug Pantry

    Interview – Dirty Jeans     A few minutes after their gig at The Plug, the Dirty Jeans got snatched and found themselves into an interrogation room at The Plug. After stating their names and crimes in the name of good music, Gaz (guitar/vocals), Katie (keyboard/vocals), Clint (bass) and Luke (drums) sat there, with their…

  • Wake up song for today -95

    Wake up to some classic 90’s cheesy soft-rock pop from an unfairly underrated musician (who also happens to own a pair of the coolest glasses in the world) – Misky

  • News: Interpol

    Interpol – ‘Lights’: The ever mysterious Interpol are stirring in the depths of some dark music studio somewhere, casually sticking their heads out of the sand to post new track ‘Lights’ on their website, only to disappear off the face of the earth, driving fans crazy with curiosity in a teaser campaign which seems almost cruel…

    A fantastic live video (unfortunately taken from TOTP2) of Bowie performing on The Old Grey Whistle Test (1972) singing ‘Five Years’ from the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars. Please come out of retirement Mr Bowie, you are sorely missed!- PM

  • Interview : Kin

    Although the day was very sunny, a chilly gust roamed the streets of that cradle of music and fashion, Manchester. A whole essay could be written about the many types of genres melting together in this city and the focus today is on an artist that takes from several genres and blends them together into…
