• Review: Death from above 1979 – The Physical World

    Death From Above 1979‘s debut album You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine was part of the ‘Dance-Punk’ genre. Most bands grouped into that genre moved on with their sound, but DFA split up in 2006. Ten years on from their debut album, they are back with The Physical World. 10 years more mature and 10…

  • Cuento Corto: Tiempo y Marea – Parte 1

    Prólogo   ¡Cómo cambia la vida en tan poco tiempo! El tiempo, ah, condenado amigo que te sigue a todas partes y que tarde o temprano te matará. Recuerdo haber leído hace ya tantos años una frase. No soy afecto a las frases y pienso que toda persona que las cita interminablemente es por hacerse…

  • Review: Later… without Jools Holland (Low Duo Mike Hughes Chloe-Jade Simmons Caroline Francis

    When I arrive at the Greystones, extra chairs are being brought it to accommodate the eager punters crammed into the back room. Unsurprisingly, the second of these shows, devised by the wonderful Low Duo, is a sell-out. In one of the breaks, I ask the band – brothers Adam and Leigh Greenwood – what the…

  • Footbah!: NFL – Week 1

    Week 1: So, like I said last time, after years of pretty much ignoring all NFL games, I jump into this whole sports writing malarkey just to widen my writing range. And ruin more articles with my poor proofreading skillzzzzzzzzzzzz yo. I’ll focus on one game and write a few lines about the other games I…

  • Review: Pulled apart by horses – Blood

    You can’t accuse Leeds’ Pulled Apart By Horses of ever being predictable. The band’s self-titled debut captured the excitement of the live shows, filled to the brim with freewheeling skirmishes and youthful brio. The follow-up record Tough Love demonstrated the quartet’s song craft, with Tom Hudson’s vocal range being pushed further and James Brown’s guitar sliding…

  • Video : King Capisce – Shake the dust

    Ahead to the release of The Future Cannot Be Born Yet, It Is Waiting For The Past To Die, their spiffy new album chock-full of jazz experimentation, King Capisce have released the new video for ‘Shake the Dust’. Shot in black and white, ‘Shake the dust’ captures a slice of their live performances (of which we are fans.) The…

  • Video premiere: Black Walls – Field Two

    Black Walls sound is a mean, dark cocktail mixed from equal servings of black metal, post rock and drone-folk. The mystical soundscapes lend itself to visual companions and we are very happy to host the brand new video for ‘Field Two’, from their album Communion (out in the UK on September 15 –  Little Crackd Rabbit Records.)…

  • Footbah! – Seattle Seahawks vs Green Bay Packers

    Well, time to start piling up some fat before Christmas, the first bell has rung and we have stopped dipping our toes in the water: the NFL season has started. Warm up was essential and it came with musical guests. Soundgarden delighted fans with ‘My Wave’, ‘Rusty Cage’, ‘Spoonman’ and ‘Outshined’. Sadly, we mortals on tv…

  • Columna: Sobre cómo me encontré (corriendo un Medio Maratón)

    Hace poco más de 5 años no corría más que al baño después de una fuerte comilona. Pero en algún momento de esos en los que muchos cambios de vida se conjugan (nuevo trabajo, nueva casa, nuevo sistema operativo), decidí comenzar a correr como una actividad física y metafísica que me llevara a un mejor balance…

  • Review: Os Noctambulos – Corsica Garden

    Listening to Corsica Garden made me laugh and made me cry. “Why?” I hear you ask. Well in my early years, my constant companion was a tiny transistor radio with an ear-piece (no stereo in those days). The radio was hidden under my pillow and in the depths of the dark early 1960’s night I…
