  • Wake up to : Apolo

    Apolo is a band from the glorious North of México. Chihuahua, to be precise. The quartet has been doing the rounds since 2007 but their first physical release, Apolo EP, was unleashed just last year. Between some overdriven notes and a slight tinge of Desert Rock, Apolo has a new digital release coming out this…

  • That Fucking Tank – A document of the last set

    Is there such a thing as a 13/16 (or something) time signature? On ‘Making a meal for Beethoven’, English math-rocking beasts lovely named That Fucking Tank seem confident about it. Ever wondered what would happen if garage rockers actually learnt a few extra chords and interested themselves in distinct riffing, layering, and rhythm? I am…

  • Gig review: Low @ Queens Social Club

    It’s probably an oft said remark that Queens Social Club seems stuck in some sort of time/space anomaly. If you ever walked in by the other door, the one that leads to the place where OAPs are happily surrounded by mustard yellow wallpaper, you’ll feel like in something out of Get Carter (or The Italian…

  • The Insomnia Diaries – Low

    A few years ago, I had a bout of insomnia. Although this wasn’t good for my health, it opened the floodgates to many a band, film, book and show that I’ve never got around to until this. This monthly column will mention a few of these discoveries.
