  • Gig: Low Duo, My First Tooth & Screaming Maldini @ The Harley

    The marrying of imagination and reality is always a rocky one. The utopian images in your head will always look like what Sir Kenneth Hugo Adam would do to please Sean Connery, but the dystopian vicissitudes of real life sometimes yield a canvas scrawled by a crayola wielding maniac who sniffed too many grammes of…

  • Hands out – Hands out

  • Video Round Up: Fear of Men, Psychic Twin, The Clench, Elika, Let’s Say We Did, Beaty Heart, LCMDF

    Howdy ho, this is yer “round up” editor, Orestes P. Xistos, and I’m bringing you a few videos for your visual pleasure. Why? Because we love you. No, wait, that’s the Mickey Mouse Club. I hate that mouse. Team Donald forever! Oh, videos, right:

  • Blessa, Fear of Men & Veronica Falls at The Harley

    It doesn’t get much better than this, a trio of great bands, presented in the stage that occupies the funky joint called The Harley. Three bands playing music from genres that will not cater for a crisp, clear cut sound, but an expansive sound with heavy brushings of reverb, fuzz and overdrive.

  • David Bowie – The Next Day

    Well I guess somebody at Sloucher has to do it.

  • Gig: Mazes – Birthdays, Dalston 28/02/2013

    The anticipation in the room ranged from the absolute maximum (myself as well as large portions of the crowd) right down to the seemingly bare minimum as the crowd waited for noisy London/Manchester DIY indie trio Mazes to take the stage at Birthdays in Dalston, East London on the last date of their February tour.

  • Stream : Paws – Tiger Lily Demo Tape

    PAWS are touring the East Coast of the USA right now, with a stop in SXSW 2013 and in celebration of this, they are selling a limited edition (50 copies!) tape, with three brand new songs. These tapes will only be available during the tour. We do bring you a stream, courtesy of Fat Cat…

  • Bands to look for at SXSW 2013

    Ahoy there! We are a broke, skint and demoralised, so we won’t make it to SXSW 2013 in Austin, home to the second best chili con carne I’ve had in my life (1st was in Arkansas, thanks for asking). It matters not, here’s a list of bands we heartily recommend you do check at the festival. Why…

  • Geeking in Sheffield – 1

    New name for the column. Because we don’t want to get sued again. Oh, well. My name is Orestes P. Xistos and I don’t get paid for this shit… Welcome back to our obnoxious little column where we post and promote the events we have agreed to give a push around. It’s our ass kissing…

  • Singles : Ellen and the Escapades, Just Handshakes (We’re British), Xavier, Cokiyu, Stagecoach, Shugo Tokumaru, Straw Bear, Louville, Dead Gaze, Ola Podrida, Little Tybee, Cyril Snear, The Smösh, Psychic Twin

    Greetings, readers drinking Sidral Mundet (via smuggling) and eating twiglets because you gave up cheese for lent (idiots).  Welcome to another edition of our “reviewing releases late again” single reviews column. This week’s singles come courtesy of a lifelong depression triggered by The Fridge Episode, from staple 80s show Punky Brewster. Shit, that is the…
