The year is 2044. Dexter Morgan is now a revived zombie and has just moved into a new apartment in Wyoming (the only state left in America that he has not yet relocated to). With most of the show’s writers nearing the end of their lives, this will be their 8th – and last -... Continue Reading →
YOWL continue with run of brilliantly fresh garage-rock releases. The Peckham formed band seem to be part of what could be referred to as a trend emanating from their area of the UK. Although not directly comparable, qualities in there storytelling could be juxtaposed with that of Coventry's FEET, where as parallels can be... Continue Reading →
You could say Ben Howard's 2014 record went against the groove. When his debut album Every Kingdom cleaned up at the Brit Awards the year previous, I doubt many thought he his next album would delve into this dark - in sound rather than substance - experimentation that has shaped his music since.

Irish sensation Sally Rooney made her entrance into the world of novel writing two years ago with her debut book, Conversations with Friends. The story exhibited overwhelming emotion, skilfully morphed characters and witty dialogue at levels that are rare to find within any piece of literature, never mind in a debut novel by a woman...

The corner of your eye sees William Wallace chomping down a box of noodles. You turn around and see people who are 50 years apart queuing up for the dodgems. Spock is drinking a pint whilst dancing in Mother's Ruin. The curios, eccentric assortment of Belladrum attendees seems to always match the diversity of the... Continue Reading →
This album review is admittedly a bit late. Mainly because I haven't been able to listen to "The Balance" in one go. Not because it hurts my ears. Not because Mccann's voice irritates me. And not because the lyrics are especially poor. It's because I find myself so subconsciously lulled into boredom during each song... Continue Reading →
Declan Welsh is a Glaswegian poet and songwriter. His band, the Decadent West, help bring his words to life. The group released their first official EP last summer entitled All My Dreams Are Dull. The songs ranged from the suburban boredom of Lull to the screams of a social movement in Nae Pasaran. Welsh's, sometimes... Continue Reading →
"I wanna buy you a flip screen motorola", are some of the standout words from single Stanton. The wryness and irony has continued on to the bands' newest EP - Keep Walking. The members of Sports Team met at Cambridge University and have become part of what some are referring to as the guitar music... Continue Reading →
