ALBUM REVIEW: STUART MOXHAM & LOUIS PHILIPPE – THE DEVIL LAUGHS

Stuart Moxham was part of indie-folk legends Young Marble Giants whose minimalist approach gained many fans including Kurt Cobain, whose own music may have been a million miles away in terms of volume and power, yet the similarities were there in the sentiments and attitude. When Young Marble Giants went their separate ways in 1980 […]

GIG GUIDE

Between September 2011 and March 2020 we provided a handpicked gig guide every month without fail. It's painful for us that there are currently no gigs to recommend. We hope gigs will return soon to bring you new recommendations, but if you want to reminisce you can still see nine years worth of old gig guides.

Martha Rose

VIDEO PREMIERE: MARTHA ROSE ‘IRON AGE DAYDREAM’ + Q&A WITH MARTHA

We’re delighted to present the video premiere of ‘Iron Age Daydream’ by Martha Rose. It is a film by CV Vision. The music video was made in Bavaria in the Midsummer heat and follows a ghost-like Martha searching for ancient shrines and secret places… A maiden makes her way through life and just like every […]

ALBUM REVIEW: THE ACES – UNDER MY INFLUENCE

The second album can always be a challenging experience for any artist or group, but for The Aces they make it seem so easy. Coming off the back of their well-received first album ‘My Heart Felt Volcanic’ and a tour supporting 5 Seconds of Summer, they continue their streak of creating infectious pop songs. The […]

ALBUM REVIEW: BDRMM – BEDROOM

Just when you thought that the UK shoegaze scene was defunct, five lads from Yorkshire have given the little-appreciated genre the kiss of life. Regrettably, the quintet goes by bdrmm (presumably pronounced as bedroom). Fortunately for us, they’re much better at writing music than they are at choosing band names. It’s worth noting that bdrmm […]

Titles of Quality That Loosely Fall Under the Industrial Label

INTERVIEW: PSYCHO COMEDY – LIVERPOOL ART COLLECTIVE WITH A PSYCH ROCK HEART

ALBUM REVIEW: A A WILLIAMS – FOREVER BLUE

In a world in a current flux of damage and unaware of how to mend itself, perhaps it’s forgotten what pain ‘actually’ feels like? We have the comforting wet cloth and band aid that is a new release. Though the majority of us are stuck in a confusing landscape that seems to have less clue […]

ALBUM REVIEW: OSCAR JEROME – BREATHE DEEP

‘Breathe Deep’ is the highly anticipated debut album from Oscar Jerome who is part of London’s burgeoning nu-jazz scene. Now, before we continue, don’t let the term, jazz, put you off. For anyone who has been following how the scene has developed over the last few years you’ll know that Jerome and many of his […]

FEATURE: WHY SHALLOW WATERS ARE THE BEST BAND YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF

Silent Radio’s Jon-Paul Berry conducts a socially distanced interview with Shallow Waters’ Martyn Abbott and Chris Pearson. It all began in a seedy Amsterdam hostel located on the cusp of the bustling red-light district in 2017. I found myself under the influence of substances I would rather not discuss; sat gawking out of the cobwebbed […]

ALBUM REVIEW: HAIM – WOMEN IN MUSIC PART III

Haim are back! After their more pop-leaning second album, they return with the posthumously titled ‘Women in Music Pt. III’. I can now say with no uncertainty that this is probably one of, if not the, best albums of the year, and it’s only June. ‘Women in Music Pt. III’ is their most personal, inventive […]

ALBUM REVIEW: HINDS – THE PRETTIEST CURSE

Two words spring to mind when I think of the Spanish quartet Hinds, and that’s colourfully consistent. Whether it be live or recorded, they never seem to dissatisfy. The band have just dropped their third album ‘The Prettiest Curse’ and you’d be a fool not to put it on to your summer playlist. Hinds have […]
