ALBUM REVIEW: DJANGO DJANGO – GLOWING IN THE DARK

In these strange times, it’s great to still have new music to look forward to, and since we’re two weeks into February now (which is starting to feel longer than a Pink Floyd song) it’s great that we have a new album to spin. If you don’t know Django Django then you’re in for a […]

ALBUM REVIEW: FEMI KUTI & MADE KUTI – LEGACY +

Legacy+ is a double album featuring Stop the Hate, the 11th studio release from Femi Kuti (son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti) alongside For(e)ward, the debut album of Femi’s son Made. Surely no style of music has been so inextricably linked to a single family as Afrobeat is to the Kutis since the Bachs basically […]

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.

INTERVIEW: THE TELESCOPES

They may have been part of the Creation Records scene in the early 90’s but The Telescopes are a band who have led the way in psychedelic swirling indie for over thirty years. Now very much the solo project of Stephen Lawrie, The Telescopes have a new album on the horizon, ‘Songs Of Love And […]

ALBUM REVIEW: GOAT GIRL – ON ALL FOURS

Do you remember that really cool post-punk band Goat Girl? They released that quirky album a few years back that was littered with hidden gems like ‘The Man’ and ‘Country Sleaze’? If you don’t recall them it’s fine, because now they’ve delivered something that nobody will be forgetting any time soon. Goat Girl are South […]
Shame - Drunk Tank Pink

ALBUM REVIEW: SHAME – DRUNK TANK PINK

‘Shame! Shame! Shame!’ No, you haven’t landed in an episode of Game of Thrones or Boris Johnson’s email inbox, but the review for the new Shame album “Drunk Tank Pink”. The alt-rock/post-punk band return with their second album, the bigger and better follow up to their promising debut.  The album itself goes bigger than the […]

WHO ARE YA? ALTO KEY

ALBUM REVIEW: HERE LIES MAN – RITUAL DIVINATION

Here Lies Man vocalist Marcos Garcia says, of their new album Ritual Divination: ‘It’s an inward psychedelic journey, the album is the trip’. He says ‘Musically, it’s an opening up more to traditional rock elements.’ – and it’s easy to hear Black Sabbath and Steppenwolf and the retro theatre organ evokes Hush by Deep Purple. […]

ALBUM REVIEW: THE KILLS – LITTLE BASTARDS

As a happy accident of this devastating, pandemic situation, Domino Records’ boss Laurence Bell came up with the wonderful idea of gathering The Kills’ B sides and rarities in a double album, aptly titled “Little Bastards”: A bunch of 20 lost, hidden-in-digital-platforms gems that the British-American duo released between 2002-09.  All tracks have been remastered by […]
