ALBUM REVIEW: THE MACCABEES ‘MARKS TO PROVE IT’
The Maccabees Marks To Prove It The Maccabees in my opinion have always been an underrated outfit. When you’ve got groups like Kasabian and Kaiser Chiefs pissing around the industry like headless chickens desperately trying to reinvent themselves, it’s nice to see a band come along with a positive correlation rather than a disjointed ‘progression’ in accordance with fashion trends in the popular music field. And with their latest record ‘Marks to Prove It’... Read More

LIVE: THE DANDY WARHOLS – 31/07/2015

Ironically, The Dandy’s commercial success was responsible for my discovery of The BJM – a band who refuse in principle to sign a record deal. The documentary... Read More
The Silent Radio Show 01/08/2015 with The Franklys
We were joined in the studio this week by all four of The Franklys while they were in town for their show at the Castle Hotel. We talked ‘girl bands’ and even gave them a quiz about Yorkshire (only one is from the UK so she was at no advantage as she’s from the south). You’ll have to listen to see which of them walked off with the prize of Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls, a completely un-Yorkshire prize. In addition to all that we still found the time to cram... Read More
LIVE: THE GORIES / THE HIPSHAKES – 29/07/2015
The Gories – THE RUBY LOUNGE, MANCHESTER – The Hipshakes are like those kids you see hanging around the hallway in High School at the beginning of a John Hughes movie. They don’t figure in the main plot, but they’re far more interesting. They ain’t nerds and they aren’t jocks, they are the music obsessive vinyl collectors who can’t find anyone local who plays the music they dig, so they form their own group. The Hipshakes have been around a while now, and... Read More
