It’s hard to say exactly when it happened. It could’ve been during one of the 100+ shows STRFKR played over the past two years — ecstatic sold-out dance parties that started in tiny, sweaty rooms before word of mouth spread and forced a move to larger (and even sweatier) venues. It might’ve been when touring […]
Cyril Snear don’t raise their heads above the parapet often.

The best part about leaving is coming back. After last week’s whirlwind, five-star love affair with the UK, Matthew E. White and Europe are counting the days ‘til they see each other again. It’s a long distance relationship — but not for long. With their hugely acclaimed debut album Big Inner out now on Domino, Matthew E. White and his band […]
