LIVE: LIVERPOOL SOUND CITY – 28-29/05/2016

– BRAMLEY-MOORE DOCK, LIVERPOOL – The Merseyside festival is back and it seems to have cemented itself a place as one of the more popular smaller festivals – just a year after its relocation to Bramley-Moore dock.  Last year’s festival saw three days of talent whereas this year saw just the two days of live […]
ALBUMS Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly The album that the modern world has been waiting for. The major records to have captured the public consciousness in recent years have been either self-important ego riots (hello Kanye) or tepid retro-pop (Adele, Taylor Swift). Kendrick is interested in being heard by as many as possible, […]

2015 END OF YEAR – MAX PILLEY

2015 END OF YEAR – JOE CURRAN

ALBUMS Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly It’s topping polls left, right and centre and for good reason. An enormous, sprawling hip hop opus that captures the grim reality of black America, wealth and fame. It’s far from the easiest listen, but the rewards are there for the giving TPAB the attention it thoroughly […]

SOUND CITY 2016 ANNOUNCES FIRST WAVE OF ARTISTS

SLEAFORD MODS RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR ‘SILLY ME’

“‘Silly Me’ is about the long tunnel, the one that has no light. Another week spent walking up and down the street. The quiet tension of your living room with its shit sofa. The unconfirmed nature of ‘doing’ instead of ‘trying’. It’s that realisation that all you have to work with is your own failure, […]
Sleaford Mods: Invisible Britain isn’t just a documentary about the Nottingham duo, it’s also looks at the current state of the nation. The film makers took to the road to follow Sleaford Mods as they embarked on a tour that would take them to the smaller, ignored, less toured and boarded up parts of the […]

SLEAFORD MODS: INVISIBLE BRITAIN – MANCHESTER SCREENING

LIVE: SLEAFORD MODS / STEVE IGNORANT’S SLICE OF LIFE – 23/09/2015

– THE RITZ, MANCHESTER – So, why after two years (-1 day) have I decided to dust off my writing pad and make the time to review tonight’s gig? The simple answer, Sleaford Mods have excited me more than any other band in the last twenty plus years. As it happens, tonight’s support comes from […]
Sleaford Mods – Invisible Britain, part band doc, part look at the state of the nation, follows the band on their recent tour of the UK and visits places which probably don’t even exist in the minds of many – the neglected, broken down and boarded up parts of the country that most would prefer […]

A STATEMENT FROM SLEAFORD MODS PLUS NEW TRACK ‘LIVE TONIGHT’

“I remember January 2014 at The Chameleon Club, three months before we released ‘Divide and Exit’: “Do you mind if I dance behind you on stage mate? Only there’s no fucking room out there.” I looked over and it was packed to fuck. People were standing on tables, crammed in, bunched up and raving. By […]
“Wonderful Cunts. That is all.” That’s ideally what I’d like to have published however, due to the restrictions of word count and “professionalism” more of an explanation as to why I love this band is required. But hey it’s Sleaford fucking Mods so I couldn’t give a fuck! Key Markets sees the boys from Nottingham, Jason […]
