Read MoreAs live events start to pick up again, we’ve been getting ourselves out to gigs and enjoying the lighter evenings.
Read MoreIn a world obsessed with stereotypes and genre pigeonholing, house & techno DJ, D&B DJ, broadcaster, presenter, writer and label head Charlie Tee’s no nonsense approach to music is that of any true aficionado; playing tracks that make her feel viscerally. From high energy house to gritty peak-time techno, or her more unhinged side rinsing some D&B and jungle, you’re always in for a ride.
Read MoreI’m sure we’ve all heard someone say “music saved my life” at some point, and whilst it might sound like something of a cliché it is actually true. Music has several positive effects on our mental wellbeing; helping to alleviate stress, enhance memory, stimulate emotion and soothe the soul.
Read MoreWe know, it’s been a painfully slow start to the year. We also know that we’ve had to be boring and step away from shows for a short stretch (not our choice, blame the government). We are, however, BACK, and ready to contact you once again from the front lines of live music.
Read MoreIf you haven’t come across Hen Ogledd yet but love the sound of wonky, folkloric, political, fluoro-pagan electro-pop you’re just going to love them, believe us. Following their latest release No Wood Accepted and their tour in December culture editor Kerry Mead caught up with them to talk about how they make music together, reclaiming the vocoder, and aural time-travelling.
Read MoreSoulful and intricate, yet aggressive and pulsating, Rarelyalways is an artist whose genre-straddling has seen him embark on a meteoric rise from the streets of Hackney to collaborating with renowned fusion musician Hanni El-Khatib. Music editor Emma Doyle was caught up to speed on most-recently released ‘Manic’ EP, and what’s in store for the future.
Read MoreWhen I fell in love with my spouse over ten years ago, despite already knowing I was polyamourous, I didn’t expect to fall in love that hard again.
Read MoreI won’t bore you with the gory details of my ‘un-love’ life, suffice it to say that the pattern of falling for boys, uniformed or otherwise, continued into my teens…I had unrequited love down like a pro and could have written a book or vlogged about it if the internet had been invented.
Read MoreThe ever expanding world of music genres can be, to the uninitiated, a baffling experience. Over recent years, the trend amongst journalists seems to be to create increasingly ridiculous genres (and sub genres) for new artists, rather than attempt to define them within the existing musical spectrum. Is it simply lazy journalism? Well no, not necessarily.
Read MoreConcocting a delicious mixture of sunshine pop, psychedelia and self-confessed sarcastic lyricism, Greatest Hits are the newest Anglo-Australian music talent you’ve been missing out on up until now.
Read MoreNostalgia is a part of life. And so is music, especially if you are an arts and music lover like myself. Have you ever thought back to a time when one specific album changed your life in ways you never would have expected?
Read MoreI sometimes find myself at a gig thinking...jeez, who told them they sounded good!? And this is why I wouldn’t make a very good critic. The trouble is, I have too many opinions and not all of them are kind. I think to be a critic it’s good to be neutral to a degree, take an overview and be objective. But I love music so much; so I’m passionate, opinionated and subjective.
Read MoreBristol-based DJ and producer Sean McCabe has had plenty of time to develop his own sound within the house music scene. Famously, he released his first tracks in 2003 at the tender age of 17 and has spent the last two decades fine-tuning a trademark sound that is effortlessly soulful. As a DJ, he forged a reputation at the legendary Southport Weekender, playing as far afield as Asia and South Africa, as well as regular appearances across Europe and the UK.

Read MoreOne half of the duo Try Me, Miles is a singer, songwriter and producer based in Bristol. With time to slow down and reevaluate in lockdown, Miles decided to turn to solo work while him and Bendy Wendy were unable to create music together. From this, Hector Who Lived was born!
Read MoreSince releasing his first full-length album, Escape the Kingdom, in February of this year, and single Sirens in the same month, J Chambers has barely had a moment to pause for a second thought, let alone a leisurely conversation over a soy matcha latte. Nevertheless, we caught up for a discussion about race politics, heritage and intense soul-searching.
Read MoreWe’re back at it again with our November live music roundup. This month, we’ve barely had a pause for thought as we’ve bounced from one show to the next, but had such a good time in the process that we’re bringing you a double bill. Perhaps second time really is the charm…
Read MoreWhat is the point of spending £50 on a limited edition vinyl when that artist will only be charging £12.99 for that same album in MP3 format? Is it just trendy to reject the mainstream? Is Vinyl a fad, or is this the second coming of The Record?
Read MoreThe bisexual vegan shitpunks, Joe & The Shitboys, formed with the intention of ‘calling out shitty behaviour in the conservative Faroe Islands’, where, they say, the rock scene is filled with ‘boneless homophobes and meat-eating misogynists’. After seeing them perform one of the best live sets we’ve seen in a long time, and then spending some time chatting with them back in September at Dot to Dot festival in Bristol, we basically fell hard for the lot of them.
