May you live in interesting times – says an old saying, apparently the first of three ancient Chinese curses. The other two are even more scary: may you come to the attention of authorities and may the Gods make your wishes come true. Terrifying staff I tell you. Recently, I feel like we have been […]
MoreI first became acquainted with PleasePrettyLea about two years ago after the release of her well received single “Chaotic”. A friend of mine was reviewing the song and she sent me a message saying that I needed to listen to the track. I did and I was very impressed, sadly at that time, we had […]
MoreIt`s so good to be friends with Gemma Clarke. Not only is she one of the coolest drummers in the country, a genuine rock star (her band JW Paris is one of my all-time favs), but she also has impeccable music taste. It was Gemma who introduced me a few weeks ago to a trio […]
MoreI may have mentioned it once or twice, but I consider the Bangor-based, Welsh duo CELAVI to be the best thing in music since the invention of a loudspeaker. This nu-metal family outfit (the classic set up of husband and wife) are doing wonders for the British metal scene and my well being. I have […]
MoreEveryone who has used the internet in the last twenty years, have come across Hunter S. Thompson`s quote about the TV and film industry circulated in the form of a meme. “The TV business is uglier than most things” – it goes – “It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money […]
MoreHalloween is nearly upon us and there is a great wealth of music out there to serenade your trick and treating. From the 80’s classics (“Ghostbusters” theme, “Thriller” by Michael Jackson), through the 90’s (The Cure, Rob Zombie, Type O Negative’s entire back catalog) to the modern masters of scare such as Spirit Token or […]
MoreVanadian Avene’s absolute favourite nu-metal indie artist BEX is back with her newest single and it’s a very important one. “Sum Kinda Syko” sends a powerful message to those who are stalking, threatening and sexually abusing female artists in the music business. Sadly, this type of criminal behaviour is not only limited to the entertainment […]
MoreLast month, a music editor from a large daily newspaper (we shall not be naming names) gleefully announced that guitar music was dead. In his view, British rock was a goner and there would not be another household name like Sam Fender or Ed Sheeran anymore. I know the press can be completely out of […]
MoreI don’t like reviews of bands being squeezed into “riot grrrl” box. You may ask me why and I shall tell you: because those write ups are lazy. If a band consists of all females or queer folks, then name drop Bratmobile, sprinkle with L7, cross reference with Hole and voila, you are a critic! […]
MoreYou know you had an eventful year when it is October and you finally got to write that review for a May release. I wish I had more time in a day (which music journo would not love to live on a planet offering you 48 hours of daylight!?) to give this record a proper […]
