We may have said it before, but we absolutely adore Gaylips. They are funny, vicious, honest to the bone and fantastically talented. We have reviewed their previous single called “Managing Director” in July and we said that we will review everything the duo puts out. The band is now back with an ass kicking and […]

More“Pet Shop Boys meets IDLES”. This is how Ami Quick, Derby based multi-instrumentalist and journalist, had been described by music press. It may sound cliché but it also means trying to fill two big pairs of Doc Martens. To be honest it should be “Pet Shop Boys meets Against Me!” as there is a bit of […]
MoreAs a music journalist we tend to meet all sorts of people at interviews. Some are neurotic and will speak about everything from Queen’s corgis to the British weather but not about themselves. Some are plain boring and it’s hard to get anything out of them at all. Others are exaggerating their successes to the […]

MoreHonestly, I don’t know what happened to the indie circuit in the last decade. Since time immemorial, major record labels always catered to popular tastes releasing music that was trendy, easy and not demanding. Its purpose was not to get you to think, but have fun, relax and enjoy the good times. It was up […]

I stopped in my tracks, pointed at a radio and said to a shop seller that we were just witnessing a birth of a superstar. They just nodded their head and said yeah but […]
MoreEvery time I am in Cardiff, I have this habit of vinyl shopping. For new releases I usually go to The Spillers Records, for second hand and old-time rarities there`s Kellys Records. Awesome and quirky shops, worth checking if you ever find yourself in Wales. In both places, they pride themselves with promoting local bands […]
MoreThere is no label I venerate more that Loosegroove Records. And no other label shaped me musically as much as this indie giant set up by Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) and Regan Hagar (Malfunkshun, Brad, Satchel). In its day, in the mid-90s, Loosegroove released absolute gems from Seattle scene that were ambitious, avant-garde and defined […]
