The big news this week was that Nine Inch Nails extended their UK tour by three large arena concerts and tickets costed an arm and a leg. What if we told you to skip those gigs and instead invest a tenner to see a new band? Seriously, if just a thousand people decided to miss […]
MoreEvery music journalist or a blogger can confirm this to be true – there are weeks when one receives 100 PR emails and there is not a single thing worth writing about in them. Almost like 100 channels on your cable TV and not a one good movie to watch. Or 100 shows on Netflix […]
MoreIt may be a weird hill to die on but I will risk saying that these days Birmingham scene is one of the most innovative in the country. And I don`t mean The TWANG here, but countless smaller artists and individuals with clear and fresh ideas, who quietly shape the circuit all over the Isles. […]
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.

MoreThere is a famous phrase that states film should begin with an earthquake and work up to a climax. Although possibly made up by a Hollywood reporter, you can’t deny that the line is quite true. Nothing works better than a dynamic first impression. And this is exactly what The Imaginary Friends have opted for […]
MoreIt may be cold outside, but we have got the hottest music. After we published our review of Jimmy Maddon`s “Make Love (Inside Your Bed)”, our blog enjoyed three days of increased traffic. The single received some much love and interest from readers and people on the circuit, that we decided to sit down with […]
MoreAustralian avant- garde artist Jimmy Maddon has built himself a name on the indie circuit in the last years. His mixture of hard/glam rock with elements of comedy has been described as unique and highly entertaining, capturing imagination of music fans across continents. He had released self-titled debut album in 2020 and a handful of […]
MoreEverybody loves DIY bands recording ambitious music in their bedrooms…or bunkers. Yes, you read it correctly. French/German project Clopidi record their music in a bunker that had been repurposed as a practice room. In the heart of Hamburg`s seedy St. Pauli district, we may add. Form the first notes of their debut single “My Window”, […]
