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 […]
MoreWe always say that we have a bag full of rock and roll stories to tell. We are saving them for our autobiographies when we are old and famous, but we can share a small anecdote about how we became acquainted with a London based Bedroom Tax. It was early 2019 and we arrived to […]
MoreIf you haven’t heard the name Lizzie Reid yet and you fancy yourself a new music fan, then you have been probably living under a rock or spent the last two years in an exile to the Gobi desert without an access to the Internet or the radio. In her native Scotland, Lizzie is now a […]

What is missing from this statement is that Emma`s talents spread way beyond music. She`s a multi-instrumentalist (playing guitar, […]
MoreSome things are certain: like death and taxes and perhaps me following the careers of Harrison Baird-Whitman and Joseph Devine. Sometimes I feel like an unofficial chronicler of musical shenanigans of these two, but it’s worth the effort. Who knows, maybe there`s a book somewhere in my distant, psychedelic future? I won’t bore you with […]
