PREMIERE: Let Man Loose – Shotgun Good Fun
Ladies and gentlemen, we are in for a treat. Let me introduce to you Let Man Loose: this four-piece rock band hailing from Hull have the City of Culture surging in their veins, and they’re about to prove it with the release of their latest single ‘Shotgun Good Fun’. The rough, unpolished edge to …
TRACK: LUMER – HOMICIDE
Torn straight from The City of Culture, post-punk band LUMER introduce to us their latest single, ‘Homicide’. Ripped at every edge, with a white-knuckle freneticism and lyrics spat through gritted teeth, ‘Homicide’ has the post-punk attitude, but has twisted it into a much leaner, much wilder beast. The single was produced at The Nave in …

VIDEO: FIRE(THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE) – MAMA JAGUAR
There’s a reason they’re called FIRE (The Unstoppable Force), you know. What name would better reflect the apoplectic, incensed sound they project; the rough, unrefined grit; the way their music seems to set your ears ablaze? The flames of Warren Records’ Hull-hailing five-piece have been reaching new heights, what with the release of their eponymous …

You don’t often get music with that quality, but Joe Brown’s EP Lemonade, in three tracks, managed to achieve it. The …
