See: Last Shadow Puppets release video for Bad Habits, announce June live dates
There’s two ways of looking at it I suppose. Either that the waits nearly over, or alternatively the anticipations almost at boiling point. It’s those Last Shadow Puppets, ostensively Alex Turner and Miles Kane, and there second album that’s causing all the talk. Turns out ‘Everything you’ve come to expect’ is coming out on April …

Say Psych: Album Review, Spectral Laundromat by Shooting Guns
Every so often I hear a record which just stops me in my tracks, the sort of record that even though I’m hearing for the the first time I just have to say to myself “fuck me that’s good!”. Spectral Laundromat by Shooting Guns is one such record. Were that not enough, this album is …

All that is about to change, however, with Captcha Records/ Cardinal Fuzz launching represses of the band’s first two albums (see a review of second album, Sun, here). The debut, eponymously …
Say Psych: Album Review, Forever Driftin’ by Foul Tip
Drum and bass isn’t something that you would normally associate with Cardinal Fuzz or Captcha Records. That’s because Foul Tip aren’t what you would normally associate with that genre, even though they are a Ed Bornstein (Drums & Vocals) and Adam Luksetich (Bass & Vocals). Foul Tip are actually an interesting duo who manage to coax more …
Track: Wild Nothing – Reichpop
“I desperately wanted for this to be the kind of record that would displace me,” says Jack Tatum, aka Wild Nothing, of his forthcoming third album, Life of Pause. “I’m terrified by the idea of being any one thing, or being of any one genre. And whether or not I accomplish that, I know that …
EP: The Winter Typres – Holding Hands In Public
‘The Winter Tyres’ is a five-piece acoustic pop band based in Belgium, that came into existence when Brian Bordello (The Bordellos) found a battered C60 cassette down the back of the sofa, that he’d made aeons ago entitled “Songs For a Girl to Sing”. These songs were sent to his old friend Claire Wilcock, and …
