See: Terminal Gods release video for Connection & Rupture + Tour Dates/Album News
According to my psychologist, the colour red is the most devious of colours, symbolising power, aggression, and sex. I dunno, but maybe that’s why London post-punk outfit Terminal Gods have decided to immerse themselves in swathes of it for their latest video… Shot by Massive Capital Video , ‘Connection & Rupture’ is taken from the bands debut album …

The first event in 2007 was held to celebrate Leeds’ 800th birthday, and has now grown into an integral part of the festival season, which attracts over 10,000 people each …
Say Psych: Album Review, Burning Up With… The Heads
I came fairly late to The Heads party. When I arrived I thought that all I was left with was to hoover up a few half empty cans and the dog-ends of some well-smoked spliffs. As I was getting more and more into the ‘psych’ scene The Heads were a band that I heard talked …
Not Forgotten: Half Man Half Biscuit – Some Call it Godcore
Although it has remained one of their least celebrated albums, Some Call It Godcore occupies an important part in the Half Man Half Biscuit discography. You see, HMHB are almost unique in the fact that they officially split up, only to come back and release a body of work which was the equal of, if …
Meet: The Cradles, and listen to their track Ideal Girl
We’ve been rather taken with The Cradles fantastic recent single, Ideal Girl – which mixes up bits of the Kinks, splashes a bucket of mersey, a touch of psych and some good old fashioned indie rock over things, and makes something which must be one of the records of the year thus far. We got …
Live Review: Nothing But Thieves / Sundara Karma / Black Foxxes at the Leadmill, Sheffield, 11.4.16
Nothing But Thieves could almost be forgiven for taking things slightly easier on themselves tonight as they take to the stage at the Leadmill. They’ve had to recently reschedule several dates due to lead singer Conor’s illness but even more excitingly, the offer of a guest slot supporting arena and festival headline hoggers Muse on …
Album Review: We Are Scientists – Helter Seltzer
The ever–growing manufactured pop industry has many flaws, but perhaps it’s greatest crime is the fact that it has continued to redirected the limelight and record label resources away from a whole generation of non-manufactured acts who would otherwise be enjoying big hit singles and be celebrated by being carried shoulder-high through any town they …
Album Review: Galaxy Cloak – Galaxy Cloak
Remember the eighties? They were the golden age for hip-hop, making stars of the likes of Run DMC, NWA and The Beastie Boys. Whenever a new compilation of hip-hop classics comes out, that’s where it all seems to start. So it’s sometimes easy to forget what a great decade the nineties was for the genre. …
Not Forgotten: Bad Company
As radio-friendly hard rock went in 1974, Bad Company were about as generic as it gets. It’s not that they were particularly bad, it’s just that they never really went for broke or took any risks. The initial line up of Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke, Mick Ralphs and Boz Burrell never really advanced artistically from …
Album Review: Nick Worrall – Hero Buffet
If you’ve ever been bored by a “best” new album or track and said, “I bet there’s someone in a shed somewhere making better music than this,” it turns out that this hyperbolic assertion is actually true. I have found the shed. The occupant of the shed, located in rural Norfolk, is unsigned singer-songwriter Nick …
