Album Review: Majical Cloudz – Are You Alone?
It is 2am on a Monday morning, I am sitting and relaxing in my bed with the windows open and my lights dimmed. I decide to listen to the Magical Cloudz album I’ve been meaning to get around to. I am pleasantly surprised. ‘Disappeared’ is a gorgeous, slow paced starter, in its best moments recalling …
Live Review: Fuzz Club Festival – Day 2
Day 1 of Fuzz Club Festival had set the bar impossibly high. There had been 6 outstanding performances on Friday, the promise of 8 more on Saturday was a dizzying prospect. The dizziness is quickly reigned in, with the inevitable news that Wall Of Death, understandably, would no longer be joining us. The sickening reality of the slaughter in …

Brooklyn based VOWWS recently released their latest album The Great Sun. Filled as it is by industrial strength synths and dark pop tendancies, it also featured guest appearances from Gary Numan and Thor Harris of Swans.

Album Review : Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings – It’s A Holiday Soul Party
The last few years have seen an explosion of Christmas music, the disposable nature and large numbers of traditional songs immediately available means the genre is ripe for releasing downloads in time for the holiday season. But here’s a whole album of unashamedly retro Christmas music! Funk and soul from perhaps the finest soul band …
Live: Skindred, Crossfaith, HedPe and Yashin, Leeds University Stylus
It’s a travesty, really, that bands with stature such as Crossfaith and especially Skindred aren’t playing bigger venues. However it has its advantages, because surely bands of such calibre, in such a small space can only be a really, really good thing. As Yashin take to the stage at the tender time of 6.30- to …
