Track: Fatherson – Always
Indie-rock trio Fatherson have just completed a mammoth UK tour with synth-pop pals Prides (read our review of the Sheffield show here) but they’re not slowing down yet. They’ve just released a new single called ‘Always’, a sincere offering which burns with life from the very first note. This is the first musical release from …
Not Forgotten: Lindisfarne – Live
Quick! Name one British folk rock act of the 1970s! Okay, so who actually mentioned Lindisfarne? Precious few I imagine, as they’re now primarily for an arse-clenchingly awful novelty duet. Those that do delve a little further into their career will be rewarded with a clutch of hit singles and a selection of albums of …
EP: Harper – ‘White Lies’
Last year I put the debut EP from Harper at number one in my top 10 EPs of 2014, which means that my expectations were considerably high for what was released next.

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.

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 …

Track: Pusha T – Untouchable
Pusha T has mastered the art of not becoming satirized. This is something he cites in the opening of his new track “Untouchable”. He states, “ I drops every blue moon/ to separate myself from the kings of the Youtube.” “Untouchable” is Pusha T’s first Timberland beat featuring a Notorious B.I.G sample. Although the affiliation …
