Live Review: Eagulls / Bad Breeding / Autobahn – Scala, London 30.102014
The Scala, London, is more reminiscent of a bear pit than music hall, with its various perches on three sides overlooking a small stage. First to be thrust in, is fellow Leeds thrashers, Autobahn.

Album Review: Medicine – Home Everywhere
I’ve been listening to Medicine’s new album Home Everywhere for three days straight and I’m still finding new nuggets of aural beauty every time I hit play.
