EP: Eugene Black – Incubus
Not heard of Eugene Black? Well, its the new musical project for Paul Rip who, if you’re still in the dark, was a driving force behind the first wave of rave culture that gripped the UK back in the late 1980’s. Back then, Rip ran the infamous RIP parties at Clink Street Prison with resident …

The Velvet Underground have to be one of the most influential bands of all time. Without them it would have been hard for any kind of underground/alternative sub-culture to even exist, let alone flourish. Championed by the likes of David Bowie, cited by the Jesus and Mary Chain, their music more than stands the test …
Track: Dark Horses release ‘Saturn Returns’ single, ahead of new album ‘Hail Lucid State’
Sometimes it’s nice to be able to sit back and think ‘told you so’. I’m not advocating you say it out loud like a conceited ass. Just, you know, sit back, nice and content that you got it right. When I heard this week that Nick Cave himself had proclaimed that Dark Horses are “the …

New Music: Freddie Gibbs / Young Thug / A$AP Ferg – Old English
‘Old English’ really shouldn’t work. A track which features such disparate vocal talents – Gibbs’ guttural gangsta rap growl, Young Thug’s unhinged yelp and A$AP Ferg’s demented bark – with such different approaches in their own music – it’s hard to imagine that hip-hop traditionalist thinks much of Young Thug’s ‘Picacho‘ – shouldn’t work, but …
Track: Table Scraps – ‘Bug’
Fancy getting down and dirty? Well here’s a slab of unadulterated backstreet punk. Meet Table Scraps.
