Video: From The Sticks – DMT
I’ve done a few things over the years that have absolutely terrified me, like asking a good friend of mine if she wanted to be more than that, in a bar full of drunken friends all cheering and jeering me on. After doing that I reckon I could face down a hungry lion with a …

EP: Young Peculiar – Young Peculiar EP
We’re not anything here at Backseat Mafia, if not adventurous. It’s not quite three months since we started and already we’ve done things about Jazz, Funk, Indie, Post-Rock Classical and Metal music. I have come to the conclusion that if you search hard enough you’ll find good in everything eventually. And we’re all different, right? …

Track: The Indieannas – Flying High
I’ve been to Buxton quite a few times. It’s one of those places that, once you’re there, is beautiful with loads of history. Its Built on the River Wye, and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, but it’s probably most famous as a spa town due to its geothermal spring, which apparently rises at a constant …

Discover – Vuvuvultures – Stay Still
I was in hospital this one time, I suppose I would have been about eight at the time, when I was told to stay still. Being in hospital was nothing new – me and my brother had bad asthma and we spent at least a couple of weeks incarcerated every winter. In some ways I …

Track: Dark Horses – Traps/Boxing Day
Benjamin Disraeli was an author, letter-writer, thinker and probably most importantly, Prime Minister. Twice. Back in a time when these sort of jobs only went to the very richest and most privileged members of society (err, hang on a minute…..) during the 19th century,Disraeli was indeed one of that ruling class, but he was also considered …

EP: The Planes – On Demand
If I made a list of things I knew about the coastal town of Portsmouth, it would be pretty short. That fat bloke with loads of tattoos who rings his bell at Portsmouth football club, the A3, a port……Roger Hodgson of Supertramp was born there (actually I looked that last one up on Wikipedia- i’d run …
