See: Milburn announce September comeback tour
Yeah, they’re back. Well, after selling 10,000 tickets in 6 minutes (yeah, 6 minutes…that’s like Radiohead or Blur quick) for their 4 recent homecoming Sheffield shows, they couldn’t really not be back, could they? Often regarded as an influence on other bands rather than a draw in their own right, the time away has obviously …
Meet: United Fruit, and listen to their track Where the Sun Beats down
We’ve long been taken with the punky alt rock of Glasgow based four piece United Fruit. When we heard the heavy riffs and blistering, driving vibe of their new single Where the Sun Beats down, we fell for them completely. There’s a sort of wobbly brilliance about the track, perhaps eminating from the jumpy, joyous …

We’ve been rather taken with The Cradles fantastic recent single, Ideal Girl – which mixes up bits of the Kinks, splashes a bucket of mersey, a touch of psych and some good old fashioned indie rock over things, and makes something which must be one of the records of the year thus far. We got …
Album Review: We Are Scientists – Helter Seltzer
The ever–growing manufactured pop industry has many flaws, but perhaps it’s greatest crime is the fact that it has continued to redirected the limelight and record label resources away from a whole generation of non-manufactured acts who would otherwise be enjoying big hit singles and be celebrated by being carried shoulder-high through any town they …

LIVE: The 1975, Manchester Apollo, 12/3/16
On this tour, The 1975 are doing something rather special- instead of playing arenas to thousands of people like they so easily could, they’re choosing to do several dates at some smaller venues. London’s Brixton Academy saw the band take to its stage no less than four times last week, while the band are now …
