Live Review: Yann Tiersen / Quinquis – The Roundhouse, London 08.09.2022
As the puddles form around the humdrum town and London joins the rest of this disunited kingdom to enter a new Dark Ages, a little French fun should be just the tonic.

We are very honoured to premiere the new single ‘Write A Song Sounds Shit’ from Turpentine Babycino: an honest, raw and attitude-filled piece of post punk coolness. The epic sneery delivery, disassociated and wry, provides a post punk insouciance over driving barbed-wire guitars and pounding rhythms – the louche Australian drawl providing veracity and immediacy …
