See: Forest Floors new video – Seeing Red
So, how do I feel about my shoes. They make me feel awkward and plain. Well, maybe not my shoes, I was just including The Smiths lyrics because, well, I can (it’s from accept yourself) But I do hate looking at myself in just about any sort of visual media. Sometimes we shoot some video …

O Emperor – Vitreous: Album Review
Back in April I got lost on bandcamp and wandered into O Emperor‘s house. They had facial hair so it was a pretty happy accidental meeting plus, as you could not doubt tell from my breathless review of the video for “Holy Fool” I also liked what I found. Now they’re releasing albums, and it’s …
New Music: Public Service Broadcasting – Theme from PSB
There seems a lack of public service broadcasting on our televisions these days. Its probably down to having to be accountable for just about anything and everything. In my youth, we had loads of it, and I have happy memories of the evil of Nico Tine, and crossing the road with Geoff Capes. One such …
Discover: Amber and listen to their track Noah
Me and my friends came together at University to do various things, some of them very creative. Some of the highlights of this creativity include swapping chocolate slim-fast with chocolate laxatives (how were we supposed to know he had an instrumental exam the next morning) signing one of our friends up to every free offer …
Meet: Indie pop darlings Making Marks, and listen to new track ‘Barcodes’.
Sometimes, you hear quite by accident a track that literally bowls you away. That happened to me a couple of weeks ago when I was trawling various social media sites to find something new and good to listen to. I can’t quite remember now how I came across ‘Barcodes’ by Oslo based Making Marks, but …
See: Emily and the Woods release new video for small song / announce Summer tour dates
My father used to take us to the woods, quite a lot of the time. They didn’t have much money (I’ll never live the embarrassment of my home-made elasticated school trousers, but needs must I suppose) and so at the weekend, when me and my brother (and latterly my sister) were tearing the house apart, …
Album Review: Saltland – I Thought It Was Us But It Was All Of Us
There are some record labels, and Seattle’s Sub Pop comes immediately to mind, where you know that whatever they release is going to be at the very least interesting. Others have the sort of design style where you only have to look at the artwork to know what label is behind it, such as Germany’s …
Track: Editors new single – A ton of love / The Sting
I went to live in Huddersfield when I was 17, away at this music place. I’d lived in the county pretty much all my life so when I first moved to this industrial heartland of years gone by it was a little bit daunting, with its mills and canals and expanses of terraced housing in …
