My girlfriend and I often have arguments when it comes to making a meal. Not because I burn everything beyond recognition (although admittedly that is an issue), but because she hates spicy food and is therefore objectively wrong. However, this hatred of all things spice came to a screeching halt when I played her She Loves […]

My favourite time of my week has come around again! No, not dialling random phone numbers and saying “your wife knows everything”, or even throwing a beehive through an open window (though I do enjoy both of those things). No, it’s feature o’clock! Urgh, I hate myself. Look, it’s time for a premiere, and this […]

Liverpool-based SPQR pride themselves on their artistic and experimental approach to music and their latest release, No Brain, No Pain, is a fantastic showcase of their distinctive style.

Well, I’m back in a similar situation to a few weeks, months or whatever time it was ago. It’s all blended into one. Have I had a birthday since lockdown began? What debts do I owe? I’m sure I must owe someone something, or I wouldn’t be sat here in my boxers with two big […]

Steeped in the best musical elements of the 80s, Bushido by Eisbear was an absolute pleasure to listen to. In fact, I’ve heard it a few times.

Just over a month ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing the memorable 95 Tribe by Ohio hip-hop artist Tino, and in my eyes, it’s an instant classic. I related to it on the level of a lifelong sports fan, but beyond that, I was impressed by the plain and simple fact that it’s a great song. As […]

Having established himself as a talented singer-songwriter with a keen ear for dreamy atmospherics, Max Gowan returns with his latest single, My Kind, taken from his upcoming album, Last Companion. A steadily rising slow burner, My Kind moves from its glitchy electronic opening to form a bedrock of gorgeous melodies and strummed acoustics. There’s a clear […]

“I wanna be young, I wanna be seen by everyone” opens EP 1 by Dream Tiger. The vocals seep into your veins, and the steady cello keeps them there; cold. Liz Wolf’s voice works its way into your mind like a siren, invoking Lorde with more electronic influences. It invites you in, even though Dream Tiger […]
Continue readingSong Of The Day: Calvin Decline – Start A Fire
Emerging from their seedy underground bunker in Stockholm, the former Nancy Ray Gun have resurfaced into a new world under the guise of Calvin Decline. Amid an upsurge of garage bands, Calvin Decline are one of the few groups who aren’t afraid to keep their raw edge. Their debut single, Start A Fire, is a hard-hitting […]

As I’m sure you as the reader are fully aware, the world is going through an extraordinary time at the moment. People are, for the large part, stuck at home with not an awful lot to do (aside from learning to juggle), and it’s in these times, it’s essential to have a distraction through entertainment. […]
