        by Joshua Ogunmokun
        February 21, 2017 15:15
        Maggie Rogers’ long awaited debut EP surfaced on the 16th of February. Titled Now That The Light Is Fading, the five-track EP collates her three singles and slots a new track to top and tail the disc. I’ve been waiting on the release for a while since ‘Alaska’ took off...

        February 18, 2017 12:00
        Oh, Maroon 5 – it doesn’t usually matter when a band or artist changes – you’ve proved that plenty of times yourselves since your days as Kara’s Flowers – but it does when you move into the blandest, most derivative direction possible, so much so that this ‘change’ is...

        by Joshua Ogunmokun
        February 11, 2017 16:06
        We at Impact would like to introduce you to an “Alt-rock/Indie Rock band formed of 5 university drop-outs, who thrill crowds and disappoint their parents.” Pithy, but perhaps not entirely accurate: their parents have been just as impressed by the rise of Tusk, the Nottingham-based collective whose Facebook page...

        by Joshua Ogunmokun
        January 29, 2017 17:48
        Before this gig, I’d never listened to Avenged Sevenfold. My only reason for securing a ticket was to see special guests (and metal legends) In Flames and Disturbed. Before continuing, I’d like to mention that the production of the show was unparalleled by any show I’ve seen before: the lights,...

        by Joshua Ogunmokun
        December 14, 2016 15:37
        From the outside dubstep may appear to be in a kind of hibernation, with only the die-hard fans really in the know of what’s happening in the scene. The phrase ‘dub-step is dead’ is often seen amongst comments on YouTube, probably posted by the nerds that say all dubstep sounds like Transformers having...

        Friday was a brilliant day if you love hip hop, we had turn up albums, we had conscious albums, we had insightful albums, we have nonsense albums, we had underrated albums, we had very overrated ones, and with all the time I had this weekend I couldn’t get all...

        The Ville is back, the real is back. With his hair grown-out and his lyricism sharp as ever, Jermaine embarks on his most conceptual project yet. Back in 2014, on the run-up to 2014 Forest Hills Drive, J. Cole popped by The Letterman Show, and during a performance of...
