• Track Review: ‘All For One’ – The Stone Roses

    After 21 years, The Stone Roses have released a new single, ‘All for One’, produced by Paul Epworth. The band have been hinting, since 2012, that new music was on the way, but nothing prevailed. With their iconic lemon logos featured on billboards around Manchester though, it was signalled...
  • Album Review: Radiohead – A Moon Shaped Pool

    After all the waiting, all the teasing, and all the anticipation, it finally arrived. Five years after The King of Limbs and within a week of the deleting of their internet presence, Radiohead’s 9th album – A Moon Shaped Pool – was finally announced and released. The unexpected arrival...
  • Live Review: HÆLOS, Bodega (02/05/2016)

    HÆLOS are the furthest thing from the characterless contrived creatives that come to mind when you think about an experimental electronic trio hailing from Hackney.

  • Live Review: Father John Misty, Rock City (15/05/2016)

    Sleek, sardonic and intensely sarcastic: Josh Tillman (aka. Father John Misty) was one of the year’s most anticipated visitors to Rock City in Nottingham. But he’s also a man who divides opinion. Uniquely, it would be hard to imagine the talent of Tillman’s lyricism, vocal chops or showmanship being...
  • Album Review: KAYTRANADA – 99.9%

    I didn’t really know who Kaytranada was up until this point, and had his album not dropped on what I’m now dubbing Four Album Friday (May 6th), I would not have taken the time to listen to it. Despite my lack of knowledge on this artist and my surprise...
