I don’t like the taste of the water in the city . A line I can strongly relate to. I was once absolutely hammered on a London bus ranting to my ex girlfriend about how the water is genuinely killing me, to which a man shouted at me as he jumped off at his stop, “fuck off back up

Here, I’ve a cool new band for you. They’ve got a new single out called deepfake. Deepfakes. When the viral video created by Jordan Peele of Obama surfaced in 2018, fear cloaked the internet of the potential political implications. Now, in 2020, it’s come to light that 96% of de

It kicks off frighteningly similar to Franz Ferdinand. Did I consider switching it off? Nearly. Am I glad I didn’t? Absolutely. There are no half-arsed, smug vocals in here, just a delightfully refreshing record that hones in on any lazy, unimaginative thoughts of yours and boots

It’s rare that I come across a track like this. After such a lull in music, attitude and general fucking life, it’s thrilling to be reminded by the sloppy kiss of a spacey guitar that not everything is uninspired at the moment. This track alone has served an expected fist beneath

“Karaoke?” you ask. And with a gale-like sigh, my head facing the ground and hands parked on my thighs, I respond “yeah, go on then”. What do we fear most about karaoke? The performance? The prophecy of how wrecked you’ll be in 4 hours time? The crowd you’re going to encounter in

I don’t know what happens. Every time I sit down to write a review of an album with happy guitars in, all I can think of is summer. Does that make me underqualified and shit? Absolutely, but here, you listen to the tories soo… Anyway, let’s get the reason you came, Willie J Heale

Silverbacks are set to release their debut album on 17th July via Central Tones after a slow stream of singles on Soundcloud dating back to 2015. It’s this laidback approach that births the creativeness and holds the resilience of the band. They’re able to take a step back and n
Roundups
We promised we’d start doing these roundups about three weeks ago and then just got pissed in the meantime. So, here you have it, fans. Three weeks worth of ‘ard graft.

Synth heavy, summer filled tracks have a certain melancholy tagged to them by default this year. Something feels inherently wrong about sitting on my own listening to cheery saxophones, funky backing guitars and sliding bass while I’m sat in the garden bar (shed) on an old flower

Mia Pyrah's on the beginning of her gig photography journey and, despite the current industry conditions, has been finding ways to keep busy by capturing live streams. There's something to learn from everyone and the passion behind Mia will bring many more great photos in the fut

My Airpods broke... I’ve escaped back up North to the family home for lockdown, so the dynamics of listening to music have changed. Gone of the days where I can listen to music laid in bed without my little brother asking if I want a fight. It’s not all bad, though, there’s a ha

It turns out isolating in a room smaller than Harry Potter’s cupboard under the stairs is not a place full of inspiration. My sealed shut windows look out onto the adjoining houses that have balconies to catch the sun from rise till fall; I have a garden that sits completely in t
