My big thing at the moment definitely has to be Glass Animals. They’re a quartet of lads from Oxford and they make really cool spacey music (I’ve played them on my show quite a bit). They’ve been on tour with […]

Album Review – "48:13", Kasabian
I can’t get enough of Kasabian’s latest offering. Lead single ‘Eez-Eh’ had me hooked from its first play, giving me high hopes for the album, which definitely doesn’t disappoint. The 13 tracks are carefully crafted by the band in order […]
Album Review – "Daydreamer", Harts
With the ever creeping stagnation of the rock music genre, many long term fans fear the eventual collapse of rock into the dark abyss of mediocrity. However, amidst the dreary and unimaginative offerings of Kings of Leon and Nickelback, to […]
Insanity Radio Award Nominees
The much anticipated Royal Holloway Societies Ball is coming up this Saturday, and you know what that means? It’s awards season! We’ve got three very prestigious awards to give out and the nominees are now in… Best Entertainment Show: […]
Pick Of The Week – "All The Sad Young Men", Spector
Spector have been under the radar for the past couple of years since their debut album ‘Enjoy It While It Lasts’, but they’ve burst back onto the scene with their latest single ‘All The Sad Young Men’. I feel […]
Album Review – "Everything Is Fine", Hawk Eyes
It has been three years since Hawk Eyes’ last full length release “Ideas”. However, despite receiving almost universal critical acclaim in the mainstream music press, the album only sold modestly. This eventually left the band without a major label, forcing […]
Live Review – Marmozets, Electric Ballroom, 19/02/15
Every so often a band comes along that makes you question why everybody else settles for musical mediocrity when they could strive for so much more. Marmozets showed promise from the moment they burst on the scene, fresh-faced teenagers […]
Live Review – The Kathryn Wheel @ The Retro Bar, Manchester
The best sort of gig is always the one in a tiny, dingy underground bar in the back streets of a city – and Manchester is as good as any! I haven’t had time to attend many of these […]
Album Review – "Twenty Three Years", Nessi
Nessi Tausendschoen is an up-and-coming German artist. Her new EP was created with Canadian guitar player William MacKenzie, which was the first collaboration between the two artists in their respective careers. To add even more to the mix, they […]
Gig Review: OK Go @ KOKO, London – 13/02/2015
As a long time OK Go fan, numerous were the hours that I sat with baited breath on the bands’ website waiting for UK tour dates to be announced. Finally, in late August of last year, my perseverance paid […]
Pick of the Week | Ed Sheeran – All Of The Stars
No spoilers, I promise, but allow me if you will to drop in a reference, now and again. Okay? Okay. So… the Fault In Our Stars soundtrack was released yesterday. The critically acclaimed book, The Fault In Our Stars by […]
Pick Of The Week – "Why Do You Hate Me?", Marmozets
Underground British rock is alive and well in 2014, and few bands embody the spirit of it quite like the marvellously unconventional Marmozets. Industry attention has been fixed on the young group for the last few years, and the last […]
