This week Tame Impala revealed that they are back, so of course I’ve been celebrating this to the soundtrack of their brand new single. ‘Let It Happen’ is 7 minutes and 59 seconds of absolute genius. It’s as synthy […]

Album Review – "Don't Say That", Superfood
I’ve been a major fan of Superfood and their quirky lyrics about TVs and raisins since they first put out their debut ‘Superfood’ what seems like an age ago. 2014 has been their year – they’ve toured with NME and […]
Album Review – "The Endless River", Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd have always let the music do the talking. The band that defined and perfected progressive rock through the 70s, they consistently put out exciting music despite being rocked by inner turmoil and the loss of not one but […]
Album Review: "Whispers", Passenger
Mike Rosenberg (aka Passenger) has a lot of things going for him; a hit number one single, a distinguishable tone of voice, an ability to write songs, glorious elf-like ears and not to forget that cracking beard. But one of […]
Live Review – LTJ Bukem and DJ Hype @ Fabric
Dressed Head to Toe in a Leather Cat suit- which pretty quickly I recognised was a bad move for a Drum and Bass night, adorned with freaky cat eye contact lenses and with a friend who had a face […]

I saw Sundara Karma at The Old Blue Last in Shoreditch last December, and since I’ve been hooked. If I was to predict the next up-and-comer to make it, I’d bet on these guys. Sundara Karma are a quartet from […]
Band of the Moment: Glass Animals
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 […]
