Because at some point over the past three decades they hit upon, if not pioneered, a winning formula that includes: 80s metal riffs,Continue reading “Weezer – I Want A Dog”

Lana Del Rey – Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
There actually is a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard, a million reviews have rejoiced in telling the world over the past couple of days. It’s named Jergins Tunnel, leading to Long Beach, California, and having looked at a few pictures it’s a fair bit grubbier these days than the LA songstress would have us believe. ButContinue reading “Lana Del Rey – Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd”

Bethan Lloyd describes her new single ‘Cutting Circuits’ as “a celebration of relinquishing control, both internally and externally.

Fate Of The Sun – Hey Mate, Hey Mate!
Picture the scene: you’ve met a pal for a swift pint after work or stopped in a bar with your other half during a weekend afternoon shopping trip and you’re accosted by a total loose canon you used to go to school with or some live wire friend of a friend you had a 5Continue reading “Fate Of The Sun – Hey Mate, Hey Mate!”
Marseille – Freedom
The natural question to ask several minutes into Derby newcomers Marseille’s third single ‘Freedom’ is, “Nice one! So when in the early 90s was this absolute stormer of a Madchester track released?” And if you were to ask that question, you’d be a fool on two counts: Count number 1: ‘Freedom’ was released on FridayContinue reading “Marseille – Freedom”
The Gulps – Candy
With each single release The Gulps seem to up the disco ante and we love it.
