Whilst it may feel like it’s been 10,000 days since we heard anything new from Maynard James Keenan, those who have been waiting patiently (or not so patiently as the case may be) have been given a dose of what they crave. A Perfect Circle is a constantly evolving supergroup formed by Keenan and Billy…
2017 has delivered great things for Perth singer-songwriter Riley Pearce. Not only did he play his first international shows in London, but also picked up a ‘WAM Song of the Year’ Award and had one of his songs feature in the US hit show ‘Shadowhunters.’ Quite the introduction for the quietly masterful young Australian artist already making notable waves in…
It has been 13 months since I had a stroke. Robert McCrumb would say: “It’s a soft, inoffensive word – you stroke a baby or a lover. The term “stroke” is slowly being replaced by “brain attack” in the hope that new language will sponsor a new attitude towards the illness.” Strokes are lethal, that’s…
From the London streets and across the Atlantic, Rowe appear on the scene in an undefined form – a project established to be co-produced with beatmakers J£zus Millions (Charli XCX) and Clarence Clarity amongst others, the latest video adds another captivating piece to the puzzle. What is apparent is the telling mixture of sounds –…

We recently featured ‘Mulholland Drive’ – The Penelopes first single from their new EP ‘Leave them all behind. This time the french duo offer up a beautfully Sia-esqe video for their latest release ‘Roses’. Once again the Parisian pop artists serve us a slice of nostalgic, electro-pop matched to a set of striking visuals from…
It’s no surprise that a city as unique and combustive as Liverpool would bring together a band so striking as Wide Eyed Boy. Two parts British, one part German and one part Australian, this four-piece take their adopted home’s heritage seriously – from the internationalist culture of the city, to its inevitable musical lineage. Oliver,…
May I take a brief moment at the beginning of this review to honour the memory of both Kevin Dicker and John Slocombe, the two plays being put on by the Bournemouth Shakespeare Players this year were their favourites and it is a fitting tribute indeed. Having worked with them both in the past the…
From their native Paris suburbs, to their lives in London, The Penelopes, formed by Axel Basquiat and Vincent T have turned their attention from remixing the likes of Lana Del Rey, Pet Shop Boys, and Alt-J to composing music for film for Asia Argento and others. The new single, ‘Mulholland Drive’, with its L.A.-shot video,…
James Gillespie comes forth with the unlikeliest covers, a delicate yet fun rendition of Pink’s “Don’t Let Me Get Me”. The cover follows on from one of the the most exciting debuts of the year with “What You Do”. Bringing his already-recognisable vocal – that rare juxtaposition of rich and raw – to a pop…
It has been over two years since we last ripped into a shitty album, perhaps we were shielding ourselves from a flood of bollocks ruining our love of music. Some say that no album could have been quite as bad as Bruce Willis’ ‘Return of Bruno’ and that is why we haven’t dipped into the worst…
Yeah we posted about Tom Walker earlier today – what you going to do about it? When an artist this good drops two sweet-ass releases within a matter of days of one another it would be rude not to feature them both. The video for ‘Blessings’ beautifully sums up a key message in this life…
