Interview
Meet: Gangs, and listen to their new single, Theives
When we first heard Scottish quartet Gangs, we were a little intimidated. Despite the fact that we loved the driving, hard edged indie/punk rock of their new single Thieves, there was this sense of malevolence and anger about it that just kept us, as it keeps the track, on edge. It’s a pulsating affair, that …
Track: Dr. Meaker – Dirt & Soul + exclusive Interview
Dr. Meaker are a Bristol based eight piece band, live instruments, samples, studio electronics and big voices create some heavy underground drum and bass covered in liquid deep soul. ‘Dirt & Soul’ is their debut album and it’s going to turn some heads. Already getting the crowds going at Glastonbury, Bestival, Boomtown Fair, Snowbombing, Isle Of Wight festival and …
Meet: Clive Jones of The Train Set, and catch up with their live dates
A couple of highly regarded 12″s, much fawning including support from Stuart Maconie and a single of the week in the NME, and kind words from the likes of Noel Gallagher in the intervening years, but other than that Crewe five-piece The Train Set were just a footnote in the history of indie music. And …
Meet: Ranch Ghost
Their debut album contains a track that tells the tale of a cat tripped out on magic mushrooms. I thought this sounded like a story I wanted to hear, so I delved a little deeper and discovered a band of shack dwellers from Nashville that play some super fine chilled out tunes just perfect for …
Meet: Evans the Death, and listen to ‘Suitcase Jimmy’
Having just released their 3rd album ‘Vanilla’ through the ever reliable Foruna POP!, Evans The Death were kind enough to provide us the following interview. Days before setting off for UK tour, and just a few hours before BREXIT, here’s what they have to say. Enjoy! So let’s begin with the obvious question! Why did …
Meet: The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer
Vancouver duo The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer are fresh from a handful of European dates, in support of their recent record Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To. Although the name suggests something of the extremes (I had dutch happy hardcore, or Swedish death metal in mind) they actually make this rather intoxicating mix …
Interview: New Years Day @ Camden Rocks Festival
New Years Day have an interesting take on life. We caught up with Ash and Nikki from the band at Camden Rocks Festival over the weekend, to find out how things are going for them. We discussed everything from Disneyland, to Marilyn Manson, and why it’s okay to be happy living on the darker side …
INTERVIEW: Reckless Love @ Camden Rocks Festival
With over 200 bands playing Camden Rocks, it was quite the task to grab interviews in all the madness. We managed to pin down Reckless Love in the yard behind the venue they were playing in, the Electric Ballroom, to have a quick chat about living life as though we’re still in the 80s! BM: …
Meet: Outblinker Interview
Outblinker make this rather fantastic heavy synth, motorik style krautRock, as evidenced by their recent, and rather brilliant Remains of Arthur Peck EP, which has shades of Fuck Buttons, along with a little splash of Godspeed! In there for good measure. We spoke to Chris and Luigi from the band to find out a little …
Meet: Luke Howard, and listen to his track ‘The Ends’
Sometimes you hear something that makes you stop. That sweeps over you with its emotion. Like you know those songs that used to be on Grey’s Anatomy when something went wrong, (cue held camera shots and arty cutaways), well even more emotional than that. Like, real. Well, Australian composer and musician Luke Howard did that …
