See: One Eyed Wayne release video for Attack of the Luxury Flats
We’re big fans of the post-punk/mod stylings of One Eyed Wayne, and we’re not the only ones with the band pulling radio plays all over the 6music schedules. They’ve drafted in Simon Parfrement (Sleaford Mods Video Director) to film and edit some visuals of the title track from the bands recent album Attack of the …
Album Review: Japandroids – Near To The Wild Heart Of Life
It seems that Brian King and David Prowse have gone full Hooters(the band not the chain store.) They’ve turned their DIY, punk-inspired anthems into full-on roots rockers. From 2009s Post-Nothing clear through to 2012s breakout Celebration Rock, Japandroids have cultivated this caffeinated, punk-meets-Springsteen-meets-Replacements sweat and blood-stained love letters to getting drunk, falling in love, punching …
Album Review: The Flaming Lips – Oczy Mlody
It’s been a long strange trip, hasn’t it? The Flaming Lips have been a musical freak exhibit in a constant state of flux since the late 90s. Each record since 1997s Zaireeka has been a reinvention of the Lips. After the band became a three-piece(along with honorary member and long time producer Dave Fridmann), Wayne …

Premiere: The Sly Persuaders – TFD + Interview
Full of surf tinged psychosis, and the cock sure swagger of a 50’s knife gang, London ‘billy-punks, The Sly Persuaders follow up what seems like an endless stream of live dates with their long awaited debut album. Drawing comparisons to the likes of The Gun Club, The Cramps, and The Birthday Party, they bring their …

Green Day have unleashed a powerful new video for their track Troubled Times. The lyrical content of the song reflects current political and social issues around the world but in particular the situation happening regarding a certain Mr Trump in America. “What good is love and peace on Earth if it’s exclusive?” states front man …
Not Forgotten: Pink Floyd – Animals
In early 1977 the winds of change were blowing. Reflecting the mood of unrest prevalent in the UK at the time, the established old guard of music acts had evolved into largely complacent animals, while the combination of general discontent and the cyclical nature of change meant that they were about to be swept away …

Rising reggae star S I E (Success is everything) is a man in trouble. The Rochester, NY born / LA based songwriters new track, Read It, is a tale of steamy text messages, secret lovers and getting caught in the act. “How could I let you read it, before I delete it, you should’ve never …

Northern-Irish producer Boxcutter has been tastemaking and releasing music for over 15 years on labels such as Hotflush and Planet Mu, yet still skirts around the edge of public conciousness, although revered by fans of his music.
