New Music: Sh?m – Vehement
Taken from his Mob Boss EP, out now on Kapsize Recordings comes the lead single, Vehemont from London Grime producer Sh?m (Shem question mark). In contrast to the heavier, bass heavy vibe of the EP, Vehement is moodier, groovier and (even) funkier. Right from the off it’s packed with these windswept synth lines, with tumbling …

Live Review: Neck Deep, Creeper & WSTR, Leeds Beckett, 19/4/16
Tonight’s bill is an odd mix of bands- kind of a varying punk sandwich if you will, with pop-punk outfits WSTR and Neck Deep doing their thing either side of new-grave, horror-punk band Creeper. First though are the aforementioned WSTR, who run many a parallel with tonight’s headliners Neck Deep. Fair Weather demonstrates this perfectly, …
