London Film Festival: What We Become
Fu*k. I’m on the London overground heading home from Rich Mix cinema where I’ve been brutalised by Danish zombie horror “What We Become”, part of the Cult strand at this year’s London Film Festival. I think I feel worse than I did when walking out of the “Dawn of the Dead” remake, and I was …
Track: Communions – So Long Sun

Thomas Charlie Pedersen (vocals, guitar), Rasmus Bruun (guitar), and Daniel Pedersen (drums, vocals) are the men in the band. They spoke to us yesterday and this is what they had to say… Backseat …
