EXCLUSIVE! : Pusher – ‘10,000 Hours’ – Exclusive first stream + interview.
Think back to the first time you heard your favourite band. You could probably tell in a few heartbeats that you were going to like them, and before the first song had ended, you were in love and wanted more. Well get ready, because if you haven’t yet, you’re about to meet your next favourite …
Track: Alex Burey – Inside World
I’m at the age now when I can just about begin to organise the important aspects of my life, such as generally being in the right place at the right time for whats needed – work, food, sleep and suchlike. But there again, I’m staring down the barrel of middle age, so I damn well …
EP: Pierre Codarin – Seconds to Go
We missed this when it dropped right at the end of last month, but it was too good to miss out completely. Fresh from his Waifs & Strays ‘Keep Pushing’ EP, which saw the label get support from the likes of Groove Armada and Tensnake, London based producer Pierre Codarin came back with a new …
Meet: Habitats interview
One band who we fear we may have fallen head over heels with in the last few weeks and months is London quartet, Habitats. If there’s one thing we like to hang our hat on here at Backseat Mafia is tunes (and noisy shit and noodly guitars and time signatures and handclaps, but mainly tunes) …
New Music: Uzzee – TYT
22 year old London born rapper Uzzee is set to release his debut EP, Evolution, next week and from it he’s streaming the emotion filled electro of TYT, or Take Your Time. He’s drafted in some hot producers to work their magic over the release, with young UK producer Jelacee of Stooki Sound, Hawaiian based …
Live: Kate Bush – Before The Dawn
The story of Kate Bush’s return to live concerts is now well-known: one six-week tour in 1979 finished at the Hammersmith Apollo and she never again went on tour or performed an entire set for the public. Some cited nerves, others exhaustion from her relentless perfectionism. Rumours said that the death of her lighting director, …
Film Review – Delicious
Early July saw the UK premiere of Delicious, an independent film that dives into the dark depths of mental illness and its devastating effects on personal relationships. Delicious tells the story of Jacques, a talented French chef who arrives in London in search of employment at an uptown restaurant. The job is the least of …
Meet: interview with Terminal Gods, plus live review
Announcing their arrival on stage with a short and punchy blast of ‘Peter Gunn’, it was clear from the off that Terminal Gods were here to blow the joint apart, and attempt to leave a lasting impression on the gathering before them. Just in case anyone had any doubt as to where they were going …
New Music: CuT – Let’s Go
Doing it yourself has always been an ethos worth following by Punk bands, and certainly London space-punk quartet CuT have immersed themselves in it. Out on July 28th is their new single, Lets Go, and its certainly an intoxicating blend of Ramones style DIY adrenelin fuelled punk rock, heavy fuzz, and immediately singable pop melodies. …
Meet: Zara McFarlane
“I was at a point where I hadn’t tried to do my own thing. I had lots of plans but I hadn’t really given it a try yet, to be an artist, to do my own music … So I needed to at least try.” We were almost defeated before we began. Our meeting …
