News: Andrew WK announces new album and tour
I have to confess a deep seated admiration for Andrew WK. His first full album, ‘I Get Wet’, released way back in 2001, was one of those guilty pleasures where you couldn’t quite work out if the entire thing was tongue-in-cheek or deadly serious, but whatever it was, it was dumb and fun. And he …

Live Review: Creeper, Manchester Albert Hall, 09/12/17
Creeper are very much a concept band- their dramatic style and aesthetic a joy to watch. Their 2017 has been nothing short of a whirlwind of greatness; having released their debut album, played the Download Festival main stage and then a full stint on the world famous Warped tour in the US their year is …

The Jesus and Mary Chain – The Foundry, Sheffield 25.09.2017
I’d been a bit reluctant to head out and see the Mary Chain. Bad experiences with other heroes from the 80s stumbling on unnecessarily with nothing new to offer (and nothing much old either) had put me off. But when Damage and Joy came out, wiser and more trustworthy folk attested to its quality, so …
Album Review : LCD Soundsystem’s ‘American Dream’
There’s always been something about James Murphy that I’ve been drawn to. Ever since I bought LCD Soundsystem’s Sound Of Silver on a whim back in 2007 I’ve been enamored with the guy. Maybe because he’s close to my age. Maybe because he’s a middle-aged guy acting like a middle-aged guy. He’s not posturing the dude-isms …
