LIVE: Lonely The Brave / Marmozets / Allusondrugs- Corporation, Sheffield 13.10.2014
What could be better to blow away the Monday blues than three great up-and-coming bands in a tiny little room in Sheffield? Well, nothing would be the answer to that. Drenched in sweat and kicking Monday into touch, Allusondrugs, Lonely The Brave and Marmozets prove why they deserve to be selling out venues so early …
News: Bruce Springsteen to release The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984
For some reason I can’t help liking Bruce Springsteen. For all his bluster, forced blue-collar worthiness and questionable career moves, his heart always seems to be in the right place. Springsteen is one of those musicians who has been periodically rediscovered by new generations of music fans, as his influence has flowed down through the …

New Music: Pjaro – Swordface
The first time I saw Pjaro was when they were supporting Joie De Vivre about 3 years ago. At this point they were just two abnormally mature looking teenagers playing an off-kilter muscular version of math-rock which people their age had no right being able to do. It was weird, slightly depressing (if they were …
Album Review: Hesitant Alien by Gerard Way
Gerard Way has never been one for just settling with how things are.
