Up until last night, David Bowie and his team seemed in complete control of an impressive marketing campaign for his new album The Next Day. Unfortunately for them, the internet got in the way and the album leaked. Cue The Next Day being released as a free stream on iTunes! To listen to the album…
It may be a short month, but February still managed to produce some awesome new music! My February playlist features Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke’s brilliant remix of MS MR’s ‘Fantasy’, AlunaGeorge’s ‘Attracting Flies’, Yeah Yeah Yeahs new single ‘Sacrilege’ and loads more. Listen to the playlist below, and remember to go check out my…
Much like the (in)famous video for Radiohead track ‘Lotus Flower’, Thom Yorke gets his dancing shoes on in the video for ‘Ingenue’ – the first Atoms For Peace track to have the high honour of a promo video. In the video Yorke has a mirror image dancing partner played by Fukiko Takase. Check it out: Read…
A new month brings a new batch of album releases, and March 2014 is obviously no different. Here’s my pick of the top albums out this month:
Two new tracks from the Klaxons, a new one from Gruff Rhys, the return of both Howling Bells and Little Dragon, killer remixes from Four Tet, Kanye West, Mssing No and brand new tracks from exciting up-and-comers like JUNGLE, Circa Waves, Hockeysmith and more. It’s safe to say February was a pretty awesome month in…
You’d be hard pushed to find a better song from the past few years than Tame Impala’s Lonerism stand-out ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards‘.

With the bedraggled festival-goers leaving the site and the clean-up operation in full swing, Glastonbury 2014 is officially consigned to the history books and attention is immediately switched to next years festival. There’s been a lot of rumours about headliners for Glastonbury 2015, and Michael Eavis even claimed that the deal to book one of…
Manic Street Preachers’ seminal album The Holy Bible is 20 years old this year (at the end of August to be precise), and the band have started to make noises regarding some celebratory anniversary gigs to mark the occasion. Speaking during an interview with Absolute Radio at the weekend, James Dean Bradfield said they “might…
Is there no better way to while away one’s free moments; minutes so furiously wrenched away from the boring rigmarole of everyday life; than putting on pairs of shades and shorts and heading on down to a summer festival. Baking sun, guitar twangs percolating through the breeze, and a frosty pint of lager; we wouldn’t…
