Robyn & La Bagatelle Magicque – Love Is Free track review
Best of July #1 As much as I’m called a hipster by my friends, I’d be straight up lying if I said I knew of La Bagatelle Magicque before I came across this snazzy dance tune earlier this week. Although at first glance it might sound like La Bagatelle Magicque is some sort of obscure…

5 Albums Celebrating Huge Birthdays in 2015
Birthdays. For those of us who respire and are reading this incoherent rambling right now, it’s a milestone where we drink and eat lots to ignore the fact we’re one year closer to our inevitable deaths but for albums, it’s a little bit less depressing. They serve as reminders to what music was like when…

Kanye West Glastonbury review
To call Kanye West the most famous/infamous modern day musician in the world would be the understatement of the year. In his career that has spanned over more than a decade, the rapper who was raised in Chicago has faced controversy on more occasions than the likes of Katie Hopkins. However nothing he has done was as…

Fresh future ahead for Foals?
12 seconds. That’s all it took for for Foals teaser trailer, simply titled 2015, to set Twitter’s music community on fire. Although fans knew there was an album in the making, this was the first glimpse of album number 4 and I’m not kidding when I say glimpse. Out of the 12 seconds, the majority…

Simp-ye the best: Kanye West’s best tracks
Love him, hate him or just undecided, it’s impossible in this day of social media and smartphones to avoid the outspoken superstar that is Kanye West. Ever since he released debut album The College Dropout in 2004, my personal favourite, Kanye/Yeezus/Yeezy/Ye hasn’t shied away from controversy, most notably storming on stage during Taylor Swift’s VMA win…

Blink and you’ll miss it! (7/06/2015)
A bit of context before I start this blog post. I’ve been writing music reviews and other articles for nearly 2 years now. Something I started off as just a passtime has become a big part of my life and now that I’m studying journalism in Glasgow, I’ve managed to improve my articles dramatically (if…

Jamie XX – In Colour review
The XX are without a doubt one of the most divisive bands to come out in the last 5 years. Ever since they came onto the scene in 2010 with their eponymous titled debut album and managed to beat big name artists like Biffy Clyro and Foals for the prestigious Mercury Prize award, they’ve managed…

Album Reviews: 25/05/2015-31/05/2015 inc. The Vaccines, Lifehouse and Jarrod Alonge
The Vaccines – English Graffiti The Vaccines’ third album has been a long time coming, well in terms of their normal speed it is. Their appropriately titled sophmore album Come Of Age came out just 18 months after their successful debut album What Did You Expect From The Vaccines, both of which are indie gems…

BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2015 Review, 23/05/2015 – 24/05/2015
Festival season is coming. Soon the flower head dresses will be donned, the tents miserably pitched up and the cliché face-paint put on by every guy in sight (happy/sad to admit I did the same at T last year). With Glastonbury just under a month away, the BBC have got music fans hyped for the…

Review: Tyler The Creator, Barrowlands, Glasgow – May 12th 2015
A sea of supreme hoodie wearing teens pass a fan’s phone on stage to Odd Future leader and star of tonight Tyler The Creator. It’s clear from the moment he answers the phone he’s not the nicest guy about. “We’re all having so much fun here, enjoy your miserable night loser!” he tells the friend,…
