Crystal Castles – Deicide track review
Best of July #5 Just like a building made out of such a fragile material, Crystal Castles stood strong together for years. Whereas other synth-pop acts like CHVRCHES had a more cheerful take on the genre, this Canadian duo turned the genre on its head by infecting it with apocalyptic tales of despair and sadness.…

Bring Me The Horizon – Throne EP Review
Best of July #4 I need to put this out there before I start this review: I don’t like Bring Me The Horizon. Well that’s not exactly true. I don’t like their early death core stuff, whether or not it was because the sound was just generic or I could only handle so much of…

The Libertines – Gunga Din track review
Best Of July #3 I’ll probably be shot by a legion of indie maniacs for this but I’m not a fan of The Libertines. Don’t get me wrong, they’re not a terrible band, far from it, they’ve crafted some of the best song of, arguably, this century. However, when I was growing up and even…

Mac DeMarco – I’ve Been Waiting For Her track review
Best of July #2 Mac DeMarco is sort of a big deal. His 2014 album Salad Days was met with universal acclaim and triggered a wave of recognition for the Marlboro smoking Canadian.Over the course of a year he went from a grimy, rugged hair musician making music in his own apartment to an internet…

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…

Batman: Arkham Knight review
“Remove yourself from the piece.” This is a piece of advice, well not so much a piece of advice rather than a rule, that I got repeatedly told during my first year of journalism. While it’s easy enough to stick to this rule while writing about the news or something miscellaneous, it proves to be…

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…

Violence and Video-games: A Link To The Present?
20th April 1999. The state of Colorado is shaken to its core as two tormented teens Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, equipped with shotguns and explosives, killed 13 people and injured 24 others before killing themselves at their local high school in Columbine. Almost immediately after the fatal attacks, the media put the blame on…

Everything is shite and it’s all Jeremy Clarkson’s fault
Unless you’ve been inside all day, recovering from a weekend long binge then you might have noticed that it’s kind of warm outside. Well by warm I mean enough to justify not wearing a jacket which could be anything from 7 degrees to a trillion. I don’t know if that’s the case with the rest…
